1 ΠΣΑΛΜΟΙ ΣΟΛΟΜΩΝΤΟΣPSALMS OF SOLOMON - Brenton|RSVReference
1Ἑβόησα πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με εἰς τέλος,
πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ ἐπιθέσθαι ἁμαρτωλούς·
I cried unto the Lord when I was in distress,
Unto God when sinners assailed.
PSALMS OF SOLOMON. Psalm 1. PsSol.1.1-8
2ἐξάπινα ἠκούσθη κραυγὴ πολέμου ἐνώπιόν μου·
[εἶπα] Ἑπακούσεταί μου, ὅτι ἐπλήσθην δικαιοσύνης.
Suddenly the alarm of war was heard before me;
[I said] He will hearken to me, for I am full of righteousness.
 
3ἐλογισάμην ἐν καρδίᾳ μου ὅτι ἐπλήσθην δικαιοσύνης,
ἐν τῷ εὐθηνῆσαί με καὶ πολλὴν γενέσθαι ἐν τέκνοις.
I thought in my heart that I was full of righteousness,
Because I was well off and had become rich in children.
 
4ὁ πλοῦτος αὐτῶν διεδόθη εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν·
καὶ ἡ δόξα αὐτῶν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.
Their wealth spread to the whole earth,
And their glory unto the end of the earth.
 
5ὑψώθησαν ἕως τῶν ἄστρων·
εἶπαν Οὐ μὴ πέσωσιν·
They were exalted unto the stars;
They said they would never fall.
 
6καὶ ἐξύβρισαν ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτῶν,
καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκαν.
But they became insolent in their prosperity,
And they were without understanding,
 
7αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν ἐν ἀποκρύφοις,
καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν·
Their sins were in secret,
And even I had no knowledge [of them].
 
8αἱ ἀνομίαι αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὰ πρὸ αὐτῶν ἔθνη·
ἐβεβήλωσαν τὰ ἅγια κυρίου ἐν βεβηλώσει.
Their transgressions [went] beyond those of the heathen before them;
They utterly polluted the holy things of the Lord.

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.

Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
