| Vers | English: King James Version | Greek OT: LXX [A] Accented |
| 1 | LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. | συνέσεως τῷ δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ προσευχή |
| 2 | Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. | φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐκέκραξα φωνῇ μου πρὸς κύριον ἐδεήθην |
| 3 | Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. | ἐκχεῶ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ τὴν δέησίν μου τὴν θλῖψίν μου ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀπαγγελῶ |
| 4 | Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. | ἐν τῷ ἐκλείπειν ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸ πνεῦμά μου καὶ σὺ ἔγνως τὰς τρίβους μου ἐν ὁδῷ ταύτῃ ᾗ ἐπορευόμην ἔκρυψαν παγίδα μοι |
| 5 | Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. | κατενόουν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ καὶ ἐπέβλεπον ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιγινώσκων με ἀπώλετο φυγὴ ἀπ' ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου |
| 6 | When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. | ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ κύριε εἶπα σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου μερίς μου ἐν γῇ ζώντων |
| 7 | Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. | πρόσχες πρὸς τὴν δέησίν μου ὅτι ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα ῥῦσαί με ἐκ τῶν καταδιωκόντων με ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ |
| 8 | But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. | ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου κύριε ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσιν δίκαιοι ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι |
| 9 | Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. | |
| 10 | Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. |
