1Дирижеру хора. На мотив«О голубке в дальней дубраве». Мольба Давида, когда филистимляне схватили его в Гате[1]. (1Sam 21,10; 1Sam 27,1)2Боже, помилуй меня, потому что люди меня затравили; всякий день, нападая, меня теснят.3Враг травит меня весь день; много тех, кто против меня воюет[2], о Всевышний.4Когда мне страшно, я на Тебя полагаюсь.5На Бога, Чье слово я славлю, на Бога полагаюсь и не устрашусь: что может мне сделать смертный?6А они весь день искажают слова мои, всегда замышляют сделать мне зло.7Составляют заговоры, таятся, наблюдают за каждым моим шагом, желая меня убить.8Так не дай им избежать наказания за их вину; в гневе Своем, Боже, низложи народы!9У Тебя записаны все скитания мои; собери мои слезы в сосуд Свой, – не в Твоей ли книге они?10И враги мои обратятся вспять, когда я о помощи воззову. Так я узнаю, что Бог со мной.11На Бога, Чье слово я славлю, на Господа, Чье слово я славлю,12на Бога полагаюсь, и не устрашусь: что может мне сделать человек?13Боже, я дам Тебе, что обещал, я принесу Тебе жертвы благодарения.14Ведь Ты меня спас от смерти и не дал споткнуться моим ногам, чтобы мне во свете живых ходить пред Тобою.
Psalm 55
English Standard Version
Cast Your Burden on the Lord
1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil[1] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! (Ps 4,1; Ps 54,2; Ps 61,1; Ps 86,6)2Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan, (Ps 55,17; Ps 64,1; Jes 38,14; Jes 59,11)3because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me. (2Sam 16,7)4My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. (Ps 116,3)5Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. (Hi 21,6; Ps 78,53; Jes 21,4; Hes 7,18)6And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;7yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; (Jer 9,2)8I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.” (Ps 83,15)9Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city. (1Mo 11,9; Jer 6,7)10Day and night they go around it on its walls, and iniquity and trouble are within it; (Ps 5,9)11ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace. (Ps 10,7)12For it is not an enemy who taunts me— then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me— then I could hide from him. (Hi 19,5)13But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. (2Sam 15,12; 2Sam 16,23; Ps 41,9)14We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng. (Ps 42,4)15Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart. (4Mo 16,30; 4Mo 16,33; Ps 124,3; Spr 1,12)16But I call to God, and the Lord will save me.17Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice. (Ps 5,3; Ps 55,2; Ps 88,13; Ps 92,2; Ps 141,2; Dan 6,10; Apg 3,1; Apg 10,3; Apg 10,9; Apg 10,30)18He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me. (Ps 56,2)19God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, because they do not change and do not fear God. (5Mo 33,27; Hi 10,17; Hi 21,7)20My companion[2] stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant. (Apg 12,1)21His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. (Ps 28,3; Ps 57,4; Spr 5,3)22Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. (Ps 10,6; Ps 37,5)23But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you. (Hi 15,32; Ps 5,6; Ps 11,1; Ps 55,15; Ps 56,7; Ps 59,11; Ps 69,15; Ps 94,13; Spr 10,27)
