Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

5:1 [[Psalm of Solomon.]] Lord God, I will praise with joy your name among those who know your righteous judgments.

5:2 For You [are] good and merciful, the shelter of the poor. When I cry out to You, do not ignore me.

5:3 For no one takes pillage from a strong man, so who is going to take [anything] from all that You have done, unless You give [it]?

5:4 For a human being and his fate [are] on the scales before You; he will not add any increase against your judgment, o God.

5:5 When we are persecuted, we call on You for help and You will not turn away from our prayer, for You are our God.

5:6 Do not weigh down your hand on us, lest we sin of necessity.

5:7 Even if You do not convert us, we will not remain distant, but will come to You.

5:8 For if I am hungry, I will cry out to You, o God, and You will give me [something].

5:9 You feed the birds and the fish. By sending rain to the wilderness so that the grass may sprout,

5:10 You provide pasture in the wilderness for every living thing, and if they are hungry, they will lift up their muzzle to You.

5:11 You feed kings and rulers and peoples, o God, and who is the hope of the poor and the needy, if not You, Lord?

5:12 You will listen, then. For who, but You, is good and kind to make the humble soul happy by opening your hand in mercy?

5:13 Human kindness [is] sparing and [comes] tomorrow, and if [it happens] a second time without complaint, you can wonder at it.

5:14 Your gift, however, is abundant, [offered] with goodness and rich, and where there is hope in You gifts will not be lacking.

5:15 Lord, your mercy is upon all the earth in goodness.

5:16 Happy is the one whom God remembers with a moderate sufficiency; for if a man is excessively rich, he sins.

5:17 Moderation is adequate- with righteousness; for in this consists the Lord's blessing: to be satisfied with righteousness.

5:18 May those who fear the Lord be happy with good things; in your kingdom your goodness [is] upon Israel.

5:19 May the glory of the Lord be praised, for He is our king.
