Verse 1

I love you, Lord, my strength.

Дирижёру хора. Песнь Давуда.

Verse 2

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield^[b] and the horn^[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.

Небеса провозглашают славу Всевышнего,
о делах Его рук возвещает их свод;

Verse 3

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.

изо дня в день вещают они,
каждую ночь открывают знание.

Verse 4

The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

Хотя они не используют ни речи, ни слов,
и не издают ни звука,

Verse 5

The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.

всё же их голос слышен по всей земле,
их слова – до краёв света.

В небесах Он поставил шатёр для солнца,

Verse 6

In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.

и оно выходит, словно жених из спальни своей,
и, как атлет, радуется предстоящему забегу.

Verse 7

The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.

Встаёт оно на одном краю небес
и совершает свой путь к другому краю,
и ничто от жара его не скрыто.

Verse 8

Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.

Закон Вечного совершенен,
обновляет душу.
Заповеди Вечного непреложны,
умудряют простых.

Verse 9

He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.

Наставления Вечного праведны,
радуют сердце.
Повеления Вечного лучезарны,
просветляют глаза.

Verse 10

He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.

Страх Вечного чист,
пребывает вовеки.
Законы Вечного истинны,
все праведны.

Verse 11

He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.

Они желаннее золота,
даже множества золота чистого;
слаще, нежели мёд,
нежели капли из сот.

Verse 12

Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

Раб Твой ими храним;
в соблюдении их большая награда.

Verse 13

The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.^[d]

Кто к ошибкам своим не слеп?
От невольных проступков меня очисти

Verse 14

He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

и от сознательных грехов удержи Своего раба;
не дай им власти надо мной.
Тогда я буду непорочен
и чист от большого греха.

Verse 15

The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

Пусть слова моих уст и раздумья моего сердца
будут угодны Тебе, о Вечный,
моя Скала и мой Искупитель!
