| Douay-Rheims | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me. | Ὀλέκομαι πνεύματι φερόμενος, δέομαι δὲ ταφῆς, καὶ οὐ τυγχάνω. |
| 2 | I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness. | Λίσσομαι κάμνων, καὶ τί ποιήσας; |
| 3 | Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me. | ἔκλεψαν δέ μου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ἀλλότριοι. Τίς ἐστιν οὕτος; τῇ χειρί μου συνδεθήτω. |
| 4 | Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted. | Ὅτι καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἔκρυψας ἀπὸ φρονήσεως, διὰ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ ὑψώσῃς αὐτούς. |
| 5 | He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail. | Τῇ μερίδι ἀναγγελεῖ κακίας· ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ ἐφʼ υἱοῖς ἐτάκησαν. |
| 6 | He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them. | Ἔθου δέ με θρύλλημα ἐν ἔθνεσι, γέλως δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀπέβην. |
| 7 | My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing. | Πεπώρωνται γὰρ ἀπὸ ὀργῆς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, πεπολιόρκημαι μεγάλως ὑπὸ πάντων. |
| 8 | The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite. | Θαῦμα ἔσχεν ἀληθινοὺς ἐπὶ τούτῳ, δίκαιος δὲ ἐπὶ παρανόμῳ ἐπανασταίη. |
| 9 | And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. | Σχοίη δὲ πιστὸς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδὸν, καθαρὸς δὲ χεῖρας ἀναλάβοι θάρσος. |
| 10 | Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man. | Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ πάντες ἐρείδετε καὶ δεῦτε δὴ, οὐ γὰρ εὑρίσκω ἐν ὑμῖν ἀληθές. |
| 11 | My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart. | Αἱ ἡμέραι μου παρῆλθον ἐν βρόμῳ, ἐῤῥάγη δὲ τὰ ἄρθρα τῆς καρδίας μου. |
| 12 | They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again. | Νύκτα εἰς ἡμέραν ἔθηκα, φῶς ἐγγὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σκότους. |
| 13 | If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness. | Ἐὰν γὰρ ὑπομείνω, ᾅδης μου ὁ οἶκος, ἐν δὲ γνοφῳ ἔστρωταί μου ἡ στρωμνή. |
| 14 | If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister. | Θάνατον ἐπεκαλεσάμην πατέρα μου εἶναι, μητέρα δέ μου καὶ ἀδελφὴν σαπρίαν. |
| 15 | Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience? | Ποῦ οὖν μου ἔτι ἐστὶν ἡ ἐλπὶς, ἢ τὰ ἀγαθά μου ὄψομαι; |
| 16 | All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest? | Ἢ μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς ᾅδην καταβήσονται; ἢ ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπὶ χώματος καταβησόμεθα; |
