Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
1Συνέσεως τῷ Δαυΐδ, ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ· προσευχή.
2Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
2ΦΩΝ… μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐκέκραξα, φωνῇ μου πρὸς Κύριον ἐδεήθην.
3Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
3ἐκχεῶ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τὴν δέησίν μου, τὴν θλῖψίν μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγελῶ.
4Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
4ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸ πνεῦμά μου, καὶ σὺ ἔγνως τὰς τρίβους μου· ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ, ᾗ ἐπορευόμην, ἔκρυψαν παγίδα μοι.
5Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
5κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με· ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου.
6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
6ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ, Κύριε, εἶπα· σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου, μερίς μου εἶ ἐν γῇ ζώντων.
7“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”
7πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου, ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα· ρῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
8For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
8ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου· ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσι δίκαιοι, ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι.
9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
