Psalm 1

1 Ἐβόησα 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 attacked.
2 ἐξάπινα ἠκούσθη κραυγὴ πολέμου ἐνώπιόν μου· εἶπα ἐπακούσεταί μου, ὅτι ἐπλήσθην δικαιοσύνης. Suddenly the alarm of war was heard before me; I said, He will listen to me for I am full of righteousness.
3 ἐλογισάμην 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 prospered and had become rich in children.
4 ὁ 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.
5 ὑψώθησαν ἕως τῶν ἄστρων, εἶπαν οὐ μὴ πέσωσιν· They were exalted unto the stars; they said they would never fall.
6 καὶ ἐξύβρισαν ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκαν. But they became insolent in their prosperity, And they did not bring,
7 αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτῶν ἐν ἀποκρύφοις, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ᾔδειν· Their sins were in secret, And even I had no knowledge of them.
8 αἱ ἀνομίαι αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὰ πρὸ αὐτῶν ἔθνη, ἀποδιδόναι τὰ ἅγια κυρίου ἐν βεβηλώσει. Their iniquities surpassed those of the nations before them; to repay the sacred things of the Lord they profane.
