Песнь восхождения.
1 Надеющийся на Господа, как гора Сион, не подвигнется: пребывает вовек. 2 Горы окрест Иерусалима, а Господь окрест народа Своего отныне и вовек. 3 Ибо не оставит [Господь] жезла нечестивых над жребием праведных, дабы праведные не простерли рук своих к беззаконию. 4 Благотвори, Господи, добрым и правым в сердцах своих; 5 а совращающихся на кривые пути свои да оставит Господь ходить с делающими беззаконие. Мир на Израиля!
A Song of degrees of David.
1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
