< Psalms 33 >
1 A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.
τῷ Δαυιδ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε δίκαιοι ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ τοῖς εὐθέσι πρέπει αἴνεσις
2 Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ
3 Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
ᾄσατε αὐτῷ ᾆσμα καινόν καλῶς ψάλατε ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ
4 For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.
ὅτι εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει
5 He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν τοῦ ἐλέους κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν καὶ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν
7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
συνάγων ὡς ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
φοβηθήτω τὸν κύριον πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ δὲ σαλευθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην
9 For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν
10 The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν καὶ ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων
11 But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει λογισμοὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος οὗ ἐστιν κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ λαός ὃν ἐξελέξατο εἰς κληρονομίαν ἑαυτῷ
13 The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.
ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ κύριος εἶδεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
14 From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν
15 He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
ὁ πλάσας κατὰ μόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ὁ συνιεὶς εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν
16 The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
οὐ σῴζεται βασιλεὺς διὰ πολλὴν δύναμιν καὶ γίγας οὐ σωθήσεται ἐν πλήθει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ
17 Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
ψευδὴς ἵππος εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐν δὲ πλήθει δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται
18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.
ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
19 To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
ῥύσασθαι ἐκ θανάτου τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομένει τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς ἡμῶν ἐστιν
21 For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.
ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐφρανθήσεται ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ ἠλπίσαμεν
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
γένοιτο τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καθάπερ ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ σέ
