LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ολεκομαι πνευματι φερομενος δεομαι δε ταφης και ου τυγχανω	1 My spirit will be wasted, my days will be shortened, and only the grave will left for me.
2 λισσομαι καμνων και τι ποιησας	2 I have not sinned, yet my eye remains in bitterness.
3 εκλεψαν δε μου τα υπαρχοντα αλλοτριοι τις εστιν ουτος τη χειρι μου συνδεθητω	3 Free me, O Lord, and set me beside you, and let the hand of anyone you wish fight against me.
4 οτι καρδιαν αυτων εκρυψας απο φρονησεως δια τουτο ου μη υψωσης αυτους	4 You have set their heart far from discipline; therefore, they will not be praised.
5 τη μεριδι αναγγελει κακιας οφθαλμοι δε μου εφ' υιοις ετακησαν	5 He promises prey to his companions, but the eyes of his sons will grow faint.
6 εθου δε με θρυλημα εν εθνεσιν γελως δε αυτοις απεβην	6 He has posted me like a proverb to the people, and I am an example in their presence.
7 πεπωρωνται γαρ απο οργης οι οφθαλμοι μου πεπολιορκημαι μεγαλως υπο παντων	7 My eyesight has been clouded by indignation, and my limbs have been reduced, as if to nothing.
8 θαυμα εσχεν αληθινους επι τουτω δικαιος δε επι παρανομω επανασταιη	8 The just will be astounded over this, and the innocent will be stirred up against the hypocrite.
9 σχοιη δε πιστος την εαυτου οδον καθαρος δε χειρας αναλαβοι θαρσος	9 And the just will cling to his way, and clean hands will increase strength.
10 ου μην δε αλλα παντες ερειδετε και δευτε δη ου γαρ ευρισκω εν υμιν αληθες	10 Therefore, be converted, all of you, and approach, for I do not find in you any wisdom.
11 αι ημεραι μου παρηλθον εν βρομω ερραγη δε τα αρθρα της καρδιας μου	11 My days have passed away; my thoughts have been scattered, tormenting my heart.
12 νυκτα εις ημεραν εθηκαν φως εγγυς απο προσωπου σκοτους	12 They have turned night into day, and I hope for light again after the darkness.
13 εαν γαρ υπομεινω αδης μου ο οικος εν δε γνοφω εστρωται μου η στρωμνη	13 If I should wait, the underworld is my house, and in darkness I have spread out my bed.
14 θανατον επεκαλεσαμην πατερα μου ειναι μητερα δε μου και αδελφην σαπριαν	14 I have said to decay and to worms: “You are my father, my mother, and my sister.”
15 που ουν μου ετι εστιν η ελπις η τα αγαθα μου οψομαι	15 Therefore, where is my expectation now, and who is it that considers my patience?
16 η μετ' εμου εις αδην καταβησονται η ομοθυμαδον επι χωματος καταβησομεθα	16 Everything of mine will descend into the deepest underworld; do you think that, in that place at least, there will be rest for me?
