1 Въ коне́цъ, ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ, И҆зми́ мѧ, гдⷭ҇и, ѿ человѣ́ка лꙋка́ва, ѿ мꙋ́жа непра́ведна и҆зба́ви мѧ̀:
·
2 и҆̀же помы́слиша непра́вдꙋ въ се́рдцы, ве́сь де́нь ѡ҆полча́хꙋ бра̑ни:
140:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, Yahweh, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
3 и҆з̾ѡстри́ша ѧ҆зы́къ сво́й ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕмїи́нъ: ꙗ҆́дъ а҆́спїдовъ под̾ ᲂу҆стна́ми и҆́хъ.
140:2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
4 Сохрани́ мѧ, гдⷭ҇и, и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ грѣ́шничи, ѿ человѣ̑къ непра́ведныхъ и҆зми́ мѧ, и҆̀же помы́слиша запѧ́ти стѡпы̀ моѧ̑.
140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.
5 Скры́ша го́рдїи сѣ́ть мнѣ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆́жы, препѧ́ша сѣ́ть нога́ма мои́ма:
140:4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
6 при стезѝ собла́зны положи́ша мѝ.
140:5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
7 Рѣ́хъ гдⷭ҇еви: бг҃ъ мо́й є҆сѝ ты̀, внꙋшѝ, гдⷭ҇и, гла́съ моле́нїѧ моегѡ̀.
140:6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
8 Гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, си́ло спⷭ҇нїѧ моегѡ̀, ѡ҆сѣни́лъ є҆сѝ над̾ главо́ю мое́ю въ де́нь бра́ни.
140:7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
9 Не преда́ждь менѐ, гдⷭ҇и, ѿ жела́нїѧ моегѡ̀ грѣ́шникꙋ: помы́слиша на мѧ̀, не ѡ҆ста́ви менѐ, да не когда̀ вознесꙋ́тсѧ.
140:8 Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.
10 Глава̀ ѡ҆крꙋже́нїѧ и҆́хъ, трꙋ́дъ ᲂу҆сте́нъ и҆́хъ покры́етъ ѧ҆̀.
140:9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
11 Падꙋ́тъ на ни́хъ ᲂу҆́глїѧ ѻ҆́гнєннаѧ, низложи́ши ѧ҆̀ во страсте́хъ, и҆ не постоѧ́тъ.
140:10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
12 Мꙋ́жъ ѧ҆зы́ченъ не и҆спра́витсѧ на землѝ: мꙋ́жа непра́ведна ѕла̑ѧ ᲂу҆ловѧ́тъ во и҆стлѣ́нїе.
140:11 An evil speaker won’t be established on the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
13 Позна́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́тъ гдⷭ҇ь сꙋ́дъ ни́щымъ и҆ ме́сть ᲂу҆бѡ́гимъ.
140:12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
14 Ѻ҆ба́че првⷣнїи и҆сповѣ́дѧтсѧ и҆́мени твоемꙋ̀, и҆ вселѧ́тсѧ пра́вїи съ лице́мъ твои́мъ.
140:13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

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: 140.

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).

    Our Lord Jesus Christ speaketh in the Prophets, sometimes in His own Name, sometimes in ours, because He maketh Himself one with us; as it is said, "they twain shall be one flesh." Wherefore also the Lord saith in the Gospel, speaking of marriage, "therefore they are no more twain, but one flesh." One flesh, because of our mortality He …
