Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, τῷ Ἰδιθούν· ᾠδὴ τῷ Δαυΐδ.
2For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
2ΕΙΠΑ· φυλάξω τὰς ὁδούς μου τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν με ἐν γλώσσῃ μου· ἐθέμην τῷ στόματί μου φυλακὴν ἐν τῷ συστῆναι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐναντίον μου.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
3ἐκωφώθην καὶ ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἐσίγησα ἐξ ἀγαθῶν, καὶ τὸ ἄλγημά μου ἀνεκαινίσθη.
4For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
4ἐθερμάνθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐντός μου, καὶ ἐν τῇ μελέτῃ μου ἐκκαυθήσεται πῦρ. ἐλάλησα ἐν γλώσσῃ μου·
5My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.
5γνώρισόν μοι, Κύριε, τὸ πέρας μου καὶ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν μου, τίς ἐστιν, ἵνα γνῶ τί ὑστερῶ ἐγώ.
6I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
6ἰδοὺ παλαιστὰς ἔθου τὰς ἡμέρας μου, καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου ὡσεὶ οὐθὲν ἐνώπιόν σου· πλὴν τὰ σύμπαντα ματαιότης, πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ζῶν. (διάψαλμα).
7For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
7μέντοιγε ἐν εἰκόνι διαπορεύεται ἄνθρωπος, πλὴν μάτην ταράσσεται· θησαυρίζει καὶ οὐ γινώσκει τίνι συνάξει αὐτά.
8I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
8καὶ νῦν τίς ἡ ὑπομονή μου; οὐχὶ ὁ Κύριος; καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασίς μου παρὰ σοί ἐστιν.
9Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
9ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν μου ρῦσαί με, ὄνειδος ἄφρονι ἔδωκάς με.
10My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
10ἐκωφώθην καὶ οὐκ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, ὅτι σὺ ἐποίησας.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
11ἀπόστησον ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ τὰς μάστιγάς σου· ἀπὸ γὰρ τῆς ἰσχύος τῆς χειρός σου ἐγὼ ἐξέλιπον.
12They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
12ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας ἐπαίδευσας ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἐξέτηξας ὡς ἀράχνην τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ· πλὴν μάτην ταράσσεται πᾶς ἄνθρωπος. (διάψαλμα).
13But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
13εἰσάκουσον τῆς προσευχῆς μου, Κύριε, καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς μου, ἐνώτισαι τῶν δακρύων μου· μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς, ὅτι πάροικος ἐγώ εἰμι παρὰ σοὶ καὶ παρεπίδημος καθὼς πάντες οἱ πατέρες μου.
14Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
14ἄνες μοι, ἵνα ἀναψύξω πρὸ τοῦ με ἀπελθεῖν καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ ὑπάρξω.
15For I hope in you, LORD. You will answer, Lord my God.
