Notes on this text (4)
- Greek and Latin Bibles number most Psalms one lower than Hebrew and English Bibles.
- Psalms are numbered as in the Septuagint (Psalm 50 = Psalm 51 in English Bibles); verse numbers follow the Russian Synodal Bible, where a psalm's title is verse 1 (or 1–2).
- Psalms 13, 71, 92, 127 and 129 divide their verses differently from the Russian Synodal Bible, so a few verse numbers there do not match it; the line "The songs of David, son of Jesse, are ended" opens Psalm 72 (with its title) instead of closing Psalm 71.
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
Psalm 108 in Slavonic = Psalm 109 in WEB.

1 Въ коне́цъ, ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ, Бж҃е, хвалы̀ моеѧ̀ не премолчѝ:
109:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
2 ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ста̀ грѣ̑шнича и҆ ᲂу҆ста̀ льсти́вагѡ на мѧ̀ ѿверзо́шасѧ, глаго́лаша на мѧ̀ ѧ҆зы́комъ льсти́вымъ,
109:2 for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 и҆ словесы̀ ненави́стными ѡ҆быдо́ша мѧ̀, и҆ бра́шасѧ со мно́ю тꙋ́не.
109:3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 Вмѣ́стѡ є҆́же люби́ти мѧ̀, ѡ҆болга́хꙋ мѧ̀, а҆́зъ же молѧ́хсѧ:
109:4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
5 и҆ положи́ша на мѧ̀ ѕла̑ѧ за бл҃га̑ѧ, и҆ не́нависть за возлюбле́нїе моѐ.
109:5 They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Поста́ви на него̀ грѣ́шника, и҆ дїа́волъ да ста́нетъ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю є҆гѡ̀:
109:6 Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7 внегда̀ сꙋди́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀, да и҆зы́детъ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нъ, и҆ моли́тва є҆гѡ̀ да бꙋ́детъ въ грѣ́хъ.
109:7 When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ дні́е є҆гѡ̀ ма́ли, и҆ є҆пі́скопство є҆гѡ̀ да прїи́метъ и҆́нъ:
109:8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
9 да бꙋ́дꙋтъ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ си́ри, и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ вдова̀:
109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 дви́жꙋщесѧ да преселѧ́тсѧ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ и҆ воспро́сѧтъ, да и҆згна́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ и҆з̾ домѡ́въ свои́хъ.
109:10 Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
11 Да взы́щетъ заимода́вецъ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть є҆гѡ̀: и҆ да восхи́тѧтъ чꙋжді́и трꙋды̀ є҆гѡ̀.
109:11 Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
12 Да не бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀ застꙋ́пника, нижѐ да бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆щедрѧ́ѧй сирѡты̀ є҆гѡ̀:
109:12 Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
13 да бꙋ́дꙋтъ ча̑да є҆гѡ̀ въ погꙋбле́нїе, въ ро́дѣ є҆ди́нѣмъ да потреби́тсѧ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀.
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Да воспомѧне́тсѧ беззако́нїе ѻ҆тє́цъ є҆гѡ̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ грѣ́хъ ма́тере є҆гѡ̀ да не ѡ҆чи́ститсѧ:
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 да бꙋ́дꙋтъ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ вы́нꙋ, и҆ да потреби́тсѧ ѿ землѝ па́мѧть и҆́хъ:
109:15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
16 зане́же не помѧнꙋ̀ сотвори́ти ми́лость, и҆ погна̀ человѣ́ка ни́ща и҆ ᲂу҆бо́га, и҆ ᲂу҆миле́на се́рдцемъ ᲂу҆мертви́ти.
109:16 because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
17 И҆ возлюбѝ клѧ́твꙋ, и҆ прїи́детъ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ не восхотѣ̀ блгⷭ҇ве́нїѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆дали́тсѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
109:17 Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 И҆ ѡ҆блече́сѧ въ клѧ́твꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ въ ри́зꙋ, и҆ вни́де ꙗ҆́кѡ вода̀ во ᲂу҆тро́бꙋ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ле́й въ кѡ́сти є҆гѡ̀:
109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
19 да бꙋ́детъ є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ри́за, въ ню́же ѡ҆блачи́тсѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ по́ѧсъ, и҆́мже вы́нꙋ ѡ҆поѧсꙋ́етсѧ.
109:19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
20 Сїѐ дѣ́ло ѡ҆болга́ющихъ мѧ̀ ᲂу҆ гдⷭ҇а и҆ глаго́лющихъ лꙋка̑ваѧ на дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀.
109:20 This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.
21 И҆ ты̀, гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, сотворѝ со мно́ю и҆́мене ра́ди твоегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃га млⷭ҇ть твоѧ̀:
109:21 But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
22 и҆зба́ви мѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни́щь и҆ ᲂу҆бо́гъ є҆́смь а҆́зъ, и҆ се́рдце моѐ смѧте́сѧ внꙋ́трь менє̀.
109:22 for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23 Ꙗ҆́кѡ сѣ́нь, внегда̀ ᲂу҆клони́тисѧ є҆́й, ѿѧ́хсѧ: стрѧсо́хсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ прꙋ́зи.
109:23 I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Кѡлѣ́на моѧ̑ и҆знемого́ста ѿ поста̀, и҆ пло́ть моѧ̀ и҆змѣни́сѧ є҆ле́а ра́ди.
109:24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 И҆ а҆́зъ бы́хъ поноше́нїе и҆̀мъ: ви́дѣша мѧ̀, покива́ша глава́ми свои́ми.
109:25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Помози́ ми, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е мо́й, и҆ сп҃си́ мѧ по млⷭ҇ти твое́й:
109:26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
27 и҆ да разꙋмѣ́ютъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀ сїѧ̀, и҆ ты̀, гдⷭ҇и, сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ ю҆̀.
109:27 that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.
28 Прокленꙋ́тъ ті́и, и҆ ты̀ блгⷭ҇ви́ши: востаю́щїи на мѧ̀ да постыдѧ́тсѧ, ра́бъ же тво́й возвесели́тсѧ.
109:28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
29 Да ѡ҆блекꙋ́тсѧ ѡ҆болга́ющїи мѧ̀ въ срамотꙋ̀ и҆ ѡ҆де́ждꙋтсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆де́ждою стꙋдо́мъ свои́мъ.
109:29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30 И҆сповѣ́мсѧ гдⷭ҇еви ѕѣлѡ̀ ᲂу҆сты̑ мои́ми и҆ посредѣ̀ мно́гихъ восхвалю̀ є҆го̀:
109:30 I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 ꙗ҆́кѡ преста̀ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю ᲂу҆бо́гагѡ, є҆́же спⷭ҇тѝ ѿ гонѧ́щихъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀.
109:31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

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). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 109.
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).
I have not thought that the CVIII^th Psalm required an exposition; since I have already expounded it in the LVII^th Psalm, and in the LX^th, of the last divisions of which this Psalm consisteth.

… Judas to be, after being separated from her Enthymesis, was restored or recalled [to her former position]; but Judas was deprived [of his office], and cast out, while Matthias was ordained in his place, according to what is written, "And his bishopric let another take." They ought therefore to maintain that the twelfth Æon was cast out of the Pleroma, …

O God, pass not over My praise in silence; for the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth of the deceitful, are opened against Me; they have spoken against Me with a treacherous tongue, they have compassed Me about also with words of hatred.
