Psalm 146 [MT 147:1-11]
[Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aegis and Zacharias.] Praise ye the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
᾿Αλληλούϊα· ᾿Αγγαίου καὶ Ζαχαρίου. - ΑΙΝΕΙΤΕ τὸν Κύριον, ὅτι ἀγαθὸν ψαλμός· τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ἡδυνθείη αἴνεσις.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
οἰκοδομῶν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὁ Κύριος, καὶ τὰς διασπορὰς τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπισυνάξει,
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
ὁ ἰώμενος τοὺς συντετριμμένους τὴν καρδίαν καὶ δεσμεύων τὰ συντρίμματα αὐτῶν,
He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
ὁ ἀριθμῶν πλήθη ἄστρων, καὶ πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα καλῶν.
Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
μέγας ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν, καὶ μεγάλη ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός.
The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
ἀναλαμβάνων πρᾳεῖς ὁ Κύριος, ταπεινῶν δὲ ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἕως τῆς γῆς.
Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
ἐξάρξατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν ἐξομολογήσει, ψάλατε τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ἐν κιθάρᾳ
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men;]]
τῷ περιβάλλοντι τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐν νεφέλαις, τῷ ἑτοιμάζοντι τῇ γῇ ὑετόν, τῷ ἐξανατέλλοντι ἐν ὄρεσι χόρτον καὶ χλόην τῇ δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων,
and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
διδόντι τοῖς κτήνεσι τροφὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς νεοσσοῖς τῶν κοράκων τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτόν.
He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
οὐκ ἐν τῇ δυναστείᾳ τοῦ ἵππου θελήσει, οὐδὲ ἐν ταῖς κνήμαις τοῦ ἀνδρὸς εὐδοκεῖ·
The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
εὐδοκεῖ Κύριος ἐν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐλπίζουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
