1 Пѣ́снь степе́ней, Гдⷭ҇и, не вознесе́сѧ се́рдце моѐ, нижѐ вознесо́стѣсѧ ѻ҆́чи моѝ: нижѐ ходи́хъ въ вели́кихъ, нижѐ въ ди́вныхъ па́че менє̀. 2 А҆́ще не смиреномꙋ́дрствовахъ, но вознесо́хъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿдое́ное на ма́терь свою̀, та́кѡ возда́си на дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀. 3 Да ᲂу҆пова́етъ і҆и҃ль на гдⷭ҇а ѿнн҃ѣ и҆ до вѣ́ка.

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: 131.
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).
(ver. 1). Jonas cried from the deep; from the whale's belly. He was not only beneath the waves, but also in the entrails of the beast; nevertheless, those waves and that body prevented not his prayer from reaching God, and the beast's belly could not contain the voice of his prayer.
