1 Въ коне́цъ, да не растли́ши, дв҃дꙋ въ столпописа́нїе,
·
2 А҆́ще вои́стиннꙋ ᲂу҆́бѡ пра́вдꙋ глаго́лете, пра̑ваѧ сꙋди́те, сы́нове человѣ́честїи.
58:1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
3 И҆́бо въ се́рдцы беззако́нїе дѣ́лаете на землѝ, непра́вдꙋ рꙋ́ки ва́шѧ сплета́ютъ.
58:2 No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands on the earth.
4 Ѡ҆чꙋжди́шасѧ грѣ̑шницы ѿ ложе́снъ, заблꙋди́ша ѿ чре́ва, глаго́лаша лжꙋ̀.
58:3 The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
5 Ꙗ҆́рость и҆́хъ по подо́бїю ѕмїинꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́спїда глꙋ́ха и҆ затыка́ющагѡ ᲂу҆́ши своѝ,
58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
6 и҆́же не ᲂу҆слы́шитъ гла́са ѡ҆бава́ющихъ, ѡ҆бава́емь ѡ҆бава́етсѧ ѿ премꙋ́дра.
58:5 which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
7 Бг҃ъ сокрꙋши́тъ зꙋ́бы и҆́хъ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ и҆́хъ: членѡ́вныѧ львѡ́въ сокрꙋши́лъ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь.
58:6 Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
8 Оу҆ничижа́тсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ вода̀ мимотекꙋ́щаѧ: напрѧже́тъ лꙋ́къ сво́й, до́ндеже и҆знемо́гꙋтъ.
58:7 Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
9 Ꙗ҆́кѡ во́скъ раста́ѧвъ ѿи́мꙋтсѧ: падѐ ѻ҆́гнь на ни́хъ, и҆ не ви́дѣша со́лнца.
58:8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
10 Пре́жде є҆́же разꙋмѣ́ти тє́рнїѧ ва́шегѡ ра́мна, ꙗ҆́кѡ жи̑вы, ꙗ҆́кѡ во гнѣ́вѣ пожре́тъ ѧ҆̀.
58:9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
11 Возвесели́тсѧ првⷣникъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дитъ ѿмще́нїе: рꙋ́цѣ своѝ ᲂу҆мы́етъ въ кро́ви грѣ́шника.
58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
12 И҆ рече́тъ человѣ́къ: а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́сть пло́дъ првⷣникꙋ, ᲂу҆̀бо є҆́сть бг҃ъ сꙋдѧ̀ и҆̀мъ на землѝ.
58:11 so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”

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: 58.

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 LVII)

    Because then this Psalm is singing of the Passion of the Lord, see what is the title that it hath: "at the end." The end is Christ. Why hath He been called end? Not as one that consumeth, but one that consummateth....

  2. Quotes verse 58:3 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter X)

    As also David says, "The alienated are sinners from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born." And it was on account of this that he, turning them to their Lord, prepared, in the spirit and power of Elias, a perfect people for the Lord.
