1ωδη των αναβαθμων εκ βαθεων εκεκραξα ϲε κε 2κε ειϲακουϲον τηϲ φωνηϲ μου γενηθητω τα ωτα ϲου προϲεχοντα ειϲ την φωνην τηϲ δεηϲεωϲ μου 3εαν ανομιαϲ παρατηρηϲη κε κε τιϲ υποϲτηϲητε 4οτι παρα ϲοι ο ειλαϲμοϲ εϲτιν 5ενεκεν του ονοματοϲ ϲου υπεμεινα κε ϋπεμινεν η ψυχη μου ειϲ τον νομον αυτου
1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6ηλπιϲεν η ψυχη μου επι τον κν απο φυλακηϲ πρωϊαϲ μεχρι νυκτοϲ 7οτι παρα τω κω το ελεοϲ και πολλη παρ αυτω λυτρωϲιϲ 8και αυτοϲ λυτρωϲεται τον ιϲλ εκ παϲω των ανομιων αυτου
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
