15 ΠΣΑΛΜΟΙ ΣΟΛΟΜΩΝΤΟΣPSALMS OF SOLOMON - Brenton|RSVReference
Ψαλμὸς τῷ Σαλωμων μετὰ ᾠδῆς.
 A Psalm. Of Solomon. With a Song. 
1Ἑν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου,
εἰς βοήθειαν ἤλπισα τοῦ θεοῦ Ιακωβ καὶ ἐσώθην·
 When I was in distress I called upon the name of the Lord,
I hoped for the help of the God of Jacob and was saved;		Psalm 15. PsSol.15.1-15
2ὅτι ἐλπὶς καὶ καταφυγὴ τῶν πτωχῶν σύ, ὁ θεός.
 For the hope and refuge of the poor art Thou, O God. 
3τίς γὰρ ἰσχύει, ὁ θεός, εἰ μὴ ἐξομολογήσασθαί σοι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ;
 For who, O God, is strong except to give thanks unto Thee in truth? 
4καὶ τί δυνατὸς ἄνθρωπος εἰ μὴ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνό ματί σου;
 And wherein is a man powerful except in giving thanks to Thy name? 
5ψαλμὸν καινὸν μετὰ ᾠδῆς ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καρδίας,
καρπὸν χειλέων ἐν ὀργάνῳ ἡρμοσμένῳ γλώσσης,
ἀπαρχὴν χειλέων ἀπὸ καρδίας ὁσίας καὶ δικαίας·
 A new psalm with song in gladness of heart,
The fruit of the lips with the well-tuned instrument of the tongue,
The firstfruits of the lips from a pious and righteous heart -		 
6ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα οὐ σαλευθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπὸ κακοῦ,
φλὸξ πυρὸς καὶ ὀργὴ ἀδίκων οὐχ ἅψεται αὐτοῦ·
 He that offereth these things shall never be shaken by evil;
The flame of fire and the wrath against the unrighteous shall not touch him,		 
7ὅταν ἐξέλθῃ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου,
ὀλεθρεῦσαι πᾶσαν ὑπόστασιν ἁμαρτωλῶν.
 When it goeth forth from the face of the Lord against sinners,
To destroy all the substance of sinners,		 
8ὅτι τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ δικαίους εἰς σωτηρίαν·
Λιμὸς καὶ ῥομφαία καὶ θάνατος ἀπὸ δικαίων μακράν.
 For the mark of God is upon the righteous that they may be saved.
Famine and sword and pestilence [shall be] far from the righteous,		 
9φεύξονται γὰρ ὡς διωκόμενοι πολέμου ἀπὸ ὁσίων,
καταδιώξονται δὲ ἁμαρτωλοὺς καὶ καταλήμψονται·
καὶ οὐκ ἐκφεύξονται οἱ ποιοῦντες ἀνομίαν τὸ κρίμα Κυρίου,
ὡς ὑπὸ πολεμίων ἐμπείρων καταλημφθήσονται,
 For they shall flee away from the pious as men pursued in war;
But they shall pursue sinners and overtake [them],
And they that do lawlessness shall not escape the judgment of God;
As by enemies experienced [in war] shall they be overtaken,		 
10ὡς ὑπὸ πολεμίων ἐμπείρων καταληθήσονται.
τὸ γὰρ σημεῖον τῆς ἀπωλείας ἐπὶ τοῦ μετώπου αὐτῶν,
 For the mark of destruction is upon their forehead. 
11καὶ ἡ κληρονομία τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν ἀπώλεια καὶ σκότος,
καὶ αἱ ἀνομίαι αὐτῶν διώξονται αὐτοὺς ἕως ᾅδου κάτω.
 And the inheritance of sinners is destruction and darkness,
And their iniquities shall pursue them unto Sheol beneath.		 
12ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῶν οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν,
 Their inheritance shall not be found of their children, 
13αἱ γὰρ ἁμαρτίαι ἐξερημώσουσιν οἴκους ἁμαρτωλῶν·
καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,
 For sins shall lay waste the houses of sinners.
And sinners shall perish for ever in the day of the Lord's judgment,		 
14ὅταν ἐπισκέπτηται ὁ θεὸς τὴν γῆν ἐν κρίματι αὐτοῦ·
 When God visiteth the earth with His judgment. 
15οἱ δὲ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον ἐλεηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ,
καὶ ζήσονται ἐν τῇ ἐλεημοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν·
καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπολοῦνται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον.
 But they that fear the Lord shall find mercy therein,
And shall live by the compassion of their God;
But sinners shall perish for ever.		 
    << | Psalms of Solomon: 15 | >>  

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.
