1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
1 Αλληλουια· Αγγαιου καὶ Ζαχαριου.
Αἰνεῖτε τὸν κύριον, ὅτι ἀγαθὸν ψαλμός·
τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ἡδυνθείη αἴνεσις.
2 οἰκοδομῶν Ιερουσαλημ ὁ κύριος
καὶ τὰς διασπορὰς τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐπισυνάξει,
3 ὁ ἰώμενος τοὺς συντετριμμένους τὴν καρδίαν
καὶ δεσμεύων τὰ συντρίμματα αὐτῶν,
4 ὁ ἀριθμῶν πλήθη ἄστρων,
καὶ πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα καλῶν.
5 μέγας ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, καὶ μεγάλη ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ,
καὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός.
6 ἀναλαμβάνων πραεῖς ὁ κύριος,
ταπεινῶν δὲ ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἕως τῆς γῆς.
7 ἐξάρξατε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν ἐξομολογήσει,
ψάλατε τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ἐν κιθάρᾳ,
8 τῷ περιβάλλοντι τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐν νεφέλαις,
τῷ ἑτοιμάζοντι τῇ γῇ ὑετόν,
τῷ ἐξανατέλλοντι ἐν ὄρεσι χόρτον
καὶ χλόην τῇ δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων,
9 διδόντι τοῖς κτήνεσι τροφὴν αὐτῶν
καὶ τοῖς νεοσσοῖς τῶν κοράκων τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτόν.
10 οὐκ ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ τοῦ ἵππου θελήσει
οὐδὲ ἐν ταῖς κνήμαις τοῦ ἀνδρὸς εὐδοκεῖ·
11 εὐδοκεῖ κύριος ἐν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτὸν
καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐλπίζουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
