12 ΠΣΑΛΜΟΙ ΣΟΛΟΜΩΝΤΟΣPSALMS OF SOLOMON - Brenton|RSVReference
Τῷ Σαλωμων· ἐν γλώσσῃ παρανόμων.
 Of Solomon. Against the tongue of transgressors. 
1Κύριε, ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς παρανόμου καὶ πονηροῦ,
ἀπὸ γλώσσης παρανόμου καὶ ψιθύρου καὶ λαλούσης ψευδῆ καὶ δόλια·
 O Lord, deliver my soul from [the] lawless and wicked man,
From the tongue that is lawless and slanderous, and speaketh lies and deceit.		Psalm 12. PsSol.12.1-8
2ἐν ποικιλίᾳ στροφῆς οἱ λόγοι τῆς γλώσσης ἀνδρὸς πονηροῦ.
ὥσπερ ἐν λαῷ πῦρ ἀνάπτον καλλονὴν αὐτοῦ.
 Manifoldly twisted are the words of the tongue of the wicked man,
Even as among a people a fire that burneth up their beauty.		 
3ἡ παροικία αὐτοῦ ἐμπρῆσαι οἴκους ἐν γλώσσῃ ψευδεῖ,
ἐκκόψαι δένδρα εὐφροσύνης φλογιζούσης παρανόμους,
 So he delights to fill houses with a lying tongue,
To cut down the trees of gladness which setteth on fire transgressors,		 
4συγχέαι οἴκους ἐν πολέμῳ χείλεσιν ψιθύροις.
μακρύναι ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ ἀκάκων χείλη παρανόμων ἐν ἀπορίᾳ,
καὶ σκορπισθείησαν ὀστᾶ ψιθύρων ἀπὸ φοβουμένων Κύριον·
 To involve households in warfare by means of slanderous lips.
May God remove far from the innocent the lips of transgressors by [bringing them to] want
And may the bones of slanderers be scattered [far] away from them that fear the Lord!		 
5ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς γλῶσσα ψίθυρος ἀπόλοιτο ἀπὸ ὁσίων.
 In flaming fire perish the slanderous tongue [far] away from the pious! 
6καὶ φυλάξαι Κύριος ψυχὴν ἡσύχιον μισοῦσαν ἀδίκους, καὶ κατευθύναι κύριος ἄνδρα ποιοῦντα εἰρήνην ἐν οἴκῳ.
 May the Lord preserve the quiet soul that hateth the unrighteous;
And may the Lord establish the man that followeth peace at home.		 
7τοῦ κυρίου ἡ σωτηρία ἐπὶ Ισραηλ παῖδα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα·
 The salvation of the Lord be upon Israel His servant for ever; 
8καὶ ἀπόλοιντο οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου ἅπαξ,
καὶ ὅσιοι Κυρίου κληρονομήσαισαν ἐπαγγελίας Κυρίου.
 And let the sinners perish together at the presence of the Lord;
But let the Lord's pious ones inherit the promises of the Lord.		 
    << | Psalms of Solomon: 12 | >>  

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.
