A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea.

¹

Ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ, внегда̀ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ въ пꙋсты́ни і҆ꙋде́йстѣй, ѯ҃в҃.

²

O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh longed after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

²

Бж҃е, бж҃е мо́й, къ тебѣ̀ оу҆́тренюю: возжада̀ тебѐ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀, ко́ль мно́жицею тебѣ̀ пло́ть моѧ̀, въ землѝ пꙋ́стѣ и҆ непрохо́днѣ и҆ безво́днѣ.

³

Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.

³

Та́кѡ во ст҃ѣ́мъ ꙗ҆ви́хсѧ тебѣ̀, ви́дѣти си́лꙋ твою̀ и҆ сла́вꙋ твою̀.

⁴

For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

⁴

Ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋ́чши млⷭ҇ть твоѧ̀ па́че живѡ́тъ: оу҆стнѣ̀ моѝ похвали́тѣ тѧ̀.

⁵

Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁵

Та́кѡ благословлю́ тѧ въ животѣ̀ мое́мъ и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́мени твое́мъ воздѣжꙋ̀ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ.

⁶

Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise thy name.

⁶

Ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ тꙋ́ка и҆ ма́сти да и҆спо́лнитсѧ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀, и҆ оу҆стна́ма ра́дости восхва́лѧтъ тѧ̀ оу҆ста̀ моѧ̑.

⁷

Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.

⁷

А҆́ще помина́хъ тѧ̀ на посте́ли мое́й, на оу҆́треннихъ поꙋча́хсѧ въ тѧ̀:

⁸

For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁸

ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́лъ є҆сѝ помо́щникъ мо́й, и҆ въ кро́вѣ крилꙋ̑ твоє́ю возра́дꙋюсѧ.

⁹

My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.

⁹

Прильпѐ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀ по тебѣ̀: мене́ же прїѧ́тъ десни́ца твоѧ̀.

¹⁰

But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁰

Ті́и же всꙋ́е и҆ска́ша дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀: вни́дꙋтъ въ преиспѡ́днѧѧ землѝ:

¹¹

They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.

¹¹

предадѧ́тсѧ въ рꙋ́ки ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧ, ча̑сти ли́совѡмъ бꙋ́дꙋтъ.

¹²

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.

¹²

Ца́рь же возвесели́тсѧ ѡ҆ бз҃ѣ: похва́литсѧ всѧ́къ клены́йсѧ и҆́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ загради́шасѧ оу҆ста̀ глаго́лющихъ непра́вєднаѧ.
