A Psalm of instruction by David. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ, ра́зꙋма, л҃а҃.

²

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.

¹

Бл҃же́ни, и҆́хже ѡ҆ста́вишасѧ беззакѡ́нїѧ, и҆ и҆́хже прикры́шасѧ грѣсѝ.

³

Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.

²

Бл҃же́нъ мꙋ́жъ, є҆мꙋ́же не вмѣни́тъ гдⷭ҇ь грѣха̀, нижѐ є҆́сть во оу҆стѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ ле́сть.

⁴

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in me. Pause.

³

Ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆молча́хъ, ѡ҆бетша́ша кѡ́сти моѧ̑, ѿ є҆́же зва́ти мѝ ве́сь де́нь,

⁵

I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.

⁴

ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь и҆ но́щь ѡ҆тѧготѣ̀ на мнѣ̀ рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀: возврати́хсѧ на стра́сть, є҆гда̀ оу҆нзе́ ми те́рнъ.

⁶

Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.

⁵

Беззако́нїе моѐ позна́хъ и҆ грѣха̀ моегѡ̀ не покры́хъ, рѣ́хъ: и҆сповѣ́мъ на мѧ̀ беззако́нїе моѐ гдⷭ҇еви: и҆ ты̀ ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ нече́стїе се́рдца моегѡ̀.

⁷

Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.

⁶

За то̀ помо́литсѧ къ тебѣ̀ всѧ́къ прпⷣбный во вре́мѧ благопотре́бно: ѻ҆ба́че въ пото́пѣ во́дъ мно́гихъ къ немꙋ̀ не прибли́жатсѧ.

⁸

I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.

⁷

Ты̀ є҆сѝ прибѣ́жище моѐ ѿ ско́рби ѡ҆бдержа́щїѧ мѧ̀: ра́досте моѧ̀, и҆зба́ви мѧ̀ ѿ ѡ҆быше́дшихъ мѧ̀.

⁹

Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding: but thou must constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.

⁸

Вразꙋмлю́ тѧ, и҆ наста́влю тѧ̀ на пꙋ́ть се́й, въ ѻ҆́ньже по́йдеши: оу҆твержꙋ̀ на тѧ̀ ѻ҆́чи моѝ.

¹⁰

Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.

⁹

Не бꙋ́дите ꙗ҆́кѡ ко́нь и҆ ме́скъ, и҆̀мже нѣ́сть ра́зꙋма: брозда́ми и҆ оу҆здо́ю чє́люсти и҆́хъ востѧ́гнеши, не приближа́ющихсѧ къ тебѣ̀.

¹¹

Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.

¹⁰

Мнѡ́ги ра̑ны грѣ́шномꙋ: оу҆пова́ющаго же на гдⷭ҇а млⷭ҇ть ѡ҆бы́детъ.
