1 Начальнику хора. Псалом Давида.
2 Да услышит тебя Господь в день печали, да защитит тебя имя Бога Иаковлева. 3 Да пошлет тебе помощь из Святилища и с Сиона да подкрепит тебя. 4 Да воспомянет все жертвоприношения твои и всесожжение твое да соделает тучным. 5 Да даст тебе [Господь] по сердцу твоему и все намерения твои да исполнит. 6 Мы возрадуемся о спасении твоем и во имя Бога нашего поднимем знамя. Да исполнит Господь все прошения твои. 7 Ныне познал я, что Господь спасает помазанника Своего, отвечает ему со святых небес Своих могуществом спасающей десницы Своей. 8 Иные колесницами, иные конями, а мы именем Господа Бога нашего хвалимся: 9 они поколебались и пали, а мы встали и стоим прямо. 10 Господи! спаси царя и услышь нас, когда будем взывать [к Тебе].
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults .
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
