Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Трꙋжда́юсѧ дꙋше́ю мое́ю, стенѧ̀ и҆спꙋщꙋ̀ на мѧ̀ глаго́лы моѧ̑, возглаго́лю го́рестїю дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀ ѡ҆держи́мь
1 “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 и҆ рекꙋ̀ ко гдⷭ҇еви: не ᲂу҆чи́ мѧ нече́ствовати, и҆ почто́ ми си́це сꙋди́лъ є҆сѝ;
2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
3 и҆лѝ добро́ ти є҆́сть, а҆́ще вознепра́вдꙋю, ꙗ҆́кѡ презрѣ́лъ є҆сѝ дѣла̀ рꙋкꙋ̀ твоє́ю, совѣ́тꙋ же нечести́выхъ внѧ́лъ є҆сѝ;
3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже человѣ́къ ви́дитъ, ви́диши; и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже зри́тъ человѣ́къ, ᲂу҆́зриши;
4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
5 и҆лѝ житїѐ твоѐ человѣ́ческо є҆́сть; и҆лѝ лѣ̑та твоѧ̑ ꙗ҆́кѡ дні́е мꙋ́жа;
5 Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
6 ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆стѧза́лъ є҆сѝ беззако́нїе моѐ и҆ грѣхѝ моѧ̑ и҆зслѣ́дилъ є҆сѝ.
6 that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 Вѣ́си бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ не нече́ствовахъ: но кто̀ є҆́сть и҆з̾има́ѧй и҆з̾ рꙋкꙋ̀ твоє́ю;
7 Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 Рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ сотвори́стѣ мѧ̀ и҆ созда́стѣ мѧ̀: пото́мъ же преложи́въ, порази́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ.
8 “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
9 Помѧнѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бре́нїе мѧ̀ созда́лъ є҆сѝ, въ зе́млю же па́ки возвраща́еши мѧ̀.
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
10 И҆лѝ не ꙗ҆́коже млеко̀ и҆змелзи́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, ᲂу҆сыри́лъ же мѧ̀ є҆сѝ ра́внѡ сы́рꙋ;
10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Ко́жею же и҆ пло́тїю мѧ̀ ѡ҆бле́клъ є҆сѝ, костьми́ же и҆ жи́лами сши́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ:
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 живо́тъ же и҆ ми́лость положи́лъ є҆сѝ ᲂу҆ менє̀, посѣще́нїе же твоѐ сохранѝ мо́й дꙋ́хъ.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 Сїѧ̑ и҆мѣ́ѧй въ тебѣ̀, вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ мо́жеши, и҆ невозмо́жно тебѣ̀ ничто́же.
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
14 А҆́ще бо согрѣшꙋ̀, храни́ши мѧ̀, ѿ беззако́нїѧ же не безви́нна мѧ̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ.
14 if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 А҆́ще бо нечести́въ бꙋ́дꙋ, лю́тѣ мнѣ̀, а҆́ще же бꙋ́дꙋ пра́веденъ, не могꙋ̀ возни́кнꙋти: и҆спо́лненъ бо є҆́смь безче́стїѧ,
15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
16 лови́мь бо є҆́смь а҆́ки ле́въ на ᲂу҆бїе́нїе: па́ки же преложи́въ, лю́тѣ ᲂу҆бива́еши мѧ̀.
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 Ѡ҆бновлѧ́ѧй на мѧ̀ и҆спыта́нїе моѐ, гнѣ́ва бо вели́кагѡ на мѧ̀ ᲂу҆потреби́лъ є҆сѝ и҆ наве́лъ є҆сѝ на мѧ̀ и҆скꙋшє́нїѧ.
17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
18 Почто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо мѧ̀ и҆з̾ чре́ва и҆зве́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ не ᲂу҆мро́хъ, ѻ҆́ко же менѐ не ви́дѣло бы,
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
19 и҆ бы́хъ бы а҆́ки не бы́лъ; почто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆з̾ чре́ва во гро́бъ не снидо́хъ;
19 I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 и҆лѝ не ма́ло є҆́сть вре́мѧ жи́зни моеѧ̀; ѡ҆ста́ви менѐ почи́ти ма́лѡ,
20 Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 пре́жде да́же ѿидꙋ̀, ѿню́дꙋже не возвращꙋ́сѧ, въ зе́млю те́мнꙋ и҆ мра́чнꙋ,
21 before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 въ зе́млю тьмы̀ вѣ́чныѧ, и҆дѣ́же нѣ́сть свѣ́та, нижѐ ви́дѣти живота̀ человѣ́ческагѡ.
22 the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Who knitted us with sinews and bones, and clothed us with skin and flesh, and, as soon as the child was born, brought streams of milk out of the breasts?
