1 Въ коне́цъ, въ пѣ́снехъ, ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ, 2 Внегда̀ призва́ти мѝ, ᲂу҆слы́ша мѧ̀ бг҃ъ пра́вды моеѧ̀: въ ско́рби распространи́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ: ᲂу҆ще́дри мѧ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆слы́ши моли́твꙋ мою̀. 3 Сы́нове человѣ́честїи, доко́лѣ тѧжкосе́рдїи; вскꙋ́ю лю́бите сꙋетꙋ̀ и҆ и҆́щете лжѝ; 4 И҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆дивѝ гдⷭ҇ь прпⷣбнаго своего̀. Гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆слы́шитъ мѧ̀, внегда̀ воззва́ти мѝ къ немꙋ̀. 5 Гнѣ́вайтесѧ, и҆ не согрѣша́йте, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лете въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ, на ло́жахъ ва́шихъ ᲂу҆мили́тесѧ: 6 пожри́те же́ртвꙋ пра́вды и҆ ᲂу҆пова́йте на гдⷭ҇а. 7 Мно́зи глаго́лютъ: кто̀ ꙗ҆ви́тъ на́мъ бл҃га̑ѧ; зна́менасѧ на на́съ свѣ́тъ лица̀ твоегѡ̀, гдⷭ҇и. 8 Да́лъ є҆сѝ весе́лїе въ се́рдцы мое́мъ: ѿ плода̀ пшени́цы, вїна̀ и҆ є҆ле́а своегѡ̀ ᲂу҆мно́жишасѧ: 9 въ ми́рѣ вкꙋ́пѣ ᲂу҆снꙋ̀ и҆ почі́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀, гдⷭ҇и, є҆ди́наго на ᲂу҆пова́нїи всели́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ.

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).
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).
"Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." For this "end" signifies perfection, not consumption. Now it may be a question, whether every Song be a Psalm, or rather every Psalm a Song; whether there are some Songs which cannot be called Psalms, and some Psalms which cannot be called Songs.

When I called upon Thee, Thou didst hear me, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

… "Who will show us any good?" But there, where I was angry with myself in my chamber, where I was inwardly pricked, where I had offered my "sacrifice," slaying my old man, and beginning the resolution of a new life, putting my trust in Thee, --there hadst Thou begun to grow sweet unto me, and to "put gladness in my …
