1-2Небесата проповядват славата на Бога, и за делата на ръцете Му възвестява твърдта. (Пс 96:6; Д А 14:17; Рим 1:20)3Ден на ден реч предава, и нощ на нощ знание открива.4Няма език и няма наречие, дето не би се чувал техният глас.5Техният звук се носи по цяла земя, и техните думи до краищата на вселената. В тях Той е поставил жилище за слънцето, (Рим 10:18)6и то излиза като жених из брачния си чертог, радва се като исполин да измине пътя си:7от края на небесата е изходът му, и шествието му до другия им край, и от неговата топлина нищо се не укрива. (Екл 1:5)8Законът на Господа е съвършен укрепява душата; откровението Господне е вярно – простите прави мъдри. (Пс 11:7)9Господните повеления са праведни веселят сърцето; Господнята заповед е светла – просветлява очите. (Еф 1:18; 2 Пет 1:19)10Страхът Господен е чист – пребъдва навеки. Съдбите Господни са истина всички са праведни;11те са по-желани от злато, и дори от множество чисто злато, по-сладки от мед и капки от вощен мед; (Пс 118:72)12и Твоят раб бива опазван от тях; в тяхното спазване е великата награда.13Кой ще съгледа своите грешки? От моите тайни грехове ме очисти,14и от умишлените удържи раба Си, за да ме не обладаят. Тогава аз ще бъда непорочен и чист от голямо развращение.15Думите на устата ми и помислите на сърцето ми да бъдат благоугодни пред Тебе, Господи, крепост моя и Избавителю мой! (Пс 39:14)
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1I love you, O LORD, my strength.2The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Бит 15:1; Пс 9:9; Пс 18:30; Пс 18:31; Пс 19:14; Пс 31:3; Пс 91:2; Пс 112:9; Пс 144:2; Лк 1:69; Евр 2:13)3I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. (Пс 48:1; Пс 96:4; Пс 113:3; Пс 145:3)4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me;[1] (Пс 32:6; Пс 116:3; Пс 119:61)5the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. (Пс 4:1)6In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears. (Пс 11:4; Пс 66:14; Пс 102:2; Пс 120:1; Йона 2:2)7Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry. (Съд 5:4; Д А 4:31; Д А 16:26)8Smoke went up from his nostrils,[2] and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. (Пс 21:9)9He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. (Изх 20:21; Пс 144:5; Ис 64:1)10He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. (Пс 104:3)11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. (Йов 36:29; Пс 29:3; Пс 97:2)12Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds. (И Н 10:11; Пс 148:8)13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. (1 Цар 2:10; 1 Цар 7:10; Йов 37:4; Пс 29:3; Ис 30:30)14And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings and routed them. (Изх 14:24; Вт 32:23; Вт 32:42; И Н 10:10; Пс 7:13; Пс 64:7; Пс 77:17; Пс 144:6; Ав 3:11)15Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. (Изх 15:8; Йов 36:30; Пс 42:1; Пс 106:9; Йоил 1:20; Наум 1:4)16He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. (Изх 2:10; Йов 22:11; Пс 32:6; Пс 144:7)17He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. (Пс 142:6)18They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.19He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me. (2 Цар 15:26; Пс 18:36; Пс 22:8; Пс 31:8; Пс 118:5)20The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me. (1 Цар 24:19; 1 Цар 26:23; 3 Цар 8:32; Йов 22:30; Пс 7:8)21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. (Бит 18:19; Пр 8:32)22For all his rules[3] were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me. (Пс 119:30; Пс 119:102)23I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt. (Бит 17:1; 3 Цар 14:8)24So the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.25With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; (Мт 5:7)26with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. (Лев 26:23; Лев 26:24; Пс 81:12; Пр 3:34; Д А 7:42; Рим 1:28)27For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down. (Изх 3:7; Пс 101:5)28For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness. (2 Цар 21:17; 3 Цар 11:36; 3 Цар 15:4; 4 Цар 8:19; Пс 132:17)29For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. (2 Цар 5:6; Ис 35:6)30This God—his way is perfect;[4] the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. (Вт 32:4; Пс 12:6; Пс 17:7; Пс 18:2; Дан 4:37; Мт 5:48; Отк 15:3)31For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?— (Пс 2:1; Пс 86:8)32the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. (1 Цар 2:4; Йов 22:3; Пс 101:2; Пс 101:6; Пс 119:1; Ис 45:5)33He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. (Вт 32:13; Ис 58:14; Ав 3:19)34He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. (Пс 144:1)35You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great. (Пс 20:2; Ис 63:9)36You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip. (Пс 18:19; Пс 31:8; Пр 4:12)37I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed.38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.39For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.40You made my enemies turn their backs to me,[5] and those who hated me I destroyed. (Изх 23:27; Пс 21:12)41They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them. (Йов 27:9)42I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets. (4 Цар 13:7; Ис 10:6; Мих 7:10; Зах 10:5)43You delivered me from strife with the people; you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me. (2 Цар 3:1; 2 Цар 19:9; 2 Цар 19:43; 2 Цар 20:1; Пс 2:8; Пс 22:27; Ис 55:5)44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me. (Вт 33:29; Пс 66:3; Пс 81:15; Пс 144:7)45Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses. (Пс 44:1; Мих 7:17)46The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation—47the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me, (Пс 47:3; Пс 144:2; Ис 45:1)48who rescued me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from the man of violence. (Пс 59:1; Пс 140:1)49For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing to your name. (Пс 66:4; Рим 15:9)50Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever. (2 Цар 7:12; 2 Цар 7:13; 2 Цар 7:29; Пс 2:2; Пс 89:29; Пс 144:10)
