Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων· μαρτύριον τῷ Ἀσάφ, ψαλμὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἀσσυρίου.
2They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
2Ο ΠΟΙΜΑΙΝΩΝ τὸν Ἰσραήλ, πρόσχες, ὁ ὁδηγῶν ὡσεὶ πρόβατα τὸν Ἰωσήφ. ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν Χερουβίμ, ἐμφάνηθι.
3They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
3ἐναντίον Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ Μανασσῆ ἐξέγειρον τὴν δυναστείαν σου καὶ ἐλθὲ εἰς τὸ σῶσαι ἡμᾶς.
4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
4ὁ Θεός, ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ σωθησόμεθα.
5How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
5Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ἕως πότε ὀργίζῃ ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν τῶν δούλων σου;
6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
6ψωμιεῖς ἡμᾶς ἄρτον δακρύων; καὶ ποτιεῖς ἡμᾶς ἐν δάκρυσιν ἐν μέτρῳ;
7for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
7ἔθου ἡμᾶς εἰς ἀντιλογίαν τοῖς γείτοσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν ἐμυκτήρισαν ἡμᾶς.
8Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
8Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ σωθησόμεθα. (διάψαλμα).
9Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
9ἄμπελον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετῇρας, ἐξέβαλες ἔθνη καὶ κατεφύτευσας αὐτήν·
10Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
10ὡδοποίησας ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς καὶ κατεφύτευσας τὰς ρίζας αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπλήρωσε τὴν γῆν.
11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
11ἐκάλυψεν ὄρη ἡ σκιὰ αὐτῆς καὶ αἱ ἀναδενδράδες αὐτῆς τὰς κέδρους τοῦ Θεοῦ·
12Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
12ἐξέτεινε τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἕως ποταμῶν τὰς παραφυάδας αὐτῆς.
13So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
13ἱνατί καθεῖλες τὸν φραγμὸν αὐτῆς καὶ τρυγῶσιν αὐτὴν πάντες οἱ παραπορευόμενοι τὴν ὁδόν;
