[Alleluia.] Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy [endures] for ever.

᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΕΞΟΜΟΛΟΓΕΙΣΘΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι χρηστός, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ·

И҆сповѣ́дайтесѧ гдⷭ҇еви, ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ вѣ́къ млⷭ҇ть є҆гѡ̀.

2

Let them say [so] who have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

εἰπάτωσαν οἱ λελυτρωμένοι ὑπὸ Κυρίου, οὓς ἐλυτρώσατο ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ.

Да рекꙋ́тъ и҆зба́вленнїи гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆̀хже и҆зба́ви и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ врага̀,

3

and gathered them out of the countries, from the east, and west, and north, and south.

ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν συνήγαγεν αὐτούς, ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν καὶ βοῤῥᾶ καὶ θαλάσσης.

и҆ ѿ стра́нъ собра̀ и҆́хъ, ѿ востѡ́къ и҆ за̑падъ, и҆ сѣ́вера и҆ мо́рѧ:

4

They wandered in the wilderness in a dry land; they found no way to a city of habitation.

ἐπλανήθησαν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ, ὁδὸν πόλεως κατοικητηρίου οὐχ εὗρον,

заблꙋди́ша въ пꙋсты́ни безво́днѣй, пꙋтѝ гра́да ѡ҆би́тельнагѡ не ѡ҆брѣто́ша:

5

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

πεινῶντες καὶ διψῶντες, ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐξέλιπε·

а҆́лчꙋще и҆ жа́ждꙋще, дꙋша̀ и҆́хъ въ ни́хъ и҆счезѐ.

6

Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

καὶ ἐκέκραξαν πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἐῤῥύσατο αὐτοὺς

И҆ воззва́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, внегда̀ скорбѣ́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ ѿ нꙋ́ждъ и҆́хъ и҆зба́ви ѧ҆̀:

7

And he guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation.

καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ὁδὸν εὐθεῖαν τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς πόλιν κατοικητηρίου.

и҆ наста́ви ѧ҆̀ на пꙋ́ть пра́въ, вни́ти во гра́дъ ѡ҆би́тельный.

8

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ Κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων,

Да и҆сповѣ́дѧтсѧ {да и҆сповѣ́дѧтъ} гдⷭ҇еви млⷭ҇ти є҆гѡ̀ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ сыновѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ:

9

For he satisfies the empty soul, and fills the hungry [soul] with good things,

ὅτι ἐχόρτασε ψυχὴν κενὴν καὶ πεινῶσαν ἐνέπλησεν ἀγαθῶν.

ꙗ҆́кѡ насы́тилъ є҆́сть дꙋ́шꙋ тщꙋ̀, и҆ дꙋ́шꙋ а҆́лчꙋщꙋ и҆спо́лни бла̑гъ:

10

[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and iron;

καθημένους ἐν σκότει καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου, πεπεδημένους ἐν πτωχείᾳ καὶ σιδήρῳ,

сѣдѧ́щыѧ во тьмѣ̀ и҆ сѣ́ни сме́ртнѣй, ѡ҆кова̑нныѧ нището́ю и҆ желѣ́зомъ,

11

because they rebelled against the words of God, and provoked the counsel of the Most High.

ὅτι παρεπίκραναν τὰ λόγια τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ ῾Υψίστου παρώξυναν,

ꙗ҆́кѡ преѡгорчи́ша словеса̀ бж҃їѧ, и҆ совѣ́тъ вы́шнѧгѡ раздражи́ша.

12

So their heart was brought low with troubles; they were weak, and there was no helper.

καὶ ἐταπεινώθη ἐν κόποις ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, ἠσθένησαν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν·

И҆ смири́сѧ въ трꙋдѣ́хъ се́рдце и҆́хъ, и҆ и҆знемого́ша, и҆ не бѣ̀ помага́ѧй.

13

Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he saved them out of their distresses.

καὶ ἐκέκραξαν πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς

И҆ воззва́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, внегда̀ скорбѣ́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ ѿ нꙋ́ждъ и҆́хъ сп҃сѐ ѧ҆̀:

14

And he brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds asunder.

καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ σκότους καὶ σκιᾶς θανάτου καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν διέρρηξεν.

и҆ и҆зведѐ ѧ҆̀ и҆з̾ тьмы̀ и҆ сѣ́ни сме́ртныѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зы и҆́хъ растерза̀.

15

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonders to the children of men.

ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ Κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων,

Да и҆сповѣ́дѧтсѧ {да и҆сповѣ́дѧтъ} гдⷭ҇еви млⷭ҇ти є҆гѡ̀ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ сыновѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ:

16

For he broke to pieces the brazen gates, and crushed the iron bars.

ὅτι συνέτριψε πύλας χαλκᾶς καὶ μοχλοὺς σιδηροῦς συνέθλασεν.

ꙗ҆́кѡ сокрꙋшѝ врата̀ мѣ̑днаѧ, и҆ верєѝ желѣ̑зныѧ сломѝ.

17

He helped them out of the way of their iniquity; for they were brought low because of their iniquities.

ἀντελάβετο αὐτῶν ἐξ ὁδοῦ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν, διὰ γὰρ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐταπεινώθησαν·

Воспрїѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ ѿ пꙋтѝ беззако́нїѧ и҆́хъ: беззако́нїй бо ра́ди свои́хъ смири́шасѧ.

18

Their soul abhorred all meat; and they drew near to the gates of death.

πᾶν βρῶμα ἐβδελύξατο ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤγγισαν ἕως τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου·

Всѧ́кагѡ бра́шна возгнꙋша́сѧ дꙋша̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ прибли́жишасѧ до вра́тъ сме́ртныхъ.

19

Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he saved them out of their distresses.

καὶ ἐκέκραξαν πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἔσωσεν αὐτούς,

И҆ воззва́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, внегда̀ скорбѣ́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ ѿ нꙋ́ждъ и҆́хъ сп҃сѐ ѧ҆̀:

20

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them out of their destructions.

ἀπέστειλε τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰάσατο αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐρρύσατο αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν διαφθορῶν αὐτῶν.

посла̀ сло́во своѐ, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ ѧ҆̀, и҆ и҆зба́ви ѧ҆̀ ѿ растлѣ́нїй и҆́хъ.

21

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ Κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων

Да и҆сповѣ́дѧтсѧ {да и҆сповѣ́дѧтъ} гдⷭ҇еви млⷭ҇ти є҆гѡ̀ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ сыновѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ:

22

And let them offer to him the sacrifice of praise, and proclaim his works with exultation.

καὶ θυσάτωσαν αὐτῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἐξαγγειλάτωσαν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει.

и҆ да пожрꙋ́тъ є҆мꙋ̀ же́ртвꙋ хвалы̀ и҆ да возвѣстѧ́тъ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀ въ ра́дости.

23

They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in many waters;

οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς θάλασσαν ἐν πλοίοις, ποιοῦντες ἐργασίαν ἐν ὕδασι πολλοῖς,

Сходѧ́щїи въ мо́ре въ корабле́хъ, творѧ́щїи дѣ̑ланїѧ въ вода́хъ мно́гихъ,

24

these [men] have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

αὐτοὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ βυθῷ.

ті́и ви́дѣша дѣла̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ во глꙋбинѣ̀.

25

He speaks, and the stormy wind arises, and its waves are lifted up.

εἶπε, καὶ ἔστη πνεῦμα καταιγίδος, καὶ ὑψώθη τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς·

Речѐ, и҆ ста̀ дꙋ́хъ бꙋ́ренъ, и҆ вознесо́шасѧ вѡ́лны є҆гѡ̀:

26

They go up to the heavens, and go down to the depths; their soul melts because of troubles.

ἀναβαίνουσιν ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ καταβαίνουσιν ἕως τῶν ἀβύσσων, ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἐν κακοῖς ἐτήκετο·

восхо́дѧтъ до небе́съ и҆ низхо́дѧтъ до бе́зднъ: дꙋша̀ и҆́хъ въ ѕлы́хъ та́ѧше:

27

They are troubled, they stagger as a drunkard, and all their wisdom is swallowed up.

ἐταράχθησαν, ἐσαλεύθησαν ὡς ὁ μεθύων, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ σοφία αὐτῶν κατεπόθη·

смѧто́шасѧ, подвиго́шасѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ пїѧ́ный, и҆ всѧ̀ мꙋ́дрость и҆́хъ поглощена̀ бы́сть.

28

Then they cry to the Lord in their affliction, and he brings them out of their distresses.

καὶ ἐκέκραξαν πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν αὐτῶν ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς

И҆ воззва́ша ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, внегда̀ скорбѣ́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ ѿ нꙋ́ждъ и҆́хъ и҆зведѐ ѧ҆̀:

29

And he commands the storm, and it is calmed into a gentle breeze, and its waves are still.

καὶ ἐπέταξε τῇ καταιγίδι, καὶ ἔστη εἰς αὔραν, καὶ ἐσίγησαν τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς·

и҆ повелѣ̀ бꙋ́ри, и҆ ста̀ въ тишинꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆молко́ша вѡ́лны є҆гѡ̀.

30

And they are glad, because they are quiet; and he guides them to their desired haven.

καὶ εὐφράνθησαν, ὅτι ἡσύχασαν, καὶ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ λιμένα θελήματος αὐτοῦ.

И҆ возвесели́шасѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆молко́ша, и҆ наста́ви ѧ҆̀ въ приста́нище хотѣ́нїѧ своегѡ̀.

31

Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

ἐξομολογησάσθωσαν τῷ Κυρίῳ τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

Да и҆сповѣ́дѧтсѧ {да и҆сповѣ́дѧтъ} гдⷭ҇еви млⷭ҇ти є҆гѡ̀ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ сыновѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ:

32

Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.

ὑψωσάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ λαοῦ καὶ ἐν καθέδρᾳ πρεσβυτέρων αἰνεσάτωσαν αὐτόν.

да вознесꙋ́тъ є҆го̀ въ цр҃кви людстѣ́й, и҆ на сѣда́лищи ста́рєцъ восхва́лѧтъ є҆го̀.

33

He turns rivers into a desert, and streams of water into a dry land;

ἔθετο ποταμοὺς εἰς ἔρημον καὶ διεξόδους ὑδάτων εἰς δίψαν,

Положи́лъ є҆́сть рѣ́ки въ пꙋсты́ню и҆ и҆схѡ́дища вѡдна́ѧ въ жа́ждꙋ,

34

a fruitful land into saltness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.

γῆν καρποφόρον εἰς ἅλμην ἀπὸ κακίας τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν αὐτῇ.

зе́млю плодоно́снꙋю въ сла́ность, ѿ ѕло́бы живꙋ́щихъ на не́й.

35

He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into streams of water.

ἔθετο ἔρημον εἰς λίμνας ὑδάτων καὶ γῆν ἄνυδρον εἰς διεξόδους ὑδάτων.

Положи́лъ є҆́сть пꙋсты́ню во є҆зе́ра вѡдна́ѧ и҆ зе́млю безво́днꙋю во и҆схѡ́дища вѡдна́ѧ.

36

And there he causes the hungry to dwell, and they establish for themselves cities of habitation.

καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ πεινῶντας, καὶ συνεστήσαντο πόλεις κατοικεσίας

И҆ населѝ та́мѡ а҆́лчꙋщыѧ, и҆ соста́виша гра́ды ѡ҆би́тєльны:

37

And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, and they yield fruit of increase.

καὶ ἔσπειραν ἀγροὺς καὶ ἐφύτευσαν ἀμπελῶνας καὶ ἐποίησαν καρπὸν γεννήματος,

и҆ насѣ́ѧша се́ла, и҆ насади́ша вїногра́ды, и҆ сотвори́ша пло́дъ жи́тенъ.

38

And he blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, and he diminishes not the number of their cattle.

καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐσμίκρυνε.

И҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ ѧ҆̀, и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жишасѧ ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ скоты̀ и҆́хъ не ᲂу҆ма́ли.

39

Again they become few, and are brought low, by the pressure of evils and pain.

καὶ ὠλιγώθησαν καὶ ἐκακώθησαν ἀπὸ θλίψεως κακῶν καὶ ὀδύνης.

И҆ ᲂу҆ма́лишасѧ и҆ ѡ҆ѕло́бишасѧ ѿ ско́рби ѕѡ́лъ и҆ болѣ́зни:

40

Contempt is poured upon their princes, and he causes them to wander in a desert and trackless land.

ἐξεχύθη ἐξουδένωσις ἐπ᾿ ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπλάνησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀβάτῳ καὶ οὐχ ὁδῷ.

и҆злїѧ́сѧ ᲂу҆ничиже́нїе на кнѧ̑зи и҆́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆блазнѝ {заблꙋжда́ти сотворѝ} ѧ҆̀ по непрохо́днѣй, а҆ не по пꙋтѝ.

41

But he helps the poor out of poverty, and makes [him] families as a flock.

καὶ ἐβοήθησε πένητι ἐκ πτωχείας καὶ ἔθετο ὡς πρόβατα πατριάς.

И҆ помо́же ᲂу҆бо́гꙋ ѿ нищеты̀ и҆ положѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы ѻ҆те́чєствїѧ.

42

The upright shall see and rejoice; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

ὄψονται εὐθεῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται, καὶ πᾶσα ἀνομία ἐμφράξει τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς.

Оу҆́зрѧтъ пра́вїи и҆ возвеселѧ́тсѧ, и҆ всѧ́кое беззако́нїе загради́тъ ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑.

43

Who is wise, and will observe these things, and understand the mercies of the Lord?

τίς σοφὸς καὶ φυλάξει ταῦτα καὶ συνήσει τὰ ἐλέη τοῦ Κυρίου;

Кто̀ премꙋ́дръ и҆ сохрани́тъ сїѧ̑; и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ютъ млⷭ҇ти гдⷭ҇ни.
