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).

1 Въ коне́цъ, ѡ҆ і҆дїѳꙋ́мѣ, ѱало́мъ а҆са́фꙋ,

2 Гла́сомъ мои́мъ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ воззва́хъ, гла́сомъ мои́мъ къ бг҃ꙋ, и҆ внѧ́тъ мѝ.

77:1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

3 Въ де́нь ско́рби моеѧ̀ бг҃а взыска́хъ рꙋка́ма мои́ма, но́щїю пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ не прельще́нъ бы́хъ: ѿве́ржесѧ ᲂу҆тѣ́шитисѧ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀.

77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

4 Помѧнꙋ́хъ бг҃а и҆ возвесели́хсѧ, поглꙋмлѧ́хсѧ, и҆ малодꙋ́шствоваше дꙋ́хъ мо́й.

77:3 I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.

5 Предвари́стѣ стражбы̑ ѻ҆́чи моѝ: смѧто́хсѧ и҆ не глаго́лахъ.

77:4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

6 Помы́слихъ дни̑ пє́рвыѧ, и҆ лѣ̑та вѣ̑чнаѧ помѧнꙋ́хъ, и҆ поꙋча́хсѧ:

77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

7 но́щїю се́рдцемъ мои́мъ глꙋмлѧ́хсѧ, и҆ тꙋжа́ше дꙋ́хъ мо́й:

77:6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

8 є҆да̀ во вѣ́ки ѿри́нетъ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ не приложи́тъ бл҃говоли́ти па́ки;

77:7 “Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

9 и҆лѝ до конца̀ млⷭ҇ть свою̀ ѿсѣче́тъ, сконча̀ гл҃го́лъ ѿ ро́да въ ро́дъ;

77:8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

10 є҆да̀ забꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆ще́дрити бг҃ъ; и҆лѝ ᲂу҆держи́тъ во гнѣ́вѣ свое́мъ щедрѡ́ты своѧ̑;

77:9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.

11 И҆ рѣ́хъ: нн҃ѣ нача́хъ, сїѧ̀ и҆змѣ́на десни́цы вы́шнѧгѡ.

77:10 Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

12 Помѧнꙋ́хъ дѣла̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ помѧнꙋ̀ ѿ нача́ла чꙋдеса̀ твоѧ̑,

77:11 I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

13 и҆ поꙋчꙋ́сѧ во всѣ́хъ дѣ́лѣхъ твои́хъ, и҆ въ начина́нїихъ твои́хъ поглꙋмлю́сѧ.

77:12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

14 Бж҃е, во ст҃ѣ́мъ пꙋ́ть тво́й: кто̀ бг҃ъ ве́лїй, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ на́шъ;

77:13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

15 Ты̀ є҆сѝ бг҃ъ творѧ́й чꙋдеса̀: сказа́лъ є҆сѝ въ лю́дехъ си́лꙋ твою̀,

77:14 You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

16 и҆зба́вилъ є҆сѝ мы́шцею твое́ю лю́ди твоѧ̑, сы́ны і҆а̑кѡвли и҆ і҆ѡ́сифѡвы.

77:15 You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

17 Ви́дѣша тѧ̀ во́ды, бж҃е, ви́дѣша тѧ̀ во́ды и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ: смѧто́шасѧ бє́здны.

77:16 The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

18 Мно́жество шꙋ́ма во́дъ: гла́съ да́ша ѡ҆́блацы, и҆́бо стрѣ́лы твоѧ̑ прехо́дѧтъ.

77:17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

19 Гла́съ гро́ма твоегѡ̀ въ колесѝ, ѡ҆свѣти́ша мѡ́лнїѧ твоѧ̑ вселе́ннꙋю: подви́жесѧ и҆ тре́петна бы́сть землѧ̀.

77:18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

20 Въ мо́ри пꙋтїѐ твоѝ, и҆ стєзѝ твоѧ̑ въ вода́хъ мно́гихъ, и҆ слѣды̀ твоѝ не позна́ютсѧ.

77:19 Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

21 Наста́вилъ є҆сѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы лю́ди твоѧ̑ рꙋко́ю мѡѷсе́овою и҆ а҆арѡ́нею.

77:20 You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

“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).

Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXVI)
The Jews are wont to glory in this Psalm which we have sung, saying, "Known in Judæa is God, in Israel great is the name of Him:" and to revile the Gentiles to whom God is not known, and to say that to themselves alone God is known; seeing that the Prophet saith, "Known in Judæa is God." In other …
