< Ψαλμοί 103 >
1 τῷ Δαυιδ εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον καί πάντα τὰ ἐντός μου τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
2 εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον καὶ μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου πάσας τὰς ἀνταποδόσεις αὐτοῦ
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
3 τὸν εὐιλατεύοντα πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου τὸν ἰώμενον πάσας τὰς νόσους σου
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4 τὸν λυτρούμενον ἐκ φθορᾶς τὴν ζωήν σου τὸν στεφανοῦντά σε ἐν ἐλέει καὶ οἰκτιρμοῖς
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 τὸν ἐμπιπλῶντα ἐν ἀγαθοῖς τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν σου ἀνακαινισθήσεται ὡς ἀετοῦ ἡ νεότης σου
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
6 ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνας ὁ κύριος καὶ κρίμα πᾶσι τοῖς ἀδικουμένοις
The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
7 ἐγνώρισεν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ τῷ Μωυσῇ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ τὰ θελήματα αὐτοῦ
He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.
8 οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος
The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 οὐκ εἰς τέλος ὀργισθήσεται οὐδὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μηνιεῖ
He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
10 οὐ κατὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰς ἀνομίας ἡμῶν ἀνταπέδωκεν ἡμῖν
He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 ὅτι κατὰ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἐκραταίωσεν κύριος τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν
For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
12 καθ’ ὅσον ἀπέχουσιν ἀνατολαὶ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν ἐμάκρυνεν ἀφ’ ἡμῶν τὰς ἀνομίας ἡμῶν
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
13 καθὼς οἰκτίρει πατὴρ υἱούς οἰκτίρησεν κύριος τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν
As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:
14 ὅτι αὐτὸς ἔγνω τὸ πλάσμα ἡμῶν μνήσθητι ὅτι χοῦς ἐσμεν
For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:
15 ἄνθρωπος ὡσεὶ χόρτος αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἄνθος τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὕτως ἐξανθήσει
Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
16 ὅτι πνεῦμα διῆλθεν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει καὶ οὐκ ἐπιγνώσεται ἔτι τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ
For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.
17 τὸ δὲ ἔλεος τοῦ κυρίου ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ υἱοὺς υἱῶν
But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,
18 τοῖς φυλάσσουσιν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ μεμνημένοις τῶν ἐντολῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτάς
To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.
19 κύριος ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἡτοίμασεν τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ πάντων δεσπόζει
The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 εὐλογεῖτε τὸν κύριον πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ δυνατοὶ ἰσχύι ποιοῦντες τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ
Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
21 εὐλογεῖτε τὸν κύριον πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ λειτουργοὶ αὐτοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
22 εὐλογεῖτε τὸν κύριον πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ τῆς δεσποτείας αὐτοῦ εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον
Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
