A Song of degrees.
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
1 Ὠιδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν.
Εὐφράνθην ἐπὶ τοῖς εἰρηκόσιν μοι
Εἰς οἶκον κυρίου πορευσόμεθα.
2 ἑστῶτες ἦσαν οἱ πόδες ἡμῶν
ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς σου, Ιερουσαλημ.
3 Ιερουσαλημ οἰκοδομουμένη ὡς πόλις
ἧς ἡ μετοχὴ αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
4 ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἀνέβησαν αἱ φυλαί,
φυλαὶ κυρίου μαρτύριον τῷ Ισραηλ
τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου·
5 ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐκάθισαν θρόνοι εἰς κρίσιν,
θρόνοι ἐπὶ οἶκον Δαυιδ.
6 ἐρωτήσατε δὴ τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην τὴν Ιερουσαλημ,
καὶ εὐθηνία τοῖς ἀγαπῶσίν σε·
7 γενέσθω δὴ εἰρήνη ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου
καὶ εὐθηνία ἐν ταῖς πυργοβάρεσίν σου.
8 ἕνεκα τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου καὶ τῶν πλησίον μου
ἐλάλουν δὴ εἰρήνην περὶ σοῦ·
9 ἕνεκα τοῦ οἴκου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν
ἐξεζήτησα ἀγαθά σοι.
