1 The Psalm of David, when he pretended to be mad before Abimelech, and was cast out from him, and departed. 2 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise is continually in my mouth. 3 My soul shall glory in the Lord; the meek will hear and rejoice. 4 Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. 5 I have sought the Lord, and he has heard me, and has delivered me from all my dangers. 6 And they that have looked unto him have been enlightened, and their countenances shall not be ashamed. 7 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard, and saved him from all his troubles. 8 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 9 Taste, and see how good the Lord is! Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 10 Fear the Lord, ye His saints, for there is no lack among them that fear Him. 11 The Skimns are in distress and are hungry, but they that seek the Lord have need of no good thing. 12 Come, little children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 13 Does a man desire to live, and does he love longevity, that he may see good? 14 Restrain thy tongue from evil, and thy mouth from deceitful words. 15 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace and follow it. 16 The eyes of the Lord are turned on the righteous, and his ears are on their cry. 17 But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to destroy from the earth the remembrance of them. 18 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their afflictions. 19 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and will save the lowly in spirit. 20 The righteous have many afflictions, and the Lord will deliver him out of them all. 21 He keepeth all his bones; none of them will be crushed. 22 Evil shall kill the sinner, and they that hate the righteous shall perish. 23 The Lord will deliver the souls of his servants, and none of them that trust in him will perish.

Psalm of David. 1 Enter into contention, O Lord, with those who contend with me, overcome those who fight against me; 2 Take shield and armor, and rise to my aid; 3 draw your sword, and bar the way of those who pursue me; Say to my soul, I am your salvation. 4 Let them be ashamed and put to shame that seek my life; let those who devise evil against me turn back and be covered with disgrace; 5 Let them be as dust before the wind, and let the angel of the Lord drive them away. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord pursue them, 7 for they have hidden their snare for me without guilt, they have dug it for my soul without guilt. 8 Let sudden destruction come upon him, and let his snare which he hid for me catch him; let him fall into it to perdition. 9 But my soul will rejoice in the Lord, will rejoice in salvation from him. 10 All my bones will say, 'Lord! Who is like Thee, who delivereth the weak from the strong, and the poor and needy from his robber?" 11 Unrighteous witnesses have risen up against me: what I do not know, they are questioning me; 12 They repay me evil for good, orphanhood to my soul. 13 In the time of their sickness I clothed myself in sackcloth, and weary my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned to my bosom. 14 I have walked as if it were my friend, my brother; I walked mournful, with my head bowed, as if mourning my mother. 15 And when I stumbled, they rejoiced, and gathered together; scoffers gathered against me, I don't know why, they reviled me and did not cease; 16 With hypocritical mockers they gnashed their teeth at me. 17 Lord! How long will you look at this? Take away my soul from their wickedness, from the lions my lonely. 18 I will glorify you in a great assembly, I will praise you in the midst of a multitude of people, 19 so that those who are enemies against me unrighteously may not triumph over me, and those who hate me innocently will not wink their eyes. 20 For they do not speak of peace, but against the peaceful of the earth they devise evil designs; 21 They open their mouths against me; They say: "Good! Ok! our eye has seen." 22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not silent; God! Do not depart from me. 23 Move, awake to my judgment, to my litigation, O my God and my Lord! 24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God, and let them not triumph over me; 25 Let them not say in their hearts, 'Well done! [good!] according to our soul!" 26 Let all be ashamed and ashamed who rejoice in my misfortune; let them be clothed with shame and disgrace who boast over me. 27 Let them rejoice and rejoice that desire my righteousness, and say continually, 'Let the Lord be magnified, who desires peace for his servant!' 28 And my tongue shall preach thy righteousness and thy praise all the day.

1 To the head of the choir. The servant of the Lord David. 2 The wickedness of the wicked man says in my heart, There is no fear of God in his eyes, 3 for he flatters himself in his own eyes, as if he were seeking out his iniquity to hate him; 4 The words of his mouth are unrighteousness and deceit; he does not want to come to his senses in order to do good; 5 On his bed he plots iniquity, he takes the way of evil, he does not abhor evil. 6 Lord! Thy mercy unto heaven, Thy truth unto the clouds! 7 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God, and Thy destinies are a great deep. Thou hast preserved men and beasts, O Lord! 8 How precious is thy mercy, O God! The sons of men are at rest in the shadow of Thy wings: 9 they are satisfied with the fat of Thy house, and out of the stream of Thy sweetness Thou shalt give them to drink, 10 for with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light we see light. 11 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy righteousness to those who are upright in heart, 12 let not the foot of pride set upon me, and let not the hand of a sinner cast me out: 13 there are fallen those who do iniquity, cast down, and cannot rise.

1 To the head of the choir. Psalm of David. 2 Blessed is he who thinketh of the poor [and needy]! In the day of trouble the Lord will deliver him. 3 The Lord shall preserve him, and preserve his life; blessed shall he be on earth. And you will not give him up to the will of his enemies. 4 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of sickness. Thou shalt change all his bed in his sickness. 5 I said, "Lord! have mercy on me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee. 6 My enemies say evil things about me, 'When shall he die, and his name perish?' 7 And if any man come to see me, he speaketh a lie; His heart contains unrighteousness in itself, and he goes out and interprets. 8 All those who hate me whisper among themselves against me, plotting evil against me: 9 "The word of Belial has come upon him; he lay down; he shall rise no more." 10 Even the man who was at peace with me, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me. 11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up, and I will repay them. 12 By this I will know that you will be pleased with me, if my enemy does not triumph over me, 13 but you will keep me whole, and set me before you for ever. 14 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Amen, amen!

1 To the head of the choir. David's teaching, 2 after Doik the Edomite came and reported to Saul and told him that David had come to the house of Ahimelech. 3 Why do you boast of wickedness, O mighty one? God's mercy is always with me; 4 Thy tongue deviseth destruction; Like a sophisticated razor, you have it, treacherous! 5 Thou lovest evil more than good, more falsehood than truth; 6 Thou lovest all pernicious speeches, O deceitful tongue: 7 therefore God shall utterly break thee, and shall cast thee out, and pluck thee out of the habitation, and thy root out of the land of the living. 8 The righteous will see and be afraid, they will laugh at him, 9 "Behold, a man who did not put his strength in God, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was strengthened in his wickedness." 10 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God, and I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever, 11 I will praise you forever for what you have done, and trust in your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.

1 Псалом. Песнь на день субботний. 2 Благо есть славить Господа и петь имени Твоему, Всевышний, 3 возвещать утром милость Твою и истину Твою в ночи, 4 на десятиструнном и псалтири, с песнью на гуслях. 5 Ибо Ты возвеселил меня, Господи, творением Твоим: я восхищаюсь делами рук Твоих. 6 Как велики дела Твои, Господи! дивно глубоки помышления Твои! 7 Человек несмысленный не знает, и невежда не разумеет того. 8 Тогда как нечестивые возникают, как трава, и делающие беззаконие цветут, чтобы исчезнуть на веки, - 9 Ты, Господи, высок во веки! 10 Ибо вот, враги Твои, Господи, - вот, враги Твои гибнут, и рассыпаются все делающие беззаконие; 11 а мой рог Ты возносишь, как рог единорога, и я умащен свежим елеем; 12 и око мое смотрит на врагов моих, и уши мои слышат о восстающих на меня злодеях. 13 Праведник цветет, как пальма, возвышается подобно кедру на Ливане. 14 Насажденные в доме Господнем, они цветут во дворах Бога нашего; 15 они и в старости плодовиты, сочны и свежи, 16 чтобы возвещать, что праведен Господь, твердыня моя, и нет неправды в Нем.

1 Милость и суд буду петь; Тебе, Господи, буду петь. 2 Буду размышлять о пути непорочном: "когда ты придешь ко мне?" Буду ходить в непорочности моего сердца посреди дома моего. 3 Не положу пред очами моими вещи непотребной; дело преступное я ненавижу: не прилепится оно ко мне. 4 Сердце развращенное будет удалено от меня; злого я не буду знать. 5 Тайно клевещущего на ближнего своего изгоню; гордого очами и надменного сердцем не потерплю. 6 Глаза мои на верных земли, чтобы они пребывали при мне; кто ходит путем непорочности, тот будет служить мне. 7 Не будет жить в доме моем поступающий коварно; говорящий ложь не останется пред глазами моими. 8 С раннего утра буду истреблять всех нечестивцев земли, дабы искоренить из града Господня всех делающих беззаконие.
