Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
Ασατε αὐτῷ καὶ ψάλατε αὐτῷ. διηγήσασθε πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
Ἐπαινεῖσθε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· εὐφρανθήτω καρδία ζητούντων τὸν Κύριον.
Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
Ζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον καὶ κραταιώθητε· ζητήσατε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

ye seed of Abraam, his servants, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Σπέρμα Ἁβραὰμ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ, υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ ἐκλεκτοὶ αὐτοῦ.
He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
Αὐτὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ.
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations:
Ἐμνήσθη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαθήκης αὐτοῦ, λόγου οὗ ἐνετείλατο εἰς χιλίας γενεὰς,
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and he remembered his oath to Isaac.
ὃν διέθετο τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ τοῦ ὅρκου αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰσαάκ·
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
Καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰακὼβ εἰς πρόσταγμα, καὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον,
saying, To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
λέγων, σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν, σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν.
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
Ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖς, ὀλιγοστοὺς καὶ παροίκους ἐν αὐτῇ,
And they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
καὶ διῆλθον ἐξ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος, καὶ ἐκ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον,
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνθρωπον ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἤλεγξεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς·
saying, Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
Μὴ ἅψησθε τῶν χριστῶν μου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε.
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
Καὶ ἐκάλεσε λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, πᾶν στήριγμα ἄρτου συνέτριψεν.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
Ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπον, εἰς δοῦλον ἐπράθη Ἰωσήφ.

to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
Καὶ ἐξήγαγε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ·
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
Καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς χώρας ἐθνῶν, καὶ πόνους λαῶν ἐκληρονόμησαν.
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
Ὅπως ἂν φυλάξωσι τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν νόμον αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν.
