Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
1Εἰς Σαλωμών. Ο ΘΕΟΣ, τὸ κρίμα σου τῷ βασιλεῖ δὸς καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως
2Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
2κρίνειν τὸν λαόν σου ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς σου ἐν κρίσει.
3Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
3ἀναλαβέτω τὰ ὄρη εἰρήνην τῷ λαῷ σου καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ δικαιοσύνην.
4Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
4κρινεῖ τοὺς πτωχοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ σώσει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν πενήτων καὶ ταπεινώσει συκοφάντην
5For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
5καὶ συμπαραμενεῖ τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ πρὸ τῆς σελήνης γενεὰς γενεῶν.
6I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
6καταβήσεται ὡς ὑετὸς ἐπὶ πόκον καὶ ὡσεὶ σταγὼν ἡ στάζουσα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
7I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
7ἀνατελεῖ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ δικαιοσύνη καὶ πλῆθος εἰρήνης, ἕως οὗ ἀνταναιρεθῇ ἡ σελήνη.
8My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
8καὶ κατακυριεύσει ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἀπὸ ποταμῶν ἕως περάτων τῆς οἰκουμένης.
9Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
9ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ προπεσοῦνται Αἰθίοπες, καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ χοῦν λείξουσι.
10For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
10βασιλεῖς Θαρσὶς καὶ νῆσοι δῶρα προσοίσουσι, βασιλεῖς Ἀράβων καὶ Σαβᾶ δῶρα προσάξουσι.
11saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
11καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη δουλεύσουσιν αὐτῷ.
12God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
12ὅτι ἐρρύσατο πτωχὸν ἐκ δυνάστου καὶ πένητα, ᾧ οὐχ ὑπῆρχε βοηθός.
13Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
13φείσεται πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος καὶ ψυχὰς πενήτων σώσει.
14But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
14ἐκ τόκου καὶ ἐξ ἀδικίας λυτρώσεται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔντιμον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
15My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
15καὶ ζήσεται, καὶ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου τῆς Ἀραβίας, καὶ προσεύξονται περὶ αὐτοῦ διαπαντός, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν εὐλογήσουσιν αὐτόν.
16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
16ἔσται στήριγμα ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐπ᾿ ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων· ὑπεραρθήσεται ὑπὲρ τὸν Λίβανον ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξανθήσουσιν ἐκ πόλεως ὡσεὶ χόρτος τῆς γῆς.
17God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
17ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ εὐλογημένον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, πρὸ τοῦ ἡλίου διαμένει τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη μακαριοῦσιν αὐτόν.
18Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
18εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια μόνος,
19God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
19καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ πληρωθήσεται τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ. γένοιτο, γένοιτο. Ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὕμνοι Δαυΐδ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἰεσσαί.
20You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
