14 ΠΣΑΛΜΟΙ ΣΟΛΟΜΩΝΤΟΣPSALMS OF SOLOMON - Brenton|RSVReference
Ὕμνος τῷ Σαλωμων.
 A Hymn. Of Solomon. 
1Πιστὸς Κύριος τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτὸν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ,
τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν παιδείαν αὐτοῦ,
τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ προσταγμάτων αὐτοῦ,
ἐν νόμῳ, ᾧ ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν εἰς ζωὴν ἡμῶν.
 Faithful is the Lord to them that love Him in truth,
To them that endure His chastening,
To them that walk in the righteousness of His commandments,
In the law which He commanded us that we might live.		Psalm 14. PsSol.14.1-6
2ὅσιοι κυρίου ζήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα·
ὁ παράδεισος τοῦ κυρίου, τὰ ξύλα τῆς ζωῆς, ὅσιοι αὐτοῦ.
 The pious of the Lord shall live by it for ever;
The Paradise of the Lord, the trees of life, are His pious ones.		 
3ἡ φυτεία αὐτῶν ἐρριζωμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα·
οὐκ ἐκτιλήσονται πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
ὅτι ἡ μερὶς καὶ κληρονομία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν Ισραηλ.
 Their planting is rooted for ever;
They shall not be plucked up all the days of heaven:
For the portion and the inheritance of God is Israel.		 
4καὶ οὐχ οὕτως οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ καὶ παράνομοι,
οἳ ἠγάπησαν ἡμέραν ἐν μετοχῇ ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν·
ἐν μικρότητι σαπρίας ἡ ἐπιθυμία αὐτῶν,
 But not so are the sinners and transgressors,
Who love [the brief] day [spent] in companionship with their sin;
Their delight is in fleeting corruption,		 
5καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθησαν τοῦ θεοῦ.
ὅτι ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων γνωσταὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ διὰ παντός,
καὶ ταμίεια καρδίας ἐπίσταται πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι.
 And they remember not God.
For the ways of men are known before Him at all times,
And He knoweth the secrets of the heart before they come to pass.		 
6διὰ τοῦτο ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν ᾅδης καὶ σκότος καὶ ἀπώλεια,
καὶ οὐχ εὑρεθήσονται ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐλέους δικαίων·
οἱ δὲ ὅσιοι Κυρίου κληρονομήσουσιν ζωὴν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
 Therefore their inheritance is Sheol and darkness and destruction,
And they shall not be found in the day when the righteous obtain mercy;		 
    << | Psalms of Solomon: 14 | >>  

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.
