< Ψαλμοί 33 >
1 τῷ Δαυιδ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε δίκαιοι ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ τοῖς εὐθέσι πρέπει αἴνεσις
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
2 ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ
Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
3 ᾄσατε αὐτῷ ᾆσμα καινόν καλῶς ψάλατε ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ
Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
4 ὅτι εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει
For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
5 ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν τοῦ ἐλέους κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ
He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6 τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν καὶ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7 συνάγων ὡς ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 φοβηθήτω τὸν κύριον πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ δὲ σαλευθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν
For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
10 κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν καὶ ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει λογισμοὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12 μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος οὗ ἐστιν κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ λαός ὃν ἐξελέξατο εἰς κληρονομίαν ἑαυτῷ
Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
13 ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ κύριος εἶδεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν
From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 ὁ πλάσας κατὰ μόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ὁ συνιεὶς εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν
He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
16 οὐ σῴζεται βασιλεὺς διὰ πολλὴν δύναμιν καὶ γίγας οὐ σωθήσεται ἐν πλήθει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ
A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 ψευδὴς ἵππος εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐν δὲ πλήθει δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται
A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
18 ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
19 ῥύσασθαι ἐκ θανάτου τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομένει τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς ἡμῶν ἐστιν
Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐφρανθήσεται ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ ἠλπίσαμεν
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 γένοιτο τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καθάπερ ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ σέ
Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
