Psalms 144

1 Αἴνεσις τοῦ Δαυίδ. Ὑψώσω σε, ὁ Θεός μου ὁ βασιλεύς μου, καὶ εὐλογήσω τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

2 Καθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ αἰνέσω τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

3 Μέγας ὁ Κύριος καὶ αἰνετὸς σφόδρα, καὶ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστι πέρας.

4 Γενεὰ καὶ γενεὰ ἐπαινέσει τὰ ἔργα σου, καὶ τὴν δύναμίν σου ἀπαγγελοῦσι.

5 Καὶ τὴν μεγαλοπρέπειαν τῆς δόξης τῆς ἁγιωσύνης σου λαλήσουσι, καὶ τὰ θαυμάσιά σου διηγήσονται.

6 Καὶ τὴν δύναμιν τῶν φοβερῶν σου ἐροῦσι, καὶ τὴν μεγαλωσύνην σου διηγήσονται.

7 Μνήμην τοῦ πλήθους τῆς χρηστότητός σου ἐξερεύξονται, καὶ τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ἀγαλλιάσονται.

8 Οἰκτίρμων καὶ ἐλεήμων ὁ Κύριος, μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος.

9 Χρηστὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσι, καὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.

10 Ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι, Κύριε, πάντα τὰ ἔργα σου, καὶ οἱ ὅσιοί σου εὐλογησάτωσάν σε.

11 Δόξαν τῆς βασιλείας σου ἐροῦσι, καὶ τὴν δυναστείαν σου λαλήσουσιν·

12 Τοῦ γνωρίσαι τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὴν δυναστείαν σου, καὶ τὴν δόξαν τῆς μεγαλοπρεπείας τῆς βασιλείας σου.

13 Ἡ βασιλεία σου βασιλεία πάντων τῶν αἰώνων, καὶ ἡ δεσποτία σου ἐν πάσῃ γενεᾷ καὶ γενεᾷ·

13a πιστὸς Κύριος ἐν τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅσιος ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ.

14 Ὑποστηρίζει Κύριος πάντας τοὺς καταπίπτοντας, καὶ ἀνορθοῖ πάντας τοὺς κατεῤῥαγμένους.

15 Οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ πάντων εἰς σὲ ἐλπίζουσι, καὶ σὺ δίδως τὴν τροφὴν αὐτῶν ἐν εὐκαιρίᾳ.

16 Ἀνοίγεις σὺ τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ ἐμπιπλᾷς πᾶν ζῶον εὐδοκίας.

17 Δίκαιος Κύριος ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅσιος ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ.

18 Ἐγγὺς Κύριος πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτόν, πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις αὐτὸν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ.

19 Θέλημα τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν ποιήσει, καὶ τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν ἐπακούσεται, καὶ σώσει αὐτούς.

20 Φυλάσσει Κύριος πάντας τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτόν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἐξολοθρεύσει.

21 Αἴνεσιν Κυρίου λαλήσει τὸ στόμα μου, καὶ εὐλογείτω πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

1 David's Psalm of praise. I will exalt thee, my God, my king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

to the age, and to the age of the age.

2 Every day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

to the age, and to the age of the age.

3 The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end of his greatness.

4 Generation after generation shall praise thy works, and tell of thy power.

5 And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of thy holiness, and recount thy wonders.

6 And they shall speak of the power of thy terrible acts ; and recount thy greatness.

7 They shall utter the memory of the abundance of thy goodness, and shall exult in thy righteousness.

8 The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy.

9 The Lord is good to those that wait on him ; and his compassions are over all his works.

10 Let all thy works, O Lord, give thanks to thee; and let thy saints bless thee.

11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy dominion;

12 to make known to the sons of men thy power, and the glorious majesty of thy kingdom.

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures through all generations.

a kingdom of all ages.

in every generation and generation.

13a The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.

14 The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hands, and fillest every living thing with pleasure.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

18 The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.

20 The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
