от Biblica1Дирижеру хора. На мотив«Не погуби». Псалом Асафа. Песнь.2Благодарим Тебя, Боже, благодарим, потому что близко Твое имя; возвещают люди чудеса Твои.3Ты сказал: «В назначенный срок Я буду судить справедливо.4Когда колеблется земля и все живущие на ней, Я удерживаю ее на столпах ее». Пауза5Я сказал гордецам: «Не превозноситесь» – и нечестивым: «Не поднимайте рога[1].6Не кичитесь своей мощью перед небом, не говорите надменно».7Ни с востока, ни с запада, ни с пустыни не стоит ожидать возвышения.8Но Бог – судья: Он одного унижает, а другого возвышает.9В руке Господа – чаша с кипящим вином, полным горьких приправ, и Он льет из нее. Всем беззаконным земли придется испить чашу эту до дна.10Я буду возвещать это вечно, буду воспевать Бога Иакова,11«Все роги нечестивых сломлю, и вознесутся роги праведных».
1A Maskil[1] of Asaph. O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? (Втор 29:20; Пс 18:8; Пс 44:9; Пс 50:1; Пс 79:13; Пс 95:7; Пс 100:3; Иер 23:1; Иез 34:31)2Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt. (Исх 15:16; Втор 32:6; Пс 9:11; Пс 74:18; Пс 74:22; Пс 77:15; Пс 78:54; Ис 63:9; Ис 63:17; Иер 10:16; Иер 51:19)3Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary! (Ис 61:4)4Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they set up their own signs for signs. (Чис 2:2; Пс 74:9; Плач 2:6; Мф 24:15)5They were like those who swing axes in a forest of trees.[2] (Иер 46:22)6And all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers. (3Цар 6:18; 3Цар 6:29; 3Цар 6:32; 3Цар 6:35)7They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground. (4Цар 25:9; Пс 26:8; Пс 79:1; Пс 89:39; Плач 2:2)8They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land. (Пс 83:4)9We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long. (1Цар 3:1; Пс 74:4; Плач 2:9; Иез 7:26; Ам 8:11)10How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever? (Пс 74:18; Пс 74:22; Пс 79:12; Пс 89:51)11Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the fold of your garment[3] and destroy them! (Плач 2:3)12Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. (Пс 44:4)13You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters[4] on the waters. (Исх 14:21; Ис 27:1; Ис 51:9)14You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. (Иов 41:1)15You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams. (Исх 14:21; Исх 17:5; Чис 20:11; Нав 2:10; Нав 3:13; Нав 4:23; Пс 66:6; Пс 78:15; Пс 105:41; Ис 48:21; Ис 51:10)16Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. (Быт 1:14; Пс 104:19)17You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter. (Быт 8:22; Втор 32:8; Деян 17:26)18Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and a foolish people reviles your name. (Втор 32:6; Пс 39:8; Пс 74:2; Пс 74:22; Пс 89:50; Откр 16:19; Откр 18:5)19Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever. (Пс 68:10; Песн 2:14)20Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence. (Быт 17:7; Лев 26:44; Пс 10:8; Пс 106:45; Иер 33:21)21Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name. (Пс 6:10; Пс 9:9; Пс 10:18; Пс 86:1)22Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day! (1Цар 24:15; Пс 74:2; Пс 74:18)23Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually! (Пс 65:7)
