Psalm 113

1 Ἀλληλούϊα. ΕΝ ΕΞΟΔ† Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οἴκου Ἰακὼβ ἐκ λαοῦ βαρβάρου,

1 (114) Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 ἐγενήθη Ἰουδαία ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, Ἰσραὴλ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ.

2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 ἡ θάλασσα εἶδε καὶ ἔφυγεν, ὁ Ἰορδάνης ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω·

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 τὰ ὄρη ἐσκίρτησαν ὡσεὶ κριοὶ καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

5 τί σοί ἐστι, θάλασσα, ὅτι ἔφυγες, καὶ σύ, Ἰορδάνη, ὅτι ἐστράφης εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω;

5 What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 τὰ ὄρη, ὅτι ἐσκιρτήσατε ὡσεὶ κριοί, καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων;

6 [You⌃] mountains, that you⌃ skipped like rams, and [you⌃] hills, like lambs?

7 ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰακὼβ

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 τοῦ στρέψαντος τὴν πέτραν εἰς λίμνας ὑδάτων καὶ τὴν ἀκρότομον εἰς πηγὰς ὑδάτων.

8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

9 μὴ ἡμῖν, Κύριε, μὴ ἡμῖν, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ ὀνόματί σου δὸς δόξαν, ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου,

9 (115) Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth; (verse 1 in Brenton's English)

10 μήποτε εἴπωσι τὰ ἔθνη· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν;

10 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God? (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

11 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν, ἐποίησε.

11 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

12 τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων·

12 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

13 στόμα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν, ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται,

13 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see: (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

14 ὦτα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσονται, ρῖνας ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται,

14 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell; (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

15 χεῖρας ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσι, πόδας ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν, οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν.

15 they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

16 ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.

16 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

17 οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

17 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

18 οἶκος Ἀαρὼν ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

18 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

19 οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

19 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

20 Κύριος μνησθεὶς ἡμῶν εὐλόγησεν ἡμᾶς, εὐλόγησε τὸν οἶκον Ἰσραήλ, εὐλόγησε τὸν οἶκον Ἀαρών,

20 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)

21 εὐλόγησε τοὺς φοβουμένους τὸν Κύριον, τοὺς μικροὺς μετὰ τῶν μεγάλων.

21 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great. (verse 13 in Brenton's English)

22 προσθείη Κύριος ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν.

22 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children. (verse 14 in Brenton's English)

23 εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.

23 Blessed are you⌃ of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth. (verse 15 in Brenton's English)

24 ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ, τὴν δὲ γῆν ἔδωκε τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

24 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men. (verse 16 in Brenton's English)

25 οὐχ οἱ νεκροὶ αἰνέσουσί σε, Κύριε, οὐδὲ πάντες οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς ᾅδου,

25 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades. (verse 17 in Brenton's English)

26 ἀλλ᾿ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εὐλογήσομεν τὸν Κύριον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.

26 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever. (verse 18 in Brenton's English)
