< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
αλληλουια αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου αἰνεῖτε δοῦλοι κύριον
2 who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
οἱ ἑστῶτες ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου θεοῦ ἡμῶν
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
αἰνεῖτε τὸν κύριον ὅτι ἀγαθὸς κύριος ψάλατε τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ὅτι καλόν
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
ὅτι τὸν Ιακωβ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ ὁ κύριος Ισραηλ εἰς περιουσιασμὸν αὐτοῦ
5 I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
ὅτι ἐγὼ ἔγνων ὅτι μέγας κύριος καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν παρὰ πάντας τοὺς θεούς
6 The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
πάντα ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ὁ κύριος ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐν ταῖς θαλάσσαις καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀβύσσοις
7 He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
ἀνάγων νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ ἐξάγων ἀνέμους ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
ὃς ἐπάταξεν τὰ πρωτότοκα Αἰγύπτου ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους
9 He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
ἐξαπέστειλεν σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν μέσῳ σου Αἴγυπτε ἐν Φαραω καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ
10 He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
ὃς ἐπάταξεν ἔθνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν βασιλεῖς κραταιούς
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
τὸν Σηων βασιλέα τῶν Αμορραίων καὶ τὸν Ωγ βασιλέα τῆς Βασαν καὶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας Χανααν
12 He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
καὶ ἔδωκεν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν κληρονομίαν κληρονομίαν Ισραηλ λαῷ αὐτοῦ
13 Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
κύριε τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κύριε τὸ μνημόσυνόν σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν
14 The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
ὅτι κρινεῖ κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ παρακληθήσεται
15 The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων
16 They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
στόμα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται
17 They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
ὦτα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ἐνωτισθήσονται ῥῖνας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται χεῖρας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσιν πόδας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν οὐδὲ γάρ ἐστιν πνεῦμα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν
18 Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς
19 People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
οἶκος Ισραηλ εὐλογήσατε τὸν κύριον οἶκος Ααρων εὐλογήσατε τὸν κύριον
20 Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
οἶκος Λευι εὐλογήσατε τὸν κύριον οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον εὐλογήσατε τὸν κύριον
21 Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
εὐλογητὸς κύριος ἐκ Σιων ὁ κατοικῶν Ιερουσαλημ
