Psalm 55 — NIV vs CARS

Psalm 55

NIV — New International Version Bible (NIV)

CARS — Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод) (CARS)

Verse 1

Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;

Дирижёру хора. На мотив «О голубке в дальней дубраве». Мольба Давуда, когда филистимляне схватили его в Гате.^[a]

Verse 2

hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught

Всевышний, помилуй меня,
потому что люди меня затравили;
всякий день, нападая, меня теснят.

Verse 3

    because of what my enemy is saying,
    because of the threats of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering on me
    and assail me in their anger.

Враг травит меня всякий день;
как же много воюющих со мной,
о Высочайший^[b]!

Verse 4

My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death have fallen on me.

Когда мне страшно,
я на Тебя полагаюсь.

Verse 5

Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me.

На Всевышнего, Чьё слово я славлю,
на Всевышнего полагаюсь
и не устрашусь:
что может мне сделать смертный?

Verse 6

I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.

А мои враги всякий день искажают слова мои,
всегда замышляют сделать мне зло.

Verse 7

I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;^[c]

Они составляют заговоры, таятся,
наблюдают за каждым моим шагом,
желая меня убить.

Verse 8

I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm.”

Так не дай им избежать наказания за их вину;
в гневе Своём, Всевышний, низложи народы!

Verse 9

Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words,
for I see violence and strife in the city.

У Тебя записаны все скитания мои;
собери мои слёзы в сосуд Свой, –
не в Твоей ли книге они?

Verse 10

Day and night they prowl about on its walls;
malice and abuse are within it.

И враги мои обратятся вспять,
когда я о помощи воззову.
Так я узнаю, что Всевышний со мной.

Verse 11

Destructive forces are at work in the city;
threats and lies never leave its streets.

На Всевышнего, Чьё слово я славлю,
на Вечного, Чьё слово я славлю,

Verse 12

If an enemy were insulting me,
I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
I could hide.

на Всевышнего полагаюсь
и не устрашусь:
что может мне сделать человек?

Verse 13

But it is you, a man like myself,
my companion, my close friend,

Всевышний, я дам Тебе, что обещал;
я принесу Тебе жертвы благодарения.

Verse 14

with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship
at the house of God,
as we walked about
among the worshipers.

Ведь Ты спас меня от смерти
и не дал споткнуться моим ногам,
чтобы мне во свете живых
ходить пред Тобою.

Verse 15

Let death take my enemies by surprise;
let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,
for evil finds lodging among them.
