1 Въ коне́цъ, въ пѣ́снехъ ра́зꙋма, а҆са́фꙋ, ѱало́мъ,
·
2 Внꙋшѝ, бж҃е, моли́твꙋ мою̀ и҆ не пре́зри моле́нїѧ моегѡ̀:
55:1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David. Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
3 вонми́ ми и҆ ᲂу҆слы́ши мѧ̀: возскорбѣ́хъ печа́лїю мое́ю, и҆ смѧто́хсѧ
55:2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan
4 ѿ гла́са вра́жїѧ и҆ ѿ стꙋже́нїѧ грѣ́шнича: ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆клони́ша на мѧ̀ беззако́нїе и҆ во гнѣ́вѣ враждова́хꙋ мѝ.
55:3 because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
5 Се́рдце моѐ смѧте́сѧ во мнѣ̀, и҆ боѧ́знь сме́рти нападѐ на мѧ̀:
55:4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
6 стра́хъ и҆ тре́петъ прїи́де на мѧ̀, и҆ покры́ мѧ тьма̀.
55:5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
7 И҆ рѣ́хъ: кто̀ да́стъ мѝ крилѣ̑ ꙗ҆́кѡ голꙋби̑нѣ; и҆ полещꙋ̀, и҆ почі́ю.
55:6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
8 Сѐ, ᲂу҆дали́хсѧ бѣ́гаѧ и҆ водвори́хсѧ въ пꙋсты́ни.
55:7 Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.
9 Ча́ѧхъ бг҃а сп҃са́ющагѡ мѧ̀ ѿ малодꙋ́шїѧ и҆ ѿ бꙋ́ри.
55:8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
10 Потопѝ, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ раздѣлѝ ѧ҆зы́ки и҆́хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣхъ беззако́нїе и҆ прерѣка́нїе во гра́дѣ.
55:9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
11 Дне́мъ и҆ но́щїю ѡ҆бы́детъ и҆̀ по стѣна́мъ є҆гѡ̀: беззако́нїе и҆ трꙋ́дъ посредѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ непра́вда:
55:10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
12 и҆ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀ ѿ сто́гнъ є҆гѡ̀ ли́хва и҆ ле́сть.
55:11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.
13 Ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бы вра́гъ поноси́лъ мѝ, претерпѣ́лъ бы́хъ ᲂу҆́бѡ: и҆ а҆́ще бы ненави́дѧй мѧ̀ на мѧ̀ велерѣ́чевалъ, ᲂу҆кры́лбыхсѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
55:12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
14 Ты́ же, человѣ́че равнодꙋ́шне, влады́ко мо́й и҆ зна́емый мо́й,
55:13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
15 и҆́же кꙋ́пнѡ наслажда́лсѧ є҆сѝ со мно́ю бра́шенъ: въ домꙋ̀ бж҃їи ходи́хомъ є҆диномышле́нїемъ.
55:14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.
16 Да прїи́детъ же сме́рть на нѧ̀, и҆ да сни́дꙋтъ во а҆́дъ жи́ви: ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋка́вство въ жили́щихъ и҆́хъ, посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ.
55:15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.
17 А҆́зъ къ бг҃ꙋ воззва́хъ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆слы́ша мѧ̀.
55:16 As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.
18 Ве́черъ и҆ заꙋ́тра и҆ полꙋ́дне повѣ́мъ и҆ возвѣщꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ гла́съ мо́й.
55:17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
19 И҆зба́витъ ми́ромъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ ѿ приближа́ющихсѧ мнѣ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ во мно́зѣ бѧ́хꙋ со мно́ю.
55:18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
20 Оу҆слы́шитъ бг҃ъ, и҆ смири́тъ ѧ҆̀ сы́й пре́жде вѣ̑къ: нѣ́сть бо и҆̀мъ и҆змѣне́нїѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ бг҃а.
55:19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. Selah. They never change and don’t fear God.
21 Прострѐ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на воздаѧ́нїе: ѡ҆скверни́ша завѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀.
55:20 He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.
22 Раздѣли́шасѧ ѿ гнѣ́ва лица̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ прибли́жишасѧ сердца̀ и҆́хъ: ᲂу҆мѧ́кнꙋша словеса̀ и҆́хъ па́че є҆ле́а, и҆ та̑ сꙋ́ть стрѣ́лы.
55:21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
23 Возве́рзи на гдⷭ҇а печа́ль твою̀, и҆ то́й тѧ̀ препита́етъ: не да́стъ въ вѣ́къ молвы̀ првⷣникꙋ.
55:22 Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
24 Ты́ же, бж҃е, низведе́ши и҆̀хъ въ стꙋдене́цъ и҆стлѣ́нїѧ: мꙋ́жїе крове́й и҆ льстѝ не преполовѧ́тъ дні́й свои́хъ. А҆́зъ же, гдⷭ҇и, ᲂу҆пова́ю на тѧ̀.
55:23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

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: 55.

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).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LIV)

    The title of this Psalm hath fruit in the prolixity thereof, if it be understood: and because the Psalm is short, let us make up our not having to tarry over the Psalm by tarrying over the title. For upon this dependeth every verse which is sung.

  2. Quotes verse 55:22 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book II, Chapters X–XI)

    This is what the Prophet David proclaimed to us when He said, Cast thy burden on the Lord, and He will sustain thee.
