| 1 αἶνος ᾠδῆς τῷ Δαυιδ δεῦτε ἀγαλλιασώμεθα τῷ κυρίῳ ἀλαλάξωμεν τῷ θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρι ἡμῶν 2 προφθάσωμεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐξομολογήσει καὶ ἐν ψαλμοῖς ἀλαλάξωμεν αὐτῷ 3 ὅτι θεὸς μέγας κύριος καὶ βασιλεὺς μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς θεούς 4 ὅτι ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰ ὕψη τῶν ὀρέων αὐτοῦ εἰσιν 5 ὅτι αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ θάλασσα καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν αὐτήν καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἔπλασαν 6 δεῦτε προσκυνήσωμεν καὶ προσπέσωμεν αὐτῷ καὶ κλαύσωμεν ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ ποιήσαντος ἡμᾶς 7 ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἡμεῖς λαὸς νομῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ πρόβατα χειρὸς αὐτοῦ σήμερον ἐὰν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούσητε |
1 Come, friends, rejoice we in the Lord’s honour; cry we out merrily to God, our strength and deliverer; 2 with praises court his presence, singing a joyful psalm! 3 A high God is the Lord, a king high above all the gods;[1] 4 beneath his hand lie the depths of earth, his are the mountain peaks; 5 his the ocean, for who but he created it? What other power fashioned the dry land? 6 Come in, then, fall we down in worship, bowing the knee before God who made us. 7 Who but the Lord is our God? And what are we, but folk of his pasturing, sheep that follow his beckoning hand? |
1 Venite, exsultemus Domino; jubilemus Deo salutari nostro; 2 præoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione, et in psalmis jubilemus ei: 3 quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et rex magnus super omnes deos. 4 Quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitudines montium ipsius sunt; 5 quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et siccam manus ejus formaverunt. 6 Venite, adoremus, et procidamus, et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos: 7 quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, et nos populus pascuæ ejus, et oves manus ejus. |
