Psalm 113 [MT 114–115]
[Alleluia.] At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΕΝ ΕΞΟΔῼ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οἴκου ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκ λαοῦ βαρβάρου,
Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
ἐγενήθη ᾿Ιουδαία ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ.
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
ἡ θάλασσα εἶδε καὶ ἔφυγεν, ὁ ᾿Ιορδάνης ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω·
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
τὰ ὄρη ἐσκίρτησαν ὡσεὶ κριοὶ καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων.
What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
τί σοί ἐστι, θάλασσα, ὅτι ἔφυγες, καὶ σύ, ᾿Ιορδάνη, ὅτι ἐστράφης εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω;
[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?
τὰ ὄρη, ὅτι ἐσκιρτήσατε ὡσεὶ κριοί, καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων;
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ᾿Ιακὼβ
who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
τοῦ στρέψαντος τὴν πέτραν εἰς λίμνας ὑδάτων καὶ τὴν ἀκρότομον εἰς πηγὰς ὑδάτων.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
μὴ ἡμῖν, Κύριε, μὴ ἡμῖν, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ ὀνόματί σου δὸς δόξαν, ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου,
lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
μήποτε εἴπωσι τὰ ἔθνη· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν;
But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.
ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν, ἐποίησε.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων·
They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:
στόμα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν, ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται,
they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;
ὦτα ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσονται, ῥῖνας ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται,
they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
χεῖρας ἔχουσι, καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσι, πόδας ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν, οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν.
Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς.
The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.
The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
οἶκος ᾿Ααρὼν ἤλπισεν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον ἤλπισαν ἐπὶ Κύριον· βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.
The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
Κύριος μνησθεὶς ἡμῶν εὐλόγησεν ἡμᾶς, εὐλόγησε τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ισραήλ, εὐλόγησε τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ααρών,
He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
εὐλόγησε τοὺς φοβουμένους τὸν Κύριον, τοὺς μικροὺς μετὰ τῶν μεγάλων.
The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
προσθείη Κύριος ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν.
Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.
The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ, τὴν δὲ γῆν ἔδωκε τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
οὐχ οἱ νεκροὶ αἰνέσουσί σε, Κύριε, οὐδὲ πάντες οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς ᾅδου,
But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
ἀλλ᾿ ἡμεῖς οἱ ζῶντες εὐλογήσομεν τὸν Κύριον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
