A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite.

¹

Псало́мъ Дави́ду, єго́же воспѣ́тъ Го́сподеви о словесѣ́хъ Хусі́євыхъ, сы́на Іємені́ина.

²

O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

²

Го́споди Бо́же мо́й, на Тя́ упова́хъ, спаси́ мя от всѣ́хъ гоня́щихъ мя́ и изба́ви мя́:

³

Lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.

³

да не когда́ похи́титъ я́ко ле́въ ду́шу мою́, не су́щу избавля́ющу, ниже́ спаса́ющу.

⁴

O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands;)

⁴

Го́споди Бо́же мо́й, а́ще сотвори́хъ сіє́, а́ще є́сть непра́вда въ руку́ моє́ю,

⁵

if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.

⁵

а́ще возда́хъ воздаю́щымъ ми́ зла́, да отпаду́ у́бо от вра́гъ мои́хъ то́щъ:

⁶

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause.

⁶

да пожене́тъ у́бо вра́гъ ду́шу мою́, и да пости́гнетъ, и попере́тъ въ зе́млю живо́тъ мо́й, и сла́ву мою́ въ пе́рсть всели́тъ.

⁷

Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command.

⁷

Воскре́сни́, Го́споди, гнѣ́вомъ Твои́мъ, вознеси́ся въ конца́хъ вра́гъ Твои́хъ, и воста́ни, Го́споди Бо́же мо́й, повелѣ́ніємъ, и́мже заповѣ́далъ єси́,

⁸

And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.

⁸

и со́нмъ люді́й обы́детъ Тя́: и о то́мъ на высоту́ обрати́ся.

⁹

The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.

⁹

Госпо́дь су́дитъ лю́демъ: суди́ ми, Го́споди, по пра́вдѣ моє́й и по незло́бѣ моє́й на мя́.

¹⁰

Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.

¹⁰

Да сконча́єтся зло́ба грѣ́шныхъ, и испра́виши пра́веднаго, испыта́яй сердца́ и утро́бы, Бо́же, пра́ведно.

¹¹

My help is righteous, coming from God who saves the upright in heart.

¹¹

По́мощь моя́ от Бо́га, спаса́ющаго пра́выя се́рдцемъ.

¹²

God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.

¹²

Бо́гъ суди́тель пра́веденъ, и крѣ́покъ, и долготерпѣли́въ, и не гнѣ́въ наводя́й на вся́къ де́нь.

¹³

If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹³

А́ще не обратите́ся, ору́жіє Своє́ очи́ститъ, лу́къ Сво́й напряже́, и угото́ва и́,

¹⁴

And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.

¹⁴

и въ не́мъ угото́ва сосу́ды сме́ртныя, стрѣ́лы Своя́ сгара́ємымъ содѣ́ла.

¹⁵

Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.

¹⁵

Се́, болѣ́ непра́вдою, зача́тъ болѣ́знь и роди́ беззако́ніє:

¹⁶

He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.

¹⁶

ро́въ изры́ и ископа́ и́, и паде́тъ въ я́му, ю́же содѣ́ла.

¹⁷

His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.

¹⁷

Обрати́тся болѣ́знь єго́ на главу́ єго́, и на ве́рхъ єго́ непра́вда єго́ сни́детъ.

¹⁸

I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.

¹⁸

Исповѣ́мся Го́сподеви по пра́вдѣ Єго́ и пою́ и́мени Го́спода Вы́шняго.
