1От дън душа викам към Тебе, Господи. (Пс 68:2)2Господи, чуй гласа ми. Да бъдат ушите Ти внимателни към гласа на молбите ми.3Господи, ако Ти забелязваш беззаконията – кой ще устои, Господи? (Пс 142:2)4Но в Тебе е прошката, нека благоговеят пред Тебе.5Надявам се на Господа, надява се душата ми; на Неговото слово се уповавам.6Душата ми ожида Господа повече, отколкото стража – утрото, много повече, отколкото стража – утрото. (Ав 2:3)7Нека се уповава Израил на Господа, защото у Господа е милостта, и пълно е у Него избавлението,8и Той ще избави Израиля от всичките му беззакония. (Ис 43:25; Ис 44:22)
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
1Here is what Israel should say. ‘My enemies have treated me badly ever since I was a young nation.2My enemies have treated me badly ever since I was a young nation. But they haven’t won the battle.3They have made deep wounds in my back. It looks like a field a farmer has ploughed.4The LORD does what is right. Sinners had tied me up with ropes. But the LORD has set me free.’5May all those who hate Zion be driven back in shame.6May they be like grass that grows on the roof of a house. It dries up before it can grow.7There isn’t enough of it to fill a person’s hand. There isn’t enough to tie up and carry away.8May no one who passes by say to those who hate Zion, ‘May the blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD.’
