LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ψαλμος τω ασαφ ο θεος ηλθοσαν εθνη εις την κληρονομιαν σου εμιαναν τον ναον τον αγιον σου εθεντο ιερουσαλημ εις οπωροφυλακιον	1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.
2 εθεντο τα θνησιμαια των δουλων σου βρωματα τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου τας σαρκας των οσιων σου τοις θηριοις της γης	2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.
3 εξεχεαν το αιμα αυτων ως υδωρ κυκλω ιερουσαλημ και ουκ ην ο θαπτων	3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.
4 εγενηθημεν ονειδος τοις γειτοσιν ημων μυκτηρισμος και χλευασμος τοις κυκλω ημων	4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.
5 εως ποτε κυριε οργισθηση εις τελος εκκαυθησεται ως πυρ ο ζηλος σου	5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?
6 εκχεον την οργην σου επι εθνη τα μη γινωσκοντα σε και επι βασιλειας αι το ονομα σου ουκ επεκαλεσαντο	6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
7 οτι κατεφαγον τον ιακωβ και τον τοπον αυτου ηρημωσαν	7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.
8 μη μνησθης ημων ανομιων αρχαιων ταχυ προκαταλαβετωσαν ημας οι οικτιρμοι σου οτι επτωχευσαμεν σφοδρα	8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.
9 βοηθησον ημιν ο θεος ο σωτηρ ημων ενεκα της δοξης του ονοματος σου κυριε ρυσαι ημας και ιλασθητι ταις αμαρτιαις ημων ενεκα του ονοματος σου	9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.
10 μηποτε ειπωσιν τα εθνη που εστιν ο θεος αυτων και γνωσθητω εν τοις εθνεσιν ενωπιον των οφθαλμων ημων η εκδικησις του αιματος των δουλων σου του εκκεχυμενου	10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:
11 εισελθατω ενωπιον σου ο στεναγμος των πεπεδημενων κατα την μεγαλωσυνην του βραχιονος σου περιποιησαι τους υιους των τεθανατωμενων	11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.
12 αποδος τοις γειτοσιν ημων επταπλασιονα εις τον κολπον αυτων τον ονειδισμον αυτων ον ωνειδισαν σε κυριε	12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.
13 ημεις δε λαος σου και προβατα της νομης σου ανθομολογησομεθα σοι εις τον αιωνα εις γενεαν και γενεαν εξαγγελουμεν την αινεσιν σου	13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
