It is good to read it every day.

Of course this is just a religious and historical text and has nothing to do with the days we live in. It is only for the study and execution of our Religious duties.

WHY did the mighty man cry out in wickedness all the day long?

Αδικίαν ἐλογίσατο ἡ γλῶσσά σου · ὡσεὶ ξυρὸν ἠκονημένον ἐποίησας δόλον.

Ηγάπησας κακίαν ὑπὲρ ἀγαθωσύνην, ἀδικίαν ὑπὲρ τὸ λαλῆσαι δικαιοσύνην. (chant).

You have always loved the verbs of swallowing, spoken deceitfully.

Διὰ τοῦτο ὁ Θεὸς καθέλοι σε εἰς τέλος ἐκτίλαι σε καὶ μεταναστεύσαι σε ἀπὸ σκηνώματός σου καὶ τὸ ρίζωμά σου ἐκ γῆς ζώντων. (chant).

Όψονται δίκαιοι καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν γελάσονται καὶ ἐροῦσιν ·

Behold a man who did not set God as his helper, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and was strengthened by his vanity.

Egὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ ἐλαία κατάκαρπος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

Εξομολογήσομαί σοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἐποίησας, καὶ ὑπομενῶ τὸ .νομά σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν ἐναντίον τῶν ὁσίων σου.
