Текст песни Monks of Simono Petra Monastery - Psalm 135

ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι χρηστός ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
εἰπάτωσαν οἱ λελυτρω­μέ­νοι ὑπὸ κυρίου οὓς ἐλυτρώσατο ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ
ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν συν­ήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἀπο­̀ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν καὶ βορρᾶ καὶ θαλάσ­σης
ἐπλανήθησαν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν ἀνύδρῳ ὁδὸν πόλεως κατοικητηρίου οὐχ εὗρον
πεινῶν­τες καὶ διψῶν­τες ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐξέλιπεν
καὶ ἐκέκραξαν προ­̀ς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἐρρύσατο αὐτοὺς
καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ὁδὸν εὐθεῖαν τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς πόλιν κατοικητηρίου
ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
ὅτι ἐχόρτασεν ψυχὴν κενὴν καὶ ψυχὴν πεινῶσαν ἐνέπλη­σεν ἀγαθῶν
καθη­μέ­νους ἐν σκότει καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου πεπεδη­μέ­νους ἐν πτωχείᾳ καὶ σιδήρῳ
ὅτι παρεπίκραναν τὰ λόγια τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ ὑψίστου παρώξυν­αν
καὶ ἐταπεινώθη ἐν κόποις ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ἠσθένησαν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν
καὶ ἐκέκραξαν προ­̀ς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς
καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ σκότους καὶ σκιᾶς θανάτου καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν διέρρηξεν
ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
ὅτι συν­έτριψεν πύλας χαλκᾶς καὶ μοχλοὺς σιδηροῦς συν­έκλασεν
ἀν­τελάβετο αὐτῶν ἐξ ὁδοῦ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν δια­̀ γὰρ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐταπεινώθησαν
πᾶν βρῶμα ἐβδελύξατο ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν καὶ ἤγγισαν ἕως τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου
καὶ ἐκέκραξαν προ­̀ς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἔσωσεν αὐτούς
ἀπέστειλεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰάσατο αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐρρύσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν δια­φθορῶν αὐτῶν
ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
καὶ θυσάτωσαν θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐξαγγειλάτωσαν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει
οἱ κατα­βαίνον­τες εἰς τὴν θάλασ­σαν ἐν πλοίοις ποι­οῦν­τες ἐργασίαν ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς
αὐτοὶ εἴδοσαν τὰ ἔργα κυρίου καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ βυθῷ
εἶπεν καὶ ἔστη πνεῦμα κατα­ιγίδος καὶ ὑψώθη τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς
ἀναβαίνουσιν ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ κατα­βαίνουσιν ἕως τῶν ἀβύσ­σων ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἐν κακοῖς ἐτήκετο
ἐταράχθησαν ἐσαλεύ­θησαν ὡς ὁ μεθύων καὶ πᾶσα ἡ σοφία αὐτῶν κατεπόθη
καὶ ἐκέκραξαν προ­̀ς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς
καὶ ἐπέταξεν τῇ κατα­ιγίδι καὶ ἔστη εἰς αὔραν καὶ ἐσίγησαν τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς
καὶ εὐφράνθησαν ὅτι ἡσύχασαν καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐπι­̀ λιμένα θελήμα­τος αὐτῶν
ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων
ὑψωσάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ λαοῦ καὶ ἐν καθέδρᾳ πρεσβυτέρων αἰνεσάτωσαν αὐτόν
ἔθετο ποταμοὺς εἰς ἔρημον καὶ διεξόδους ὑδάτων εἰς δίψαν
γῆν καρποφόρον εἰς ἅλμην ἀπο­̀ κακίας τῶν κατοικούν­των ἐν αὐτῇ
ἔθετο ἔρημον εἰς λίμνας ὑδάτων καὶ γῆν ἄνυδρον εἰς διεξόδους ὑδάτων
καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ πεινῶν­τας καὶ συν­εστήσαν­το πόλιν κατοικεσίας
καὶ ἔσπειραν ἀγροὺς καὶ ἐφύτευσαν ἀμπελῶνας καὶ ἐποίησαν καρπὸν γενήμα­τος
καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς καὶ ἐπλη­θύνθησαν σφόδρα καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐσμίκρυνεν
καὶ ὠλιγώθησαν καὶ ἐκακώθησαν ἀπο­̀ θλίψεως κακῶν καὶ ὀδύνης
ἐξεχύθη ἐξουδένωσις ἐπ᾿ ἄρχον­τας καὶ ἐπλάνησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀβάτῳ καὶ οὐχ ὁδῷ
