1 Αἴνεσις τῷ Δαυιδ.
Ὑψώσω σε, ὁ θεός μου ὁ βασιλεύς μου,
καὶ εὐλογήσω τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
2 καθ᾽ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν εὐλογήσω σε
καὶ αἰνέσω τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
3 μέγας κύριος καὶ αἰνετὸς σφόδρα,
καὶ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν πέρας.
4 γενεὰ καὶ γενεὰ ἐπαινέσει τὰ ἔργα σου
καὶ τὴν δύναμίν σου ἀπαγγελοῦσιν.
5 τὴν μεγαλοπρέπειαν τῆς δόξης τῆς ἁγιωσύνης σου λαλήσουσιν
καὶ τὰ θαυμάσιά σου διηγήσονται.
6 καὶ τὴν δύναμιν τῶν φοβερῶν σου ἐροῦσιν
καὶ τὴν μεγαλωσύνην σου διηγήσονται.
7 μνήμην τοῦ πλήθους τῆς χρηστότητός σου ἐξερεύξονται
καὶ τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ἀγαλλιάσονται.
8 οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος,
μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος.
9 χρηστὸς κύριος τοῖς σύμπασιν,
καὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.
10 ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι, κύριε, πάντα τὰ ἔργα σου,
καὶ οἱ ὅσιοί σου εὐλογησάτωσάν σε.
11 δόξαν τῆς βασιλείας σου ἐροῦσιν
καὶ τὴν δυναστείαν σου λαλήσουσιν
12 τοῦ γνωρίσαι τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὴν δυναστείαν σου
καὶ τὴν δόξαν τῆς μεγαλοπρεπείας τῆς βασιλείας σου.
13 ἡ βασιλεία σου βασιλεία πάντων τῶν αἰώνων,
καὶ ἡ δεσποτεία σου ἐν πάσῃ γενεᾷ καὶ γενεᾷ.
13a πιστὸς κύριος ἐν τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ
καὶ ὅσιος ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ.
14 ὑποστηρίζει κύριος πάντας τοὺς καταπίπτοντας
καὶ ἀνορθοῖ πάντας τοὺς κατερραγμένους.
15 οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ πάντων εἰς σὲ ἐλπίζουσιν,
καὶ σὺ δίδως τὴν τροφὴν αὐτῶν ἐν εὐκαιρίᾳ.
16 ἀνοίγεις σὺ τὴν χεῖρά σου
καὶ ἐμπιπλᾷς πᾶν ζῷον εὐδοκίας.
17 δίκαιος κύριος ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ
καὶ ὅσιος ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ.
18 ἐγγὺς κύριος πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτόν,
πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτὸν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ.
19 θέλημα τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν ποιήσει
καὶ τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν ἐπακούσεται καὶ σώσει αὐτούς.
20 φυλάσσει κύριος πάντας τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτὸν
καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἐξολεθρεύσει.
21 αἴνεσιν κυρίου λαλήσει τὸ στόμα μου,
καὶ εὐλογείτω πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
A Psalm of David.
1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea , happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
