Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῆς ἀντιλήψεως τῆς ἑωθινῆς, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ.
2You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
2Ὁ Θεός ὁ Θεός μου, πρόσχες μοι, ἱνατί ἐγκατέλιπές με; μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς σωτηρίας μου οἱ λόγοι τῶν παραπτωμάτων μου.
3For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
3Ο Θεός μου, κεκράξομαι ἡμέρας πρὸς σὲ καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσῃ, καὶ νυκτὸς καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἄνοιαν ἐμοί.
4He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
4Σὺ δὲ ἐν ἁγίῳ κατοικεῖς, ὁ ἔπαινος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
5His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
5Ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἤλπισαν καὶ ἐῤῥύσω αὐτούς.
6For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
6Πρὸς σὲ ἐκέκραξαν καὶ ἐσώθησαν, ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισαν καὶ οὐ κατῃσχύνθησαν.
7For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
7Ἐγὼ δέ εἰμι σκώληξ καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος, ὄνειδος ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἐξουδένημα λαοῦ.
8Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
8Πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντές με ἐξεμυκτήρισάν με, ἐλάλησαν ἐν χείλεσιν, ἐκίνησαν κεφαλὴν,
9You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
9ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον, ῥυσάσθω αὐτὸν, σωσάτω αὐτὸν, ὅτι θέλει αὐτόν.
10You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
10Ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ἐκσπάσας με ἐκ γαστρὸς, ἡ ἐλπίς μου ἀπὸ μαστῶν τῆς μητρός μου,
11For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
11ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπεῤῥίφην ἐκ μήτρας· ἐκ κοιλίας μητρός μου Θεός μου εἶ σύ.
12For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
12Μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· ὅτι θλίψις ἐγγὺς, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ βοηθῶν.
13Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
13Περιεκύκλωσάν με μόσχοι πολλοί, ταῦροι πίονες περιέσχον με.
