Psalms 114

αλληλουια ἠγάπησα ὅτι εἰσακούσεται κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου

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

ὅτι ἔκλινεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι

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

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

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

καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην ὦ κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου

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

ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεᾷ

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

φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ κύριος ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέν με

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

ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου ὅτι κύριος εὐηργέτησέν σε

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

ὅτι ἐξείλατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος

For he has delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

εὐαρεστήσω ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων

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