 Lord, Thy mercy is over the works of Thy hands for ever;Psalm 18. PsSol.18.1-14
2ἡ χρηστότης σου μετὰ δόματος πλουσίου ἐπὶ Ισραηλ·
οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἐπιβλέποντες ἐπ' αὐτά, καὶ οὐχ ὑστερήσει ἐξ αὐτῶν·
 Thy goodness is over Israel with a rich gift.
Thine eyes look upon them, so that none of them suffers want;		 
3τὰ ὦτά σου ἐπακούει εἰς δέησιν πτωχοῦ ἐν ἐλπίδι.
τὰ κρίματά σου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν μετὰ ἐλέους,
 Thine ears listen to the hopeful prayer of the poor.
Thy judgments [are executed] upon the whole earth in mercy;		 
4καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη σου ἐπὶ σπέρμα Αβρααμ υἱοὺς Ισραηλ.
ἡ παιδεία σου ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ὡς υἱὸν πρωτότοκον μονογενῆ,
 And Thy love [is] toward the seed of Abraham, the children of Israel.
Thy chastisement is upon us as [upon] a first-born, only-begotten son,

 To turn back the obedient soul from folly [that is wrought] in ignorance.

εἰς ἡμέραν ἐκλογῆς ἐν ἀνάξει χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ.
 May God cleanse Israel against the day of mercy and blessing,
Against the day of choice when He bringeth back His anointed.

ἰδεῖν τὰ ἀγαθὰ κυρίου, ἃ ποιήσει γενεᾷ τῇ ἐρχομένῃ
 Blessed shall they be that shall be in those days,
In that they shall see the goodness of the Lord which He shall perform for the generation that is to come,		 
8ὑπὸ ῥάβδον παιδείας χριστοῦ κυρίου ἐν φόβῳ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ,
ἐν σοφίᾳ πνεύματος καὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἰσχύος
 Under the rod of chastening of the Lord's anointed in the fear of his God,
In the spirit of wisdom and righteousness and strength;

καταστῆσαι πάντας αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον κυρίου
 That he may direct [every] man in the works of righteousness by the fear of God,
That he may establish them all before the Lord,

 Great is our God and glorious, dwelling in the highest. 
12ἐν φόβῳ θεοῦ ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν,
ἀφ' ἧς ἡμέρας ἔκτισεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος·
 [It is He] who hath established in [their] courses the lights [of heaven] for determining seasons from year to year,
And they have not turned aside from the way which He appointed them		 
13ὁ διατάξας ἐν πορείᾳ φωστῆρας εἰς καιροὺς ὡρῶν ἀφ' ἡμε ρῶν εἰς ἡμέρας,
καὶ οὐ παρέβησαν ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ, ἧς ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς·
 In the fear of God [they pursue] their path every day,
From the day God created them and for evermore.		 
14καὶ οὐκ ἐπλανήθησαν ἀφ' ἧς ἡμέρας ἔκτισεν αὐτούς,
ἀπὸ γενεῶν ἀρχαίων οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ὁδῶν αὐτῶν,
εἰ μὴ ὁ θεὸς ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐπιταγῇ δούλων αὐτοῦ.
 And they have erred not since the day He created them.
Since the generations of old they have not withdrawn from their path,
Unless God commanded them [so to do] by the command of His servants.

Notes:

The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
