Psalm 65
Ψαλμοί
Psalm 66 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.
1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ᾠδὴ ψαλμοῦ· ἀναστάσεως. ΑΛΑΛΑΞΑΤΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ,
(66) For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout to God, all the earth.
2 ψάλατε δὴ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ. δότε δόξαν αἰνέσει αὐτοῦ.
O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
3 εἴπατε τῷ Θεῷ· ὡς φοβερὰ τὰ ἔργα σου· ἐν τῷ πλήθει τῆς δυνάμεώς σου ψεύσονταί σε οἱ ἐχθροί σου.
Say to God, How awful are your works! through the greatness of your power your enemies shall lie to you.
4 πᾶσα ἡ γῆ προσκυνησάτωσάν σοι καὶ ψαλάτωσάν σοι, ψαλάτωσαν τῷ ὀνόματί σου. (διάψαλμα).
Let all the earth worship you, and sing to you; let them sing to your name. Pause.
5 δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ· φοβερὸς ἐν βουλαῖς ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων,
Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.
6 ὁ μεταστρέφων τὴν θάλασσαν εἰς ξηράν, ἐν ποταμῷ διελεύσονται ποδί. ἐκεῖ εὐφρανθησόμεθα ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ,
Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
7 τῷ δεσπόζοντι ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ αὐτοῦ τοῦ αἰῶνος. οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιβλέπουσιν, οἱ παραπικραίνοντες μὴ ὑψούσθωσαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς. (διάψαλμα).
who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. Pause.
8 εὐλογεῖτε, ἔθνη, τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ ἀκουτίσασθε τὴν φωνὴν τῆς αἰνέσεως αὐτοῦ,
Bless our God, you⌃ Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
9 τοῦ θεμένου τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ζωήν, καὶ μὴ δόντος εἰς σάλον τοὺς πόδας μου.
who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.
10 ὅτι ἐδοκίμασας ἡμᾶς, ὁ Θεός, ἐπύρωσας ἡμᾶς, ὡς πυροῦται τὸ ἀργύριον·
For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire as silver is tried.
11 εἰσήγαγες ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν παγίδα, ἔθου θλίψεις ἐπὶ τὸν νῶτον ἡμῶν.
You brought us into the snare; you laid afflictions on our back.
12 ἐπεβίβασας ἀνθρώπους ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς ἡμῶν, διήλθομεν διὰ πυρὸς καὶ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς εἰς ἀναψυχήν.
You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but you brought us out into [a place of] refreshment.
13 εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου ἐν ὁλοκαυτώμασιν, ἀποδώσω σοι τὰς εὐχάς μου,
I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,
14 ἃς διέστειλε τὰ χείλη μου καὶ ἐλάλησε τὸ στόμα μου ἐν τῇ θλίψει μου·
which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.
15 ὁλοκαυτώματα μεμυελωμένα ἀνοίσω σοι μετὰ θυμιάματος καὶ κριῶν, ἀνοίσω σοι βόας μετὰ χιμάρων. (διάψαλμα).
I will offer to you whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to you oxen with goats. Pause.
16 δεῦτε ἀκούσατε, καὶ διηγήσομαι, πάντες οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Θεόν, ὅσα ἐποίησε τῇ ψυχῇ μου.
Come, hear, and I will tell, all you⌃ that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.
17 πρὸς αὐτὸν τῷ στόματί μου ἐκέκραξα καὶ ὕψωσα ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσάν μου.
I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
18 ἀδικίαν εἰ ἐθεώρουν ἐν καρδίᾳ μου, μὴ εἰσακουσάτω μου Κύριος.
If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord listen [to me].
19 διὰ τοῦτο εἰσήκουσέ μου ὁ Θεός, προσέσχε τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
Therefore God has listened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἀπέστησε τὴν προσευχήν μου καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
