LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2 οι ουρανοι διηγουνται δοξαν θεου ποιησιν δε χειρων αυτου αναγγελλει το στερεωμα	2 The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands.
3 ημερα τη ημερα ερευγεται ρημα και νυξ νυκτι αναγγελλει γνωσιν	3 Day proclaims the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
4 ουκ εισιν λαλιαι ουδε λογοι ων ουχι ακουονται αι φωναι αυτων	4 There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard.
5 εις πασαν την γην εξηλθεν ο φθογγος αυτων και εις τα περατα της οικουμενης τα ρηματα αυτων εν τω ηλιω εθετο το σκηνωμα αυτου	5 Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
6 και αυτος ως νυμφιος εκπορευομενος εκ παστου αυτου αγαλλιασεται ως γιγας δραμειν οδον αυτου	6 He has placed his tabernacle in the sun, and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his bedroom. He has exulted like a giant running along the way;
7 απ' ακρου του ουρανου η εξοδος αυτου και το καταντημα αυτου εως ακρου του ουρανου και ουκ εστιν ος αποκρυβησεται την θερμην αυτου	7 his departure is from the summit of heaven. And his course reaches all the way to its summit. Neither is there anyone who can hide himself from his heat.
8 ο νομος του κυριου αμωμος επιστρεφων ψυχας η μαρτυρια κυριου πιστη σοφιζουσα νηπια	8 The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, providing wisdom to little ones.
9 τα δικαιωματα κυριου ευθεια ευφραινοντα καρδιαν η εντολη κυριου τηλαυγης φωτιζουσα οφθαλμους	9 The justice of the Lord is right, rejoicing hearts. The precepts of the Lord are brilliant, enlightening the eyes.
10 ο φοβος κυριου αγνος διαμενων εις αιωνα αιωνος τα κριματα κυριου αληθινα δεδικαιωμενα επι το αυτο	10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for all generations. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves:
11 επιθυμητα υπερ χρυσιον και λιθον τιμιον πολυν και γλυκυτερα υπερ μελι και κηριον	11 desirable beyond gold and many precious stones, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 και γαρ ο δουλος σου φυλασσει αυτα εν τω φυλασσειν αυτα ανταποδοσις πολλη	12 For, indeed, your servant keeps them, and in keeping them, there are many rewards.
13 παραπτωματα τις συνησει εκ των κρυφιων μου καθαρισον με	13 Who can understand transgression? From my hidden faults, cleanse me, O Lord,
14 και απο αλλοτριων φεισαι του δουλου σου εαν μη μου κατακυριευσωσιν τοτε αμωμος εσομαι και καθαρισθησομαι απο αμαρτιας μεγαλης	14 and from those of others, spare your servant. If they will have no dominion over me, then I will be immaculate, and I will be cleansed from the greatest transgression.
15 και εσονται εις ευδοκιαν τα λογια του στοματος μου και η μελετη της καρδιας μου ενωπιον σου δια παντος κυριε βοηθε μου και λυτρωτα μου	15 And the eloquence of my mouth will be so as to please, along with the meditation of my heart, in your sight, forever, O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
