Ψαλμοί
Psalm 135 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.
1 Ἀλληλούΐα. ΑΙΝΕΙΤΕ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, αἰνεῖτε, δοῦλοι, Κύριον,
(135) Alleluia. Praise you⌃ the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you⌃ his] servants,
2 οἱ ἑστῶτες ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον, ὅτι ἀγαθὸς Κύριος· ψάλατε τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, ὅτι καλόν·
Praise you⌃ the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
4 ὅτι τὸν Ἰακὼβ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ ὁ Κύριος, Ἰσραὴλ εἰς περιουσιασμὸν ἑαυτῷ.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 ὅτι ἐγὼ ἔγνωκα ὅτι μέγας ὁ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν παρὰ πάντας τοὺς θεούς.
For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;
6 πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ὁ Κύριος ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἐν ταῖς θαλάσσαις καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀβύσσοις·
all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.
7 ἀνάγων νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς, ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησεν· ὁ ἐξάγων ἀνέμους ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ,
Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
8 ὃς ἐπάταξε τὰ πρωτότοκα Αἰγύπτου ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 ἐξαπέστειλε σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν μέσῳ σου, Αἴγυπτε, ἐν Φαραὼ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ.
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.
10 ὃς ἐπάταξεν ἔθνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀπέκτεινε βασιλεῖς κραταιούς.
Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;
11 τὸν Σηὼν βασιλέα τῶν Ἀμορραίων καὶ τὸν Ὢγ βασιλέα τῆς Βασὰν καὶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας Χαναάν,
Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
12 καὶ ἔδωκε τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν κληρονομίαν, κληρονομίαν Ἰσραὴλ λαῷ αὐτοῦ.
and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 Κύριε, τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνόν σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν.
O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.
14 ὅτι κρινεῖ Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ παρακληθήσεται.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
15 τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων·
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
16 στόμα ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν, ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται,
They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;
17 ὦτα ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ἐνωτισθήσονται, οὐδὲ γάρ ἐστι πνεῦμα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν.
they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
18 ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.
Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
