Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ, ᾠδή· Ἱερεμίου καὶ Ἰεζεκιήλ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς παροικίας, ὅτε ἔμελλον ἐκπορεύεσθαι.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
2ΣΟΙ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ὕμνος, ὁ Θεός, ἐν Σιών, καὶ σοὶ ἀποδοθήσεται εὐχὴ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
3εἰσάκουσον προσευχῆς μου· πρὸς σὲ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἥξει.
4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
4λόγοι ἀνόμων ὑπερεδυνάμωσαν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ταῖς ἀσεβείαις ἡμῶν σὺ ἱλάσῃ.
5They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
5μακάριος ὃν ἐξελέξω καὶ προσελάβου· κατασκηνώσει ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου. πλησθησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς τοῦ οἴκου σου· ἅγιος ὁ ναός σου,
6They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
6θαυμαστὸς ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ. ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν, ὁ Θεός, ὁ σωτὴρ ἡμῶν, ἡ ἐλπὶς πάντων τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς καὶ τῶν ἐν θαλάσσῃ μακράν,
7But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
7ἑτοιμάζων ὄρη ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ, περιεζωσμένος ἐν δυναστείᾳ,
8Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
8ὁ συνταράσσων τὸ κῦτος τῆς θαλάσσης, ἤχους κυμάτων αὐτῆς. ταραχθήσονται τὰ ἔθνη,
9All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
9καὶ φοβηθήσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰ πέρατα ἀπὸ τῶν σημείων σου· ἐξόδους πρωΐας καὶ ἑσπέρας τέρψεις.
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
10ἐπεσκέψω τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐμέθυσας αὐτήν, ἐπλήθυνας τοῦ πλουτίσαι αὐτήν· ὁ ποταμὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπληρώθη ὑδάτων· ἡτοίμασας τὴν τροφὴν αὐτῶν, ὅτι οὕτως ἡ ἑτοιμασία.
