Psalm 114

1 Ἀλληλούϊα. ΗΓΑΠΗΣΑ, ὅτι εἰσακούσεται Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου,

1 (116) Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication. (verse 1 in Brenton's English)

2 ὅτι ἔκλινε τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι.

2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

3 περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου, κίνδυνοι ᾅδου εὕροσάν με· θλῖψιν καὶ ὀδύνην εὗρον,

3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

4 καὶ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην· ὦ Κύριε, ρῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

5 ἐλεήμων ὁ Κύριος καὶ δίκαιος, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεεῖ.

5 The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

6 φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ Κύριος· ἐταπεινώθην, καὶ ἔσωσέ με.

6 The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

7 ἐπίστρεψον, ψυχή μου, εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, ὅτι Κύριος εὐηργέτησέ σε,

7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

8 ὅτι ἐξείλετο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος.

8 For he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

9 εὐαρεστήσω ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων.

9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living. (115) Alleluia. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)
