[For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave.]

Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρῃς· τῷ Δαυΐδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν ἀποδιδράσκειν ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαοὺλ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον. -

Въ коне́цъ, да не растли́ши, дв҃дꙋ въ столпописа́нїе, внегда̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿбѣга́ти ѿ лица̀ саꙋ́лова въ пеще́рꙋ,

2

Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.

ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ με, ὁ Θεός, ἐλέησόν με, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθεν ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἐλπιῶ, ἕως οὗ παρέλθῃ ἡ ἀνομία.

Поми́лꙋй мѧ̀, бж҃е, поми́лꙋй мѧ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ на тѧ̀ ᲂу҆пова̀ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀, и҆ на сѣ́нь крилꙋ̑ твоє́ю надѣ́юсѧ, до́ндеже пре́йдетъ беззако́нїе.

3

I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. Pause.

κεκράξομαι πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν τὸν ῞Υψιστον, τὸν Θεὸν τὸν εὐεργετήσαντά με.

Воззовꙋ̀ къ бг҃ꙋ вы́шнемꙋ, бг҃ꙋ бл҃годѣ́ѧвшемꙋ мнѣ̀.

4

He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;

ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔσωσέ με, ἔδωκεν εἰς ὄνειδος τοὺς καταπατοῦντάς με. (διάψαλμα). ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ

Посла̀ съ нб҃сѐ и҆ сп҃се́ мѧ, дадѐ въ поноше́нїе попира́ющыѧ мѧ̀: посла̀ бг҃ъ млⷭ҇ть свою̀ и҆ и҆́стинꙋ свою̀,

5

and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions’] whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.

καὶ ἐρρύσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ μέσου σκύμνων. ἐκοιμήθην τεταραγμένος· υἱοὶ ἀνθρώπων, οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὅπλα καὶ βέλη, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν μάχαιρα ὀξεῖα.

и҆ и҆зба́ви дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ ѿ среды̀ скѵ́мнѡвъ. Поспа́хъ смꙋще́нъ: сы́нове человѣ́честїи, зꙋ́бы и҆́хъ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ и҆ стрѣ́лы, и҆ ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́хъ ме́чь ѻ҆́стръ.

6

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

ὑψώθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανούς, ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα σου.

Вознеси́сѧ на нб҃са̀, бж҃е, и҆ по все́й землѝ сла́ва твоѧ̀.

7

They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. Pause.

παγίδα ἡτοίμασαν τοῖς ποσί μου καὶ κατέκαμψαν τὴν ψυχήν μου· ὤρυξαν πρὸ προσώπου μου βόθρον καὶ ἐνέπεσαν εἰς αὐτόν. (διάψαλμα).

Сѣ́ть ᲂу҆гото́ваша нога́мъ мои̑мъ, и҆ слѧко́ша дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀: и҆скопа́ша пред̾ лице́мъ мои́мъ ꙗ҆́мꙋ, и҆ впадо́ша въ ню̀.

8

My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.

ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ὁ Θεός, ἑτοίμη ἡ καρδία μου, ᾄσομαι καὶ ψαλῶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ μου.

Гото́во се́рдце моѐ, бж҃е, гото́во се́рдце моѐ: воспою̀ и҆ пою̀ во сла́вѣ мое́й.

9

Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.

ἐξεγέρθητι, ἡ δόξα μου· ἐξεγέρθητι, ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάρα· ἐξεγερθήσομαι ὄρθρου.

Воста́ни, сла́ва моѧ̀, воста́ни, ѱалти́рю и҆ гꙋ́сли: воста́нꙋ ра́нѡ.

10

O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.

ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν λαοῖς, Κύριε, ψαλῶ σοι ἐν ἔθνεσι,

И҆сповѣ́мсѧ тебѣ̀ въ лю́дехъ, гдⷭ҇и, воспою̀ тебѣ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ:

11

For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.

ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ ἕως τῶν νεφελῶν ἡ ἀλήθειά σου.

ꙗ҆́кѡ возвели́чисѧ до нб҃съ млⷭ҇ть твоѧ̀ и҆ да́же до ѡ҆́блакъ и҆́стина твоѧ̀.

12

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

ὑψώθητι ἐπὶ τοὺς οὐρανούς, ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἡ δόξα σου.

Вознеси́сѧ на нб҃са̀, бж҃е, и҆ по все́й землѝ сла́ва твоѧ̀.
