Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
1Αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυΐδ. Ο ΚΑΤΟΙΚΩΝ ἐν βοηθείᾳ τοῦ Ὑψίστου, ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ αὐλισθήσεται.
2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
2ἐρεῖ τῷ Κυρίῳ· ἀντιλήπτωρ μου εἶ καὶ καταφυγή μου, ὁ Θεός μου, καὶ ἐλπιῶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν,
3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
3ὅτι αὐτὸς ρύσεταί σε ἐκ παγίδος θηρευτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ λόγου ταραχώδους.
4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
4ἐν τοῖς μεταφρένοις αὐτοῦ ἐπισκιάσει σοι, καὶ ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτοῦ ἐλπιεῖς· ὅπλῳ κυκλώσει σε ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ.
5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
5οὐ φοβηθήσῃ ἀπὸ φόβου νυκτερινοῦ, ἀπὸ βέλε ἡ ἀλήθμένου ἡμέρας,
6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
6ἀπὸ πράγματος ἐν σκότει διαπορευομένου, ἀπὸ συμπτώματος καὶ δαιμονίου μεσημβρινοῦ.
7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
7πεσεῖται ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους σου χιλιὰς καὶ μυριὰς ἐκ δεξιῶν σου, πρὸς σὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ·
8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
8πλὴν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου κατανοήσεις καὶ ἀνταπόδοσιν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄψει.
9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
9ὅτι σύ, Κύριε, ἡ ἐλπίς μου· τὸν Ὓψιστον ἔθου καταφυγήν σου.
10The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
10οὐ προσελεύσεται πρὸς σὲ κακά, καὶ μάστιξ οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ ἐν τῷ σκηνώματί σου.
11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
11ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου·
12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
12ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου·
13Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
13ἐπὶ ἀσπίδα καὶ βασιλίσκον ἐπιβήσῃ καὶ καταπατήσεις λέοντα καὶ δράκοντα.
14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
14ὅτι ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἤλπισε, καὶ ρύσομαι αὐτόν· σκεπάσω αὐτόν, ὅτι ἔγνω τὸ ὄνομά μου.
15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
15κεκράξεται πρός με, καὶ ἐπακούσομαι αὐτοῦ, μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰμι ἐν θλίψει· ἐξελοῦμαι αὐτόν, καὶ δοξάσω αὐτόν.
16Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
16μακρότητα ἡμερῶν ἐμπλήσω αὐτὸν καὶ δείξω αὐτῷ τὸ σωτήριόν μου.
17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
