Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
1ᾨδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. ΕΚ ΒΑΘΕΩΝ ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε·
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
2Κύριε, εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου· γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
3ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται;
4The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
4ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
5ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου.
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
6ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον απὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
7ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις,
8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
8καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.
