Psalm 115
Ψαλμοί
Psalm 116 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.
1 Ἀλληλούϊα. ΕΠΙΣΤΕΥΣΑ, διὸ ἐλάλησα· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα.
I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)
2 ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου· πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης.
And I said in my amazement, Every man is a liar. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)
3 τί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ Κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων, ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι;
What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me? (verse 12 in Brenton's English)
4 ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήψομαι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. (verse 13 in Brenton's English)
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people. (Brenton's 115:14, which the Greek of this edition does not have)
5 τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
This verse is not in Brenton's English, which follows another reading of the Greek.
6 τίμιος ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. (verse 15 in Brenton's English)
7 ὦ Κύριε, ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός, ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου. διέρρηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου,
O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst my bonds asunder. (verse 16 in Brenton's English)
8 σοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord. (verse 17 in Brenton's English)
9 τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ,
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people, (verse 18 in Brenton's English)
10 ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου ἐν μέσῳ σου, Ἱερουσαλήμ.
in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. (verse 19 in Brenton's English)
