LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ψαλμος τω δαυιδ οτε αυτον ο υιος καταδιωκει κυριε εισακουσον της προσευχης μου ενωτισαι την δεησιν μου εν τη αληθεια σου επακουσον μου εν τη δικαιοσυνη σου	1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
2 και μη εισελθης εις κρισιν μετα του δουλου σου οτι ου δικαιωθησεται ενωπιον σου πας ζων	2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
3 οτι κατεδιωξεν ο εχθρος την ψυχην μου εταπεινωσεν εις γην την ζωην μου εκαθισεν με εν σκοτεινοις ως νεκρους αιωνος	3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
4 και ηκηδιασεν επ' εμε το πνευμα μου εν εμοι εταραχθη η καρδια μου	4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
5 εμνησθην ημερων αρχαιων και εμελετησα εν πασι τοις εργοις σου εν ποιημασιν των χειρων σου εμελετων	5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
6 διεπετασα τας χειρας μου προς σε η ψυχη μου ως γη ανυδρος σοι διαψαλμα	6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7 ταχυ εισακουσον μου κυριε εξελιπεν το πνευμα μου μη αποστρεψης το προσωπον σου απ' εμου και ομοιωθησομαι τοις καταβαινουσιν εις λακκον	7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
8 ακουστον ποιησον μοι το πρωι το ελεος σου οτι επι σοι ηλπισα γνωρισον μοι κυριε οδον εν η πορευσομαι οτι προς σε ηρα την ψυχην μου	8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
9 εξελου με εκ των εχθρων μου κυριε οτι προς σε κατεφυγον	9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
10 διδαξον με του ποιειν το θελημα σου οτι συ ει ο θεος μου το πνευμα σου το αγαθον οδηγησει με εν γη ευθεια	10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
11 ενεκα του ονοματος σου κυριε ζησεις με εν τη δικαιοσυνη σου εξαξεις εκ θλιψεως την ψυχην μου	11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
12 και εν τω ελεει σου εξολεθρευσεις τους εχθρους μου και απολεις παντας τους θλιβοντας την ψυχην μου οτι δουλος σου ειμι εγω	12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
