Псалтирь 57
1 В конец, да не растлиши, Давиду в столпописание, внегда ему отбегати от лица Саулова в пещеру. Помилуй мя, Боже, помилуй мя: яко на Тя упова душа моя, и на сень крилу Твоею надеюся, дондеже прейдет беззаконие.
For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time he fled from Saul and hid in the cave. Please be kind to me, God! Be kind to me because I come to you for protection. I will shelter under the shadow of your wings until the danger is past.
2 Воззову к Богу Вышнему, Богу благодеявшему мне.
I cry out for help to God Most High, to God who vindicates me.
3 Посла с небесе и спасе мя, даде в поношение попирающыя мя: посла Бог милость Свою и истину Свою,
From heaven he sends his help, and he saves me. He defeats those who persecute me. (Selah) God sends me his unfailing love, showing he is completely trustworthy.
4 и избави душу мою от среды скимнов. Поспах смущен: сынове человечестии, зубы их оружия и стрелы, и язык их мечь остр.
I am surrounded by man-eating lions—I am forced to live with them! Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues are swords.
5 Вознесися на небеса, Боже, и по всей земли слава Твоя.
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
6 Сеть уготоваша ногам моим, и слякоша душу мою: ископаша пред лицем моим яму, и впадоша в ню.
They set a trap to catch me. I was so depressed. They dug a pit on my path but they were the ones who fell into it. (Selah)
7 Готово сердце мое, Боже, готово сердце мое: воспою и пою во славе моей.
I have confidence in you, God, I have confidence in you. I will sing songs of praise to you.
8 Востани, слава моя, востани, псалтирю и гусли: востану рано.
I say to myself, “Wake up!” Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
9 Исповемся Тебе в людех, Господи, воспою Тебе во языцех:
I will thank you among the peoples, Lord; I will sing your praises among the nations.
10 яко возвеличися до небес милость Твоя и даже до облак истина Твоя.
Your faithful love reaches to the heavens; your trustworthiness to the clouds.
11 Вознесися на небеса, Боже, и по всей земли слава Твоя.
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
