Psalms 134
Greek Modern
1 «Ωιδή των Αναβαθμών.» Ιδού, ευλογείτε τον Κύριον, πάντες οι δούλοι του Κυρίου, οι ιστάμενοι την νύκτα εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου.
2 Υψώσατε τας χείρας σας εις τα άγια και ευλογείτε τον Κύριον.
3 Να σε ευλογήση ο Κύριος εκ Σιών, ο ποιήσας τον ουρανόν και την γην.

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").
