< Псалтирь 40 >
1 В конец, псалом Давиду. Терпя потерпех Господа, и внят ми и услыша молитву мою:
To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry.
2 и возведе мя от рова страстей и от брения тины, и постави на камени нозе мои и исправи стопы моя:
He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain.
3 и вложи во уста моя песнь нову, пение Богу нашему. Узрят мнози и убоятся, и уповают на Господа.
And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.
4 Блажен муж, емуже есть имя Господне упование его, и не призре в суеты и неистовления ложная.
Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.
5 Многа сотворил еси Ты, Господи Боже мой, чудеса Твоя, и помышлением Твоим несть кто уподобится Тебе: возвестих и глаголах: умножишася паче числа.
O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.
6 Жертвы и приношения не восхотел еси, тело же свершил ми еси: всесожжений и о гресе не взыскал еси.
You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request.
7 Тогда рех: се, прииду: в главизне книжне писано есть о мне:
Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,
8 еже сотворити волю Твою, Боже мой, восхотех, и закон Твой посреде чрева моего.
My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.
9 Благовестих правду в церкви велицей, се, устнам моим не возбраню: Господи, Ты разумел еси.
I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.
10 Правду Твою не скрых в сердцы моем, истину Твою и спасение Твое рех, не скрых милость Твою и истину Твою от сонма многа.
Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.
11 Ты же, Господи, не удали щедрот Твоих от мене: милость Твоя и истина Твоя выну да заступите мя.
Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.
12 Яко одержаша мя злая, имже несть числа: постигоша мя беззакония моя, и не возмогох зрети: умножишася паче влас главы моея, и сердце мое остави мя.
For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.
13 Благоволи, Господи, избавити мя: Господи, во еже помощи ми, вонми.
Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.
14 Да постыдятся и посрамятся вкупе ищущии душу мою, изяти ю: да возвратятся вспять и постыдятся хотящии ми злая.
Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.
15 Да приимут абие студ свой глаголющии ми: благоже, благоже.
Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.
16 Да возрадуются и возвеселятся о Тебе вси ищущии Тебе, Господи, и да рекут выну, да возвеличится Господь, любящии спасение Твое.
Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.
17 Аз же нищь есмь и убог, Господь попечется о мне: помощник мой и защититель мой еси ты, Боже мой, не закосни.
Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.
