Psalm 114 [MT 116:1-9]

[Alleluia.] I am well pleased, because the Lord will hearken to the voice of my supplication.

᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΗΓΑΠΗΣΑ, ὅτι εἰσακούσεται Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου,

Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.

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

The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow.

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

Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.

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

The Lord is merciful and righteous; yea, our God has pity.

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

The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.

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

Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.

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

For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

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

I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.

εὐαρεστήσω ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων.
