Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
1Ἀλληλούϊα· Ἀγγαίου καὶ Ζαχαρίου. Ἐπαίνει, Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὸν Κύριον, αἴνει τὸν Θεόν σου Σιών.
2Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
2Ὅτι ἐνίσχυσεν τοὺς μοχλοὺς τῶν πυλῶν σου, εὐλόγησεν τοὺς υἱούς σου ἐν σοί.
3Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
3Ὁ τιθεὶς τὰ ὅριά σου εἰρήνην, καὶ στέαρ πυροῦ ἐμπιπλῶν σε·
4Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
4Ὁ ἀποστέλλων τὸ λόγιον αὐτοῦ τῇ γῇ, ἕως τάχους δραμεῖται ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ·
5Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
5Τοῦ διδόντος χιόνα ὡσεὶ ἔριον, ὁμίχλην ὡσεὶ σποδὸν πάσσοντος·
6He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
6Βάλλοντος κρύσταλλον αὐτοῦ ὠσεὶ ψωμούς· κατὰ πρόσωπον ψύχους αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται;
7He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
7Ἀποστελεῖ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τήξει αὐτά, πνεύσει τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ῥυήσεται ὕδατα.
8Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
8Ἀπαγγέλλων τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰακώβ, δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
9He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
9Οὐκ ἐποίησεν οὕτως παντὶ ἔθνει, καὶ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐδήλωσεν αὐτοῖς.
