< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.
αλληλουια αἰνεῖτε παῖδες κύριον αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου
2 Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
εἴη τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου εὐλογημένον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος
3 From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.
ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.
ὑψηλὸς ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ
5 Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,
τίς ὡς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν ὑψηλοῖς κατοικῶν
6 and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?
καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ
7 He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,
ὁ ἐγείρων ἀπὸ γῆς πτωχὸν καὶ ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἀνυψῶν πένητα
8 so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.
τοῦ καθίσαι αὐτὸν μετὰ ἀρχόντων μετὰ ἀρχόντων λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
9 He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
ὁ κατοικίζων στεῖραν ἐν οἴκῳ μητέρα τέκνων εὐφραινομένην
