Here is something I find extremely cool. This is a Greek Orthodox chant of Psalm 134 from the Septuagint. I love the rhythm and what a great way to learn Koine Greek pronunciation:
http://www.youtube.com/user/GreekOrthodox#p/search/0/vEBFXCU 4gqA This is the text (althought note that᾿Αλληλούια is chanted after every verse): Δοῦλοι, Κύριον, ᾿Αλληλούια. ΑΙΝΕΙΤΕ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, αἰνεῖτε, δοῦλοι, Κύριον, 2 οἱ ἑστῶτες ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. 3 αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον, ὅτι ἀγαθὸς Κύριος· ψάλατε τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, ὅτι καλόν· 4 ὅτι τὸν ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ ὁ Κύριος, ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς περιουσιασμὸν ἑαυτῷ. 5 ὅτι ἐγὼ ἔγνωκα ὅτι μέγας ὁ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν παρὰ πάντας τοὺς θεούς. 6 πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ὁ Κύριος ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἐν ταῖς θαλάσσαις καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀβύσσοις· 7 ἀνάγων νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς, ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησεν· ὁ ἐξάγων ἀνέμους ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ, 8 ὃς ἐπάταξε τὰ πρωτότοκα Αἰγύπτου ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους. 9 ἐξαπέστειλε σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν μέσῳ σου, Αἴγυπτε, ἐν Φαραὼ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ. 10 ὃς ἐπάταξεν ἔθνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀπέκτεινε βασιλεῖς κραταιούς. 11 τὸν Σηὼν βασιλέα τῶν ᾿Αμορραίων καὶ τὸν ῍Ωγ βασιλέα τῆς Βασὰν καὶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας Χαναάν, 12 καὶ ἔδωκε τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν κληρονομίαν, κληρονομίαν ᾿Ισραὴλ λαῷ αὐτοῦ. 13 Κύριε, τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ τὸ μνημόσυνόν σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν. 14 ὅτι κρινεῖ Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ παρακληθήσεται. 15 τὰ εἴδωλα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων· 16 στόμα ἔχουσι καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν, ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται, 17 ὦτα ἔχουσι καὶ οὐκ ἐνωτισθήσονται, οὐδὲ γάρ ἐστι πνεῦμα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν. 18 ὅμοιοι αὐτοῖς γένοιντο οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς. 19 οἶκος ᾿Ισραήλ, εὐλογήσατε τὸν Κύριον· οἶκος ᾿Ααρών, εὐλογήσατε τὸν Κύριον. 20 οἶκος Λευΐ, εὐλογήσατε τὸν Κύριον· οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον, εὐλογήσατε τὸν Κύριον, 21 εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ἐκ Σιών, ὁ κατοικῶν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
