The Bible Psalms Psalm 112

Psalm 112

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 113 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 Ἀλληλούϊα. ΑΙΝΕΙΤΕ, παῖδες, Κύριον, αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου·

(113) Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you⌃ servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 εἴη τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου εὐλογημένον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν αἰνετὸν τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου.

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 ὑψηλὸς ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὁ Κύριος, ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 τίς ὡς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν; ὁ ἐν ὑψηλοῖς κατοικῶν

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ,

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 ὁ ἐγείρων ἀπὸ γῆς πτωχὸν καὶ ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἀνυψῶν πένητα

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 τοῦ καθίσαι αὐτὸν μετὰ ἀρχόντων, μετὰ ἀρχόντων λαοῦ αὐτοῦ·

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

9 ὁ κατοικίζων στεῖραν ἐν οἴκῳ, μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις εὐφραινομένην.

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
