Greek Septuagint

1 Ἀλληλούϊα. Ἠγαπήσα, ὅτι εἰσακούσεται Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου·

2 Ὅτι ἔκλινε τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοὶ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι.

3 Περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου, κίνδυνοι ᾅδου εὕροσάν με· θλίψιν καὶ ὀδύνην εὗρον,

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

5 Ἐλεήμων ὁ Κύριος καὶ δίκαιος, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεεῖ.

6 Φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ Κύριος, ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέ με.

7 Ἐπίστρεψον ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, ὅτι Κύριος εὐηργέτησέ σε.

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

9 Εὐαρεστήσω ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων.

Brenton English

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

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

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

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

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

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

infants.

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

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

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