Psalms 100
Greek Modern
1 «Ψαλμός δοξολογίας.» Αλαλάξατε εις τον Κύριον, πάσα η γη.
2 Δουλεύσατε εις τον Κύριον εν ευφροσύνη· έλθετε ενώπιον αυτού εν αγαλλιάσει.
3 Γνωρίσατε ότι ο Κύριος είναι ο Θεός· αυτός έκαμεν ημάς, και ουχί ημείς· ημείς είμεθα λαός αυτού και πρόβατα της βοσκής αυτού.
4 Εισέλθετε εις τας πύλας αυτού εν δοξολογία, εις τας αυλάς αυτού εν ύμνω· δοξολογείτε αυτόν· ευλογείτε το όνομα αυτού.
5 Διότι ο Κύριος είναι αγαθός· εις τον αιώνα μένει το έλεος αυτού, και έως γενεάς και γενεάς η αλήθεια αυτού.

Neophytos Vamvas's translation of the Holy Bible into modern Greek (1850)
Public Domain · Translation source
This translation started in 1831 and was published in 1850 by the Orthodox Archimandrite and professor of the National University of Athens, Neophytos Vamvas with the help of other researchers. Considering that the Greek Orthodox Church wouldn't support him, he collaborated with the British and Foreign Bible Society to publish this translation. The text is written in "kathareuousa", a form of greek that is not spoken today in Greece. It is closer to spoken greek though, than the Septuagint (also known "translation of the seventy").
