LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 εις το τελος εν υμνοις συνεσεως τω δαυιδ	1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,
2 εν τω ελθειν τους ζιφαιους και ειπειν τω σαουλ ουκ ιδου δαυιδ κεκρυπται παρ' ημιν	2 when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?”
3 ο θεος εν τω ονοματι σου σωσον με και εν τη δυναμει σου κρινον με	3 Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.
4 ο θεος εισακουσον της προσευχης μου ενωτισαι τα ρηματα του στοματος μου	4 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
5 οτι αλλοτριοι επανεστησαν επ' εμε και κραταιοι εζητησαν την ψυχην μου ου προεθεντο τον θεον ενωπιον αυτων διαψαλμα	5 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.
6 ιδου γαρ ο θεος βοηθει μοι και ο κυριος αντιλημπτωρ της ψυχης μου	6 For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
7 αποστρεψει τα κακα τοις εχθροις μου εν τη αληθεια σου εξολεθρευσον αυτους	7 Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.
8 εκουσιως θυσω σοι εξομολογησομαι τω ονοματι σου κυριε οτι αγαθον	8 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.
9 οτι εκ πασης θλιψεως ερρυσω με και εν τοις εχθροις μου επειδεν ο οφθαλμος μου	9 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
