| 2 | πλεονακις επολεμησαν με εκ νεοτητος μου και γαρ ουκ ηδυνηθησαν μοι Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. |
| 3 | επι του νωτου μου ετεκταινον οι αμαρτωλοι εμακρυναν την ανομιαν αυτων The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. |
| 4 | κυριος δικαιος συνεκοψεν αυχενας αμαρτωλων The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
| 5 | αισχυνθητωσαν και αποστραφητωσαν εις τα οπισω παντες οι μισουντες σιων Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
| 6 | γενηθητωσαν ως χορτος δωματων ος προ του εκσπασθηναι εξηρανθη Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up: |
| 7 | ου ουκ επληρωσεν την χειρα αυτου ο θεριζων και τον κολπον αυτου ο τα δραγματα συλλεγων Wherewith the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom. |
| 8 | και ουκ ειπαν οι παραγοντες ευλογια κυριου εφ υμας ευλογηκαμεν υμας εν ονοματι κυριου Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
