LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 προσευχη του δαυιδ εισακουσον κυριε της δικαιοσυνης μου προσχες τη δεησει μου ενωτισαι της προσευχης μου ουκ εν χειλεσιν δολιοις	1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2 εκ προσωπου σου το κριμα μου εξελθοι οι οφθαλμοι μου ιδετωσαν ευθυτητας	2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
3 εδοκιμασας την καρδιαν μου επεσκεψω νυκτος επυρωσας με και ουχ ευρεθη εν εμοι αδικια	3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
4 οπως αν μη λαληση το στομα μου τα εργα των ανθρωπων δια τους λογους των χειλεων σου εγω εφυλαξα οδους σκληρας	4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
5 καταρτισαι τα διαβηματα μου εν ταις τριβοις σου ινα μη σαλευθωσιν τα διαβηματα μου	5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
6 εγω εκεκραξα οτι επηκουσας μου ο θεος κλινον το ους σου εμοι και εισακουσον των ρηματων μου	6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
7 θαυμαστωσον τα ελεη σου ο σωζων τους ελπιζοντας επι σε εκ των ανθεστηκοτων τη δεξια σου	7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
8 φυλαξον με ως κοραν οφθαλμου εν σκεπη των πτερυγων σου σκεπασεις με	8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
9 απο προσωπου ασεβων των ταλαιπωρησαντων με οι εχθροι μου την ψυχην μου περιεσχον	9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
10 το στεαρ αυτων συνεκλεισαν το στομα αυτων ελαλησεν υπερηφανιαν	10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
11 εκβαλλοντες με νυνι περιεκυκλωσαν με τους οφθαλμους αυτων εθεντο εκκλιναι εν τη γη	11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
12 υπελαβον με ωσει λεων ετοιμος εις θηραν και ωσει σκυμνος οικων εν αποκρυφοις	12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
13 αναστηθι κυριε προφθασον αυτους και υποσκελισον αυτους ρυσαι την ψυχην μου απο ασεβους ρομφαιαν σου απο εχθρων της χειρος σου	13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
14 κυριε απο ολιγων απο γης διαμερισον αυτους εν τη ζωη αυτων και των κεκρυμμενων σου επλησθη η γαστηρ αυτων εχορτασθησαν υιων και αφηκαν τα καταλοιπα τοις νηπιοις αυτων	14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
15 εγω δε εν δικαιοσυνη οφθησομαι τω προσωπω σου χορτασθησομαι εν τω οφθηναι την δοξαν σου	15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
