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 113 in Slavonic = Psalm 114 and Psalm 115 in WEB.

1 (А҆ллилꙋ́їа.) Во и҆схо́дѣ і҆и҃левѣ ѿ є҆гѵ́пта, до́мꙋ і҆а́кѡвлѧ и҆з̾ люді́й ва̑рваръ,
114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
2 бы́сть і҆ꙋде́а ст҃ы́нѧ є҆гѡ̀, і҆и҃ль ѡ҆́бласть є҆гѡ̀.
114:2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Мо́ре ви́дѣ и҆ побѣжѐ, і҆ѻрда́нъ возврати́сѧ вспѧ́ть:
114:3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 го́ры взыгра́шасѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆внѝ, и҆ хо́лми ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнцы ѻ҆́вчїи.
114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 Что́ ти є҆́сть, мо́ре, ꙗ҆́кѡ побѣ́гло є҆сѝ, и҆ тебѣ̀, і҆ѻрда́не, ꙗ҆́кѡ возврати́лсѧ є҆сѝ вспѧ́ть;
114:5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 го́ры, ꙗ҆́кѡ взыгра́стесѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆внѝ, и҆ хо́лми ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнцы ѻ҆́вчїи;
114:6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
7 Ѿ лица̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ подви́жесѧ землѧ̀, ѿ лица̀ бг҃а і҆а́кѡвлѧ:
114:7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 ѡ҆бра́щшагѡ ка́мень во є҆зе́ра вѡдна́ѧ и҆ несѣко́мый во и҆сто́чники вѡдны́ѧ.
114:8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
9 Не на́мъ, гдⷭ҇и, не на́мъ, но и҆́мени твоемꙋ̀ да́ждь сла́вꙋ ѡ҆ млⷭ҇ти твое́й и҆ и҆́стинѣ твое́й:
115:1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
10 да не когда̀ рекꙋ́тъ ꙗ҆зы́цы: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть бг҃ъ и҆́хъ;
115:2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
11 Бг҃ъ же на́шъ на нб҃сѝ и҆ на землѝ, всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка восхотѣ̀, сотворѝ.
115:3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
12 І҆́дѡли ꙗ҆зы̑къ сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, дѣла̀ рꙋ́къ человѣ́ческихъ:
115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
13 ᲂу҆ста̀ и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ не возглаго́лютъ: ѻ҆́чи и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ:
115:5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
14 ᲂу҆́шы и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆слы́шатъ: нѡ́здри и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ не ѡ҆бонѧ́ютъ:
115:6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
15 рꙋ́цѣ и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ не ѡ҆сѧ́жꙋтъ: но́зѣ и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ не по́йдꙋтъ: не возгласѧ́тъ горта́немъ свои́мъ.
115:7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
16 Подо́бни и҆̀мъ да бꙋ́дꙋтъ творѧ́щїи ѧ҆̀ и҆ всѝ надѣ́ющїисѧ на нѧ̀.
115:8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
17 До́мъ і҆и҃левъ ᲂу҆пова̀ на гдⷭ҇а: помо́щникъ и҆ защи́титель и҆̀мъ є҆́сть.
115:9 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
18 До́мъ а҆арѡ́нь ᲂу҆пова̀ на гдⷭ҇а: помо́щникъ и҆ защи́титель и҆̀мъ є҆́сть.
115:10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
19 Боѧ́щїисѧ гдⷭ҇а ᲂу҆пова́ша на гдⷭ҇а: помо́щникъ и҆ защи́титель и҆̀мъ є҆́сть.
115:11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
20 Гдⷭ҇ь помѧнꙋ́въ ны̀ блгⷭ҇ви́лъ є҆́сть на́съ: блгⷭ҇ви́лъ є҆́сть до́мъ і҆и҃левъ, блгⷭ҇ви́лъ є҆́сть до́мъ а҆арѡ́нь,
115:12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
21 блгⷭ҇ви́лъ є҆́сть боѧ́щыѧсѧ гдⷭ҇а, ма̑лыѧ съ вели́кими.
115:13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
22 Да приложи́тъ гдⷭ҇ь на вы̀, на вы̀ и҆ на сы́ны ва́шѧ:
115:14 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
23 бл҃гослове́ни вы̀ гдⷭ҇еви, сотво́ршемꙋ нб҃о и҆ зе́млю.
115:15 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
24 Нб҃о нб҃сѐ гдⷭ҇еви, зе́млю же дадѐ сыновѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ.
115:16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
25 Не ме́ртвїи восхва́лѧтъ тѧ̀, гдⷭ҇и, нижѐ всѝ низходѧ́щїи во а҆́дъ:
115:17 The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence,
26 но мы̀ живі́и благослови́мъ гдⷭ҇а ѿнн҃ѣ и҆ до вѣ́ка.
115:18 but we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!

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: 114, 115.
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).
When ye hear sung in the Psalms, "Praise the Lord, ye children" (ver. 1); imagine not that that exhortation pertaineth not unto you, because having already passed the youth of the body, ye are either blooming in the prime of manhood, or growing gray with the honours of old age: for unto all of you the Apostle saith, "Brethren, be …

Since then before His appearance in flesh, the sea saw Him and fled, and Jordan was turned back, the Lord took to Himself His body, that the sea might endure the sight, and Jordan receive Him without fear.

… instance, "The Sea said" so and so; and, "The Depth saith, It is not in me;" and "The Heavens declare the glory of God;" and again a command is given to the Sword; and the Mountains and Hills are asked the reason of their skipping. We do not allege any of these, though some of our predecessors used them as …

For the Scripture is familiar with the figure of personification, and is wont to speak of inanimate things as though they were animate: for example, The sea saw it and fled: Jordan was driven back.
