1 Пѣ́снь степе́ней, Мно́жицею бра́шасѧ со мно́ю ѿ ю҆́ности моеѧ̀, да рече́тъ ᲂу҆́бѡ і҆и҃ль: 2 мно́жицею бра́шасѧ со мно́ю ѿ ю҆́ности моеѧ̀, и҆́бо не премого́ша мѧ̀. 3 На хребтѣ̀ мое́мъ дѣ́лаша грѣ̑шницы, продолжи́ша беззако́нїе своѐ. 4 Гдⷭ҇ь првⷣнъ ссѣчѐ вы̑ѧ грѣ́шникѡвъ. 5 Да постыдѧ́тсѧ и҆ возвратѧ́тсѧ вспѧ́ть всѝ ненави́дѧщїи сїѡ́на: 6 да бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́кѡ трава̀ на здѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́же пре́жде восторже́нїѧ и҆́зсше: 7 є҆́юже не и҆спо́лни рꙋкѝ своеѧ̀ жнѧ́й, и҆ нѣ́дра своегѡ̀ рꙋкоѧ̑ти собира́ѧй: 8 и҆ не рѣ́ша мимоходѧ́щїи: блгⷭ҇ве́нїе гдⷭ҇не на вы̀, благослови́хомъ вы̀ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не.

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).

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: 129.
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).
Felix the Martyr, truly Felix, i.e. "Happy" both in his name and his crown, whose birthday this is, despised the world. Was he, because he feared the Lord, thence happy, thence blessed, because his wife was as a fruitful vine upon the earth, and his children stood around his table?
