1 Αλληλουια.
Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον,
ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ θελήσει σφόδρα·
2 δυνατὸν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ,
γενεὰ εὐθείων εὐλογηθήσεται·
3 δόξα καὶ πλοῦτος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
4 ἐξανέτειλεν ἐν σκότει φῶς τοῖς εὐθέσιν
ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων καὶ δίκαιος.
5 χρηστὸς ἀνὴρ ὁ οἰκτίρων καὶ κιχρῶν,
οἰκονομήσει τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ ἐν κρίσει·
6 ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐ σαλευθήσεται,
εἰς μνημόσυνον αἰώνιον ἔσται δίκαιος.
7 ἀπὸ ἀκοῆς πονηρᾶς οὐ φοβηθήσεται·
ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐλπίζειν ἐπὶ κύριον.
8 ἐστήρικται ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇ,
ἕως οὗ ἐπίδῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ
9 ἐσκόρπισεν, ἔδωκεν τοῖς πένησιν·
ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος,
τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ ὑψωθήσεται ἐν δόξῃ.
10 ἁμαρτωλὸς ὄψεται καὶ ὀργισθήσεται,
τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτοῦ βρύξει καὶ τακήσεται·
ἐπιθυμία ἁμαρτωλῶν ἀπολεῖται.
1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
