Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
1Ἀλληλούϊα· Ἀγγαίου καὶ Ζαχαρίου. ΕΠΑΙΝΕΙ, Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὸν Κύριον, αἴνει τὸν Θεόν σου, Σιών,
2The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
2ὅτι ἐνίσχυσε τοὺς μοχλοὺς τῶν πυλῶν σου, εὐλόγησε τοὺς υἱούς σου ἐν σοί·
3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
3ὁ τιθεὶς τὰ ὅριά σου εἰρήνην καὶ στέαρ πυροῦ ἐμπιπλῶν σε·
4He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
4ὁ ἀποστέλλων τὸ λόγιον αὐτοῦ τῇ γῇ, ἕως τάχους δραμεῖται ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ·
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
5διδόντος χιόνα αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἔριον, ὁμίχλην ὡσεὶ σποδὸν πάσσοντος·
6The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
6βάλλοντος κρύσταλλον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ψωμούς, κατὰ πρόσωπον ψύχους αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται;
7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
7ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ καὶ τήξει αὐτά· πνεύσει τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ρυήσεται ὕδατα.
8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
8ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰακώβ, δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
9He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
9οὐκ ἐποίησεν οὕτως παντὶ ἔθνει καὶ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐδήλωσεν αὐτοῖς.
10He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
