1 Начальнику хора. На струнных орудиях . Учение Давида, 2 когда пришли Зифеи и сказали Саулу: «не у нас ли скрывается Давид?»
3 Боже! именем Твоим спаси меня, и силою Твоею суди меня. 4 Боже! услышь молитву мою, внемли словам уст моих, 5 ибо чужие восстали на меня, и сильные ищут души моей; они не имеют Бога пред собою. 6 Вот, Бог помощник мой; Господь подкрепляет душу мою. 7 Он воздаст за зло врагам моим; истиною Твоею истреби их. 8 Я усердно принесу Тебе жертву, прославлю имя Твое, Господи, ибо оно благо, 9 ибо Ты избавил меня от всех бед, и на врагов моих смотрело око мое.
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
