1A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
1Те, кто надеется на Вечного, – как гора Сион: не поколеблются, пребудут вовеки.2Как горы окружают Иерусалим, так Вечный окружает Свой народ отныне и вовеки.3Не вечно власти нечестивых быть на земле, принадлежащей праведным, иначе праведные, по их примеру, сами станут творить беззаконие.4Будь добр, Вечный, к добрым и правым в сердцах своих.5Но тех, кто следует кривыми путями, да отвергнет Вечный вместе со злодеями. Мир Исраилу!
