1 Αλληλουια.
Αἰνεῖτε, παῖδες, κύριον,
αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου·
2 εἴη τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου εὐλογημένον
ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος·
3 ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν
αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου.
4 ὑψηλὸς ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὁ κύριος,
ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ.
5 τίς ὡς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
ὁ ἐν ὑψηλοῖς κατοικῶν
6 καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορῶν
ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ;
7 ὁ ἐγείρων ἀπὸ γῆς πτωχὸν
καὶ ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἀνυψῶν πένητα
8 τοῦ καθίσαι αὐτὸν μετὰ ἀρχόντων,
μετὰ ἀρχόντων λαοῦ αὐτοῦ·
9 ὁ κατοικίζων στεῖραν ἐν οἴκῳ
μητέρα τέκνων εὐφραινομένην.
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it , and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
