LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 τω δαυιδ συνεσεως μακαριοι ων αφεθησαν αι ανομιαι και ων επεκαλυφθησαν αι αμαρτιαι	1 The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.
2 μακαριος ανηρ ου ου μη λογισηται κυριος αμαρτιαν ουδε εστιν εν τω στοματι αυτου δολος	2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 οτι εσιγησα επαλαιωθη τα οστα μου απο του κραζειν με ολην την ημεραν	3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.
4 οτι ημερας και νυκτος εβαρυνθη επ' εμε η χειρ σου εστραφην εις ταλαιπωριαν εν τω εμπαγηναι ακανθαν διαψαλμα	4 For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
5 την αμαρτιαν μου εγνωρισα και την ανομιαν μου ουκ εκαλυψα ειπα εξαγορευσω κατ' εμου την ανομιαν μου τω κυριω και συ αφηκας την ασεβειαν της αμαρτιας μου διαψαλμα	5 I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
6 υπερ ταυτης προσευξεται πας οσιος προς σε εν καιρω ευθετω πλην εν κατακλυσμω υδατων πολλων προς αυτον ουκ εγγιουσιν	6 For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
7 συ μου ει καταφυγη απο θλιψεως της περιεχουσης με το αγαλλιαμα μου λυτρωσαι με απο των κυκλωσαντων με διαψαλμα	7 You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
8 συνετιω σε και συμβιβω σε εν οδω ταυτη η πορευση επιστηριω επι σε τους οφθαλμους μου	8 I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
9 μη γινεσθε ως ιππος και ημιονος οις ουκ εστιν συνεσις εν χαλινω και κημω τας σιαγονας αυτων αγξαι των μη εγγιζοντων προς σε	9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
10 πολλαι αι μαστιγες του αμαρτωλου τον δε ελπιζοντα επι κυριον ελεος κυκλωσει	10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
11 ευφρανθητε επι κυριον και αγαλλιασθε δικαιοι και καυχασθε παντες οι ευθεις τη καρδια	11 Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.
