Church Slavonic text

Хвалите имя Господне,
хвалите раби Господа,
Аллилуиа.
Благословен Господь от Сиона
живый во Иерусалиме,
Аллилуиа.
Не поведайтеся Господеви, яко благ,
яко в век милость Его,
аллилуиа.
Не поведайтеся Богу небесному,
яко в век милость Его,
аллилуиа.

English translation

Praise the name of the Lord,
praise our teacher Lord.
Alleluia.
Blessed be the Lord from Zion,
those living in Jerusalem.
Alleluia
Unfathomable Lord, who is good,
whose mercy is for ever.
Alleluia.
Unfathomable God of heaven,
whose mercy is for ever.
Alleluia.
