| Vers | English: King James Version | Greek OT: LXX [A] Accented |
| 1 | We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. | εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων τοῖς υἱοῖς κορε εἰς σύνεσιν ᾠδὴ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ |
| 2 | How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. | ἐξηρεύξατο ἡ καρδία μου λόγον ἀγαθόν λέγω ἐγὼ τὰ ἔργα μου τῷ βασιλεῖ ἡ γλῶσσά μου κάλαμος γραμματέως ὀξυγράφου |
| 3 | For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. | ὡραῖος κάλλει παρὰ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐξεχύθη χάρις ἐν χείλεσίν σου διὰ τοῦτο εὐλόγησέν σε ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα |
| 4 | Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. | περίζωσαι τὴν ῥομφαίαν σου ἐπὶ τὸν μηρόν σου δυνατέ τῇ ὡραιότητί σου καὶ τῷ κάλλει σου |
| 5 | Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. | καὶ ἔντεινον καὶ κατευοδοῦ καὶ βασίλευε ἕνεκεν ἀληθείας καὶ πραΰτητος καὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ ὁδηγήσει σε θαυμαστῶς ἡ δεξιά σου |
| 6 | For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. | τὰ βέλη σου ἠκονημένα δυνατέ λαοὶ ὑποκάτω σου πεσοῦνται ἐν καρδίᾳ τῶν ἐχθρῶν τοῦ βασιλέως |
| 7 | But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. | ὁ θρόνος σου ὁ θεός εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος ῥάβδος εὐθύτητος ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου |
| 8 | In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. | ἠγάπησας δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐμίσησας ἀνομίαν διὰ τοῦτο ἔχρισέν σε ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός σου ἔλαιον ἀγαλλιάσεως παρὰ τοὺς μετόχους σου |
| 9 | But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. | σμύρνα καὶ στακτὴ καὶ κασία ἀπὸ τῶν ἱματίων σου ἀπὸ βάρεων ἐλεφαντίνων ἐξ ὧν ηὔφρανάν σε |
| 10 | Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. | θυγατέρες βασιλέων ἐν τῇ τιμῇ σου παρέστη ἡ βασίλισσα ἐκ δεξιῶν σου ἐν ἱματισμῷ διαχρύσῳ περιβεβλημένη πεποικιλμένη |
| 11 | Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. | ἄκουσον θύγατερ καὶ ἰδὲ καὶ κλῖνον τὸ οὖς σου καὶ ἐπιλάθου τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου |
| 12 | Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. | ὅτι ἐπεθύμησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ κάλλους σου ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ κύριός σου |
| 13 | Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. | καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ θυγατέρες τύρου ἐν δώροις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου λιτανεύσουσιν οἱ πλούσιοι τοῦ λαοῦ |
| 14 | Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. | πᾶσα ἡ δόξα αὐτῆς θυγατρὸς βασιλέως ἔσωθεν ἐν κροσσωτοῖς χρυσοῖς περιβεβλημένη πεποικιλμένη |
| 15 | My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, | ἀπενεχθήσονται τῷ βασιλεῖ παρθένοι ὀπίσω αὐτῆς αἱ πλησίον αὐτῆς ἀπενεχθήσονταί σοι |
| 16 | For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. | ἀπενεχθήσονται ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἀγαλλιάσει ἀχθήσονται εἰς ναὸν βασιλέως |
| 17 | All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. | ἀντὶ τῶν πατέρων σου ἐγενήθησάν σοι υἱοί καταστήσεις αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν |
| 18 | Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; | μνησθήσονται τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ἐν πάσῃ γενεᾷ καὶ γενεᾷ διὰ τοῦτο λαοὶ ἐξομολογήσονταί σοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος |
| 19 | Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. | |
| 20 | If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; | |
| 21 | Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. | |
| 22 | Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. | |
| 23 | Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. | |
| 24 | Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? | |
| 25 | For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. | |
| 26 | Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
