- 1. <Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.><br>
My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations. - 2. For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.
- 3. I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;
- 4. I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)
- 5. In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.
- 6. For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?
- 7. God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.
- 8. O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.
- 9. You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.
- 10. Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.
- 11. Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.
- 12. You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.
- 13. Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.
- 14. The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
- 15. Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.
- 16. In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.
- 17. For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.
- 18. For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.
- 19. Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.
- 20. I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.
- 21. My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
- 22. The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
- 23. I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
- 24. But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
- 25. I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
- 26. He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
- 27. And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.
- 28. I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
- 29. His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
- 30. If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
- 31. If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
- 32. Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
- 33. But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
- 34. I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
- 35. I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
- 36. His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
- 37. It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)
- 38. But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
- 39. You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.
- 40. All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.
- 41. All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.
- 42. You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.
- 43. His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
- 44. You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
- 45. You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)
- 46. How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
- 47. See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
- 48. What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)
- 49. Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
- 50. Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;
- 51. The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.
- 52. Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
1.Молитва Моисея, человека Божия.2.Господи! Ты нам прибежище в род и род.3.Прежде нежели родились горы,
и Ты образовал землю и вселенную,
и от века и до века Ты — Бог.4.Ты возвращаешь человека в тление
и говоришь: «возвратитесь, сыны человеческие!»5.Ибо пред очами Твоими тысяча лет, как день вчерашний,
когда он прошел, и как стража в ночи.6.Ты как наводнением уносишь их;
они — как сон, как трава, которая утром вырастает,
утром цветет и зеленеет, вечером подсекается и засыхает;7.ибо мы исчезаем от гнева Твоего
и от ярости Твоей мы в смятении.8.Ты положил беззакония наши пред Тобою
и тайное наше пред светом лица Твоего.9.Все дни наши прошли во гневе Твоем;
мы теряем лета наши, как звук.10.Дней лет наших — семьдесят лет,
а при большей крепости — восемьдесят лет;
и самая лучшая пора их — труд и болезнь,
ибо проходят быстро, и мы летим.11.Кто знает силу гнева Твоего, и ярость Твою
по мере страха Твоего?12.Научи нас так счислять дни наши,
чтобы нам приобрести сердце мудрое.13.Обратись, Господи!
Доколе?
Умилосердись над рабами Твоими.14.Рано насыти нас милостью Твоею,
и мы будем радоваться и веселиться во все дни наши.15.Возвесели нас за дни, в которые Ты поражал нас,
за лета, в которые мы видели бедствие.16.Да явится на рабах Твоих дело Твое
и на сынах их слава Твоя;17.и да будет благоволение Господа Бога нашего на нас,
и в деле рук наших споспешествуй нам,
в деле рук наших споспешествуй.
и Ты образовал землю и вселенную,
и от века и до века Ты — Бог.4.Ты возвращаешь человека в тление
и говоришь: «возвратитесь, сыны человеческие!»5.Ибо пред очами Твоими тысяча лет, как день вчерашний,
