< Psalms 118 >
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
αλληλουια ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι ἀγαθός ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
2 Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
εἰπάτω δὴ οἶκος Ισραηλ ὅτι ἀγαθός ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
3 Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
εἰπάτω δὴ οἶκος Ααρων ὅτι ἀγαθός ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
4 Now let those who fear the LORD say that his loving kindness endures forever.
εἰπάτωσαν δὴ πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον ὅτι ἀγαθός ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
5 Out of my distress, I called on the LORD. The LORD answered me with freedom.
ἐν θλίψει ἐπεκαλεσάμην τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐπήκουσέν μου εἰς πλατυσμόν
6 The LORD is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
κύριος ἐμοὶ βοηθός οὐ φοβηθήσομαι τί ποιήσει μοι ἄνθρωπος
7 The LORD is on my side amongst those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
κύριος ἐμοὶ βοηθός κἀγὼ ἐπόψομαι τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.
ἀγαθὸν πεποιθέναι ἐπὶ κύριον ἢ πεποιθέναι ἐπ’ ἄνθρωπον
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD, than to put confidence in princes.
ἀγαθὸν ἐλπίζειν ἐπὶ κύριον ἢ ἐλπίζειν ἐπ’ ἄρχοντας
10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the LORD’s name I cut them off.
πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐκύκλωσάν με καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου ἠμυνάμην αὐτούς
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the LORD’s name I indeed cut them off.
κυκλώσαντες ἐκύκλωσάν με καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου ἠμυνάμην αὐτούς
12 They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the LORD’s name I cut them off.
ἐκύκλωσάν με ὡσεὶ μέλισσαι κηρίον καὶ ἐξεκαύθησαν ὡσεὶ πῦρ ἐν ἀκάνθαις καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου ἠμυνάμην αὐτούς
13 You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, but the LORD helped me.
ὠσθεὶς ἀνετράπην τοῦ πεσεῖν καὶ ὁ κύριος ἀντελάβετό μου
14 The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation.
ἰσχύς μου καὶ ὕμνησίς μου ὁ κύριος καὶ ἐγένετό μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
φωνὴ ἀγαλλιάσεως καὶ σωτηρίας ἐν σκηναῖς δικαίων δεξιὰ κυρίου ἐποίησεν δύναμιν
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD does valiantly!”
δεξιὰ κυρίου ὕψωσέν με δεξιὰ κυρίου ἐποίησεν δύναμιν
17 I will not die, but live, and declare the LORD’s works.
οὐκ ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀλλὰ ζήσομαι καὶ ἐκδιηγήσομαι τὰ ἔργα κυρίου
18 The LORD has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
παιδεύων ἐπαίδευσέν με ὁ κύριος καὶ τῷ θανάτῳ οὐ παρέδωκέν με
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to the LORD.
ἀνοίξατέ μοι πύλας δικαιοσύνης εἰσελθὼν ἐν αὐταῖς ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ κυρίῳ
20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous will enter into it.
αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ κυρίου δίκαιοι εἰσελεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ὅτι ἐπήκουσάς μου καὶ ἐγένου μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν
22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
λίθον ὃν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες οὗτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας
23 This is the LORD’s doing. It is marvellous in our eyes.
παρὰ κυρίου ἐγένετο αὕτη καὶ ἔστιν θαυμαστὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν
24 This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἣν ἐποίησεν ὁ κύριος ἀγαλλιασώμεθα καὶ εὐφρανθῶμεν ἐν αὐτῇ
25 Save us now, we beg you, LORD! LORD, we beg you, send prosperity now.
ὦ κύριε σῶσον δή ὦ κύριε εὐόδωσον δή
26 Blessed is he who comes in the LORD’s name! We have blessed you out of the LORD’s house.
εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐξ οἴκου κυρίου
27 The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
θεὸς κύριος καὶ ἐπέφανεν ἡμῖν συστήσασθε ἑορτὴν ἐν τοῖς πυκάζουσιν ἕως τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
θεός μου εἶ σύ καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι θεός μου εἶ σύ καὶ ὑψώσω σε ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ὅτι ἐπήκουσάς μου καὶ ἐγένου μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν
29 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι ἀγαθός ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
