Δόξα τω Θεώ

This is the phrase in Ancient Greek, still being used today.
For example, in this song by Mikis Theodorakis and Iakovos Kampanelis:
http://www.greekmidi.com/songs/theodorakis/doxatotheo.html

The exact Modern Greek translation would be: "Δόξα στο Θεό".

However, I would go for the Ancient Greek translation.

Peer comment(s):

agree kaydee : in caps it would be: ΔΟΞΑ ΤΩΙ ΘΕΩΙ (ένα λάθος λόγω σχετικής υπερβολής στο αλκοόλ, και η εγγραφη στάλθηκε κατά το ήμισυ :-)).

Ευχαριστώ πολύ. :-)//Whatever! :-)
agree Nick Lingris : Even in modern Greek, "doxa to theo" is used more often than "doxa sto theo". And what is found in liturgical texts is "Doxa soi o Theos" (Δόξα σοι, ο Θεός) (Glory to You, O Lord). // Θα περίμενα να δω οτιδήποτε σε τατουάζ.

Absolutely right. Though I wouldn't expect "Glogy to You, O Lord" on a tattoo, would you?//Aκόμα κι εσένα σε ζωγραφιά; :Ρ
