My son, if thou come to serve the Lord God, prepare thy soul for temptation.

¹

Ча́до, а҆́ще пристꙋпа́еши рабо́тати гдⷭ҇еви бг҃ꙋ, оу҆гото́ви дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ во и҆скꙋше́нїе:

²

Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble.

²

оу҆пра́ви се́рдце твоѐ и҆ потерпѝ, и҆ не ско́ръ бꙋ́ди во вре́мѧ наведе́нїѧ:

³

Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.

³

прилѣпи́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ не ѿстꙋпѝ, да возрасте́ши на послѣ́докъ тво́й.

⁴

Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate.

⁴

Всѐ є҆ли́ко а҆́ще нанесе́но тѝ бꙋ́детъ, прїимѝ и҆ во и҆змѣне́нїи смире́нїѧ твоегѡ̀ долготерпѝ:

⁵

For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.

⁵

ꙗ҆́кѡ во ѻ҆гнѝ и҆скꙋша́етсѧ зла́то, и҆ человѣ́цы прїѧ́тни въ пещѝ смире́нїѧ.

⁶

Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him.

⁶

Вѣ́рꙋй є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ застꙋ́питъ тѧ̀, и҆ оу҆пра́ви пꙋти̑ твоѧ̑ и҆ оу҆пова́й на́нь.

⁷

Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, lest ye fall.

⁷

Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а, пожди́те млⷭ҇ти є҆гѡ̀ и҆ не оу҆клони́тесѧ, да не паде́те.

⁸

Ye that fear the Lord, believe him; and your reward shall not fail.

⁸

Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а, вѣ́рꙋйте є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ не и҆́мать ѿпа́сти мзда̀ ва́ша.

⁹

Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy.

⁹

Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а, надѣ́йтесѧ на блага̑ѧ и҆ на весе́лїе вѣ́ка и҆ ми̑лости.

¹⁰

Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?

¹⁰

Воззри́те на дрє́внїѧ ро́ды и҆ ви́дите, кто̀ вѣ́рова гдⷭ҇еви и҆ постыдѣ́сѧ; и҆лѝ кто̀ пребы́сть во стра́сѣ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ста́висѧ; и҆лѝ кто̀ призва̀ є҆го̀, и҆ презрѣ̀ и҆̀;

¹¹

For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.

¹¹

Занѐ ще́дръ и҆ млⷭ҇тивъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ грѣхѝ, и҆ сп҃са́етъ во вре́мѧ ско́рби.

¹²

Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!

¹²

Го́ре сердца́мъ страшли̑вымъ и҆ рꙋка́мъ ѡ҆сла́блєнымъ, и҆ грѣ́шникꙋ ходѧ́щꙋ на двѣ̀ стєзѝ.

¹³

Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.

¹³

Го́ре се́рдцꙋ ѡ҆сла́бленꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не вѣ́рꙋетъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди покрове́но не бꙋ́детъ.

¹⁴

Woe unto you that have lost patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?

¹⁴

Го́ре ва́мъ погꙋ́бльшымъ терпѣ́нїе: и҆ что̀ сотворитѐ, є҆гда̀ посѣти́тъ гдⷭ҇ь;

¹⁵

They that fear the Lord will not disobey his word; and they that love him will keep his ways.

¹⁵

Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а не сꙋмнѣва́ютсѧ ѡ҆ гл҃го́лѣхъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ лю́бѧщїи є҆го̀ сохранѧ́тъ пꙋти̑ є҆гѡ̀.

¹⁶

They that fear the Lord will seek that which is wellpleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law.

¹⁶

Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а пои́щꙋтъ бл҃говоле́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ лю́бѧщїи є҆го̀ и҆спо́лнѧтсѧ зако́на.

¹⁷

They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,

¹⁷

Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а оу҆гото́вѧтъ сердца̀ своѧ̑ и҆ пред̾ ни́мъ смирѧ́тъ дꙋ́шы своѧ̑, (глаго́люще:)

¹⁸

saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.

¹⁸

да впаде́мъ въ рꙋ́цѣ гдⷭ҇ни, а҆ не въ рꙋ́цѣ человѣ́чєски, ꙗ҆́кѡ бо вели́чество є҆гѡ̀, та́кѡ и҆ млⷭ҇ть є҆гѡ̀.
