Ψαλμοί 33
1 τῷ Δαυιδ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε δίκαιοι ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ τοῖς εὐθέσι πρέπει αἴνεσις
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ
Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 ᾄσατε αὐτῷ ᾆσμα καινόν καλῶς ψάλατε ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ
Sing to him a new song. Play skilfully with a shout of joy!
4 ὅτι εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει
For the LORD’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν τοῦ ἐλέους κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of the LORD.
6 τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν καὶ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν
By the LORD’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 συνάγων ὡς ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays 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 done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν καὶ ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes 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 stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος οὗ ἐστιν κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ λαός ὃν ἐξελέξατο εἰς κληρονομίαν ἑαυτῷ
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ κύριος εἶδεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14 ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 ὁ πλάσας κατὰ μόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ὁ συνιεὶς εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν
he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16 οὐ σῴζεται βασιλεὺς διὰ πολλὴν δύναμιν καὶ γίγας οὐ σωθήσεται ἐν πλήθει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. 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 does he deliver any by his great power.
18 ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 ῥύσασθαι ἐκ θανάτου τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομένει τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς ἡμῶν ἐστιν
Our soul has 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 our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 γένοιτο τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καθάπερ ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ σέ
Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
