короновал и овеял красою Божьей.

Над деяньем десницы Своей его воцарил,

все созданья земные

сделал ему подножьем.

Блеющих и мычащих Ты в руку его доверил,

странников моря, рыб, что ловятся с корабля,

птицу небесную и полевого зверя.

Господи Боже!

Исполнена славы Твоей земля.

ПСАЛОМ 9

Канонический русский перевод

1 Начальнику хора. По смерти Лабена. Псалом Давида.

2 I will praise [thee], O Lord, with all my heart, declaring all thy wonders. 3 I will rejoice and rejoice in you, I will sing to your name, O Most High. 4 When my enemies are turned back, they will stumble and perish before you, 5 for you have done my judgment and my lawsuit; Thou art seated on the throne, O righteous Judge. 6 Thou hast been indignant with the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. 7 The enemy hath no weapons at all, and thou hast destroyed the cities; their memory perished with them. 8 But the Lord abides for ever; He has prepared His throne for judgment, 9 and He will judge the world in righteousness, He will judge the nations in righteousness. 10 And the Lord shall be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble; 11 And they that know thy name shall trust in thee: for thou dost not forsake them that seek thee, O Lord. 12 Sing to the Lord who dwelleth in Zion, declare his works among the nations, 13 for he is the one who punishes blood; remembers them, does not forget the cry of the oppressed. 14 Have mercy on me, O Lord; Look upon my affliction at the hands of them that hate me, Thou who liftest me up from the gate of death, 15 that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 16 The nations fell into the pit which they had dug; in the snare which they hid, their foot was entangled. 17 The Lord was known according to the judgment which he had done; the wicked are caught by the works of his hands. 18 Let the wicked turn to hell, all the nations that forget God. 19 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever, neither shall the hope of the poor be utterly lost. 20 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail, let the nations be judged before Thy face. 21 Bring fear upon them, O Lord; let the nations know that they are men. 22 Why, O Lord, do you stand afar off, hiding yourself in the time of trouble? 23 In his pride the wicked pursue the poor: let them be caught by the artifices which they themselves devise. 24 For the wicked man rejoiceth in the lust of his soul; the greedy man pleases himself. 25 In his arrogance the wicked despise the Lord: "He shall not seek"; in all his thoughts: "There is no God!" 26 At all times his ways are pernicious; Thy judgments are far from him; he looks upon all his enemies with contempt; 27 He says in his heart, "I will not be moved; no evil shall befall me from generation to generation"; 28 His mouth is full of curses, deceit, and lies; under the tongue is his torment and destruction; 29 He sits in ambush behind the courtyard, in secret places he kills an innocent; his eyes peep at the poor; 30 He lies in wait in a secret place, like a lion in a den; lies in wait in ambush to seize the poor; he seizes the poor, dragging him into his nets; 31 He bends, he leans down, and the poor fall into his mighty claws; 32 Saith in his heart, . . . 33 Arise, O Lord God, lift up thy hand, and forget not the oppressed. 34 Why does the wicked despise God, saying in his heart, "Thou shalt not seek"? 35 Thou seest, for thou lookest upon injury and oppression, that thou mayest repay by thy hand. To Thee the poor man commits himself; Thou art a helper to the orphan. 36 Break the arm of the wicked and wicked, so that you may seek and not find his wickedness. 37 The Lord is a king for ever, for ever; the Gentiles shall perish from His land. 38 Lord! You hear the desires of the humble; strengthen their hearts; Open Thy ear, 39 to give judgment to the fatherless and the oppressed, that man may no more be terrified on earth.
