1 Въ коне́цъ, ѡ҆ та́йныхъ сы́на, ѱало́мъ дв҃дꙋ.

2 И҆сповѣ́мсѧ тебѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и, всѣ́мъ се́рдцемъ мои́мъ, повѣ́мъ всѧ̑ чꙋдеса̀ твоѧ̑.
1 Al Músico principal: sobre Muth-labben: Salmo de David. TE alabaré, oh Jehová, con todo mi corazón; contaré todas tus maravillas.
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
3 Возвеселю́сѧ и҆ возра́дꙋюсѧ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀, пою̀ и҆́мени твоемꙋ̀, вы́шнїй.
2 Alegraréme y regocijaréme en ti: cantaré á tu nombre, oh Altísimo;
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
4 Внегда̀ возврати́тисѧ врагꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ вспѧ́ть, и҆знемо́гꙋтъ и҆ поги́бнꙋтъ ѿ лица̀ твоегѡ̀.
3 Por haber sido mis enemigos vueltos atrás: caerán y perecerán delante de ti.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
5 Ꙗ҆́кѡ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ сꙋ́дъ мо́й и҆ прю̀ мою̀: сѣ́лъ є҆сѝ на прⷭ҇то́лѣ, сꙋдѧ́й пра́вдꙋ.
4 Porque has hecho mi juicio y mi causa: sentástete en silla juzgando justicia.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
6 Запрети́лъ є҆сѝ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, и҆ поги́бе нечести́вый: и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ потреби́лъ є҆сѝ въ вѣ́къ и҆ въ вѣ́къ вѣ́ка.
5 Reprendiste gentes, destruiste al malo, raíste el nombre de ellos para siempre jamás.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
7 Врагꙋ̀ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ въ коне́цъ, и҆ гра́ды разрꙋши́лъ є҆сѝ: поги́бе па́мѧть є҆гѡ̀ съ шꙋ́момъ.
6 Oh enemigo, acabados son para siempre los asolamientos; y las ciudades que derribaste, su memoria pereció con ellas.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
8 И҆ гдⷭ҇ь во вѣ́къ пребыва́етъ, ᲂу҆гото́ва на сꙋ́дъ прⷭ҇то́лъ сво́й:
7 Mas Jehová permanecerá para siempre: dispuesto ha su trono para juicio.
7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9 и҆ то́й сꙋди́ти и҆́мать вселе́ннѣй въ пра́вдꙋ, сꙋди́ти и҆́мать лю́демъ въ правотѣ̀.
8 Y él juzgará el mundo con justicia; y juzgará los pueblos con rectitud.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
10 И҆ бы́сть гдⷭ҇ь прибѣ́жище ᲂу҆бо́гомꙋ, помо́щникъ во бл҃говре́менїихъ, въ ско́рбехъ.
9 Y será Jehová refugio al pobre, refugio para el tiempo de angustia.
9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
11 И҆ да ᲂу҆пова́ютъ на тѧ̀ зна́ющїи и҆́мѧ твоѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ста́вилъ є҆сѝ взыска́ющихъ тѧ̀, гдⷭ҇и.
10 Y en ti confiarán los que conocen tu nombre; por cuanto tú, oh Jehová, no desamparaste á los que te buscaron.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
12 По́йте гдⷭ҇еви, живꙋ́щемꙋ въ сїѡ́нѣ, возвѣсти́те во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ начина̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀:
11 Cantad á Jehová, que habita en Sión: noticiad en los pueblos sus obras.
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
13 ꙗ҆́кѡ взыска́ѧй крѡ́ви и҆́хъ помѧнꙋ̀, не забы̀ зва́нїѧ ᲂу҆бо́гихъ.
12 Porque demandando la sangre se acordó de ellos: no se olvidó del clamor de los pobres.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
14 Поми́лꙋй мѧ̀, гдⷭ҇и, ви́ждь смире́нїе моѐ ѿ вра̑гъ мои́хъ, возносѧ́й мѧ̀ ѿ вра́тъ сме́ртныхъ:
13 Ten misericordia de mí, Jehová: mira mi aflicción [que padezco] de los que me aborrecen, tú que me levantas de las puertas de la muerte;
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
15 ꙗ҆́кѡ да возвѣщꙋ̀ всѧ̑ хвалы̑ твоѧ̑ во вратѣ́хъ дще́ре сїѡ́ни: возра́дꙋемсѧ ѡ҆ спⷭ҇нїи твое́мъ.
14 Porque cuente yo todas tus alabanzas en las puertas de la hija de Sión, [y] me goce en tu salud.
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
16 Оу҆глѣбо́ша ꙗ҆зы́цы въ па́гꙋбѣ, ю҆́же сотвори́ша: въ сѣ́ти се́й, ю҆́же скры́ша, ᲂу҆вѧзѐ нога̀ и҆́хъ.
15 Hundiéronse las gentes en la fosa que hicieron; en la red que escondieron fué tomado su pie.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
17 Зна́емь є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь, сꙋдьбы̑ творѧ́й: въ дѣ́лѣхъ рꙋкꙋ̀ своє́ю ᲂу҆вѧзѐ грѣ́шникъ.
16 Jehová fué conocido [en] el juicio que hizo; en la obra de sus manos fué enlazado el malo. (Higaion. Selah.)
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
18 Да возвратѧ́тсѧ грѣ̑шницы во а҆́дъ, всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы забыва́ющїи бг҃а.
17 Los malos serán trasladados al infierno, todas las gentes que se olvidan de Dios.
17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
19 Ꙗ҆́кѡ не до конца̀ забве́нъ бꙋ́детъ ни́щїй, терпѣ́нїе ᲂу҆бо́гихъ не поги́бнетъ до конца̀.
18 Porque no para siempre será olvidado el pobre; ni la esperanza de los pobres perecerá perpetuamente.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
20 Воскрⷭ҇нѝ, гдⷭ҇и, да не крѣпи́тсѧ человѣ́къ, да сꙋ́дѧтсѧ ꙗ҆зы́цы пред̾ тобо́ю.
19 Levántate, oh Jehová; no se fortalezca el hombre; sean juzgadas las gentes delante de ti.
19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
21 Поста́ви, гдⷭ҇и, законоположи́телѧ над̾ ни́ми, да разꙋмѣ́ютъ ꙗ҆зы́цы, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́цы сꙋ́ть.
20 Pon, oh Jehová, temor en ellos: conozcan las gentes que son no más que hombres. (Selah.)
20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
22 Вскꙋ́ю, гдⷭ҇и, ѿстоѧ̀ дале́че, презира́еши во бл҃говре́менїихъ, въ ско́рбехъ;
10:1 ¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
10:1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
23 Внегда̀ горди́тисѧ нечести́вомꙋ, возгара́етсѧ ни́щїй: ᲂу҆вѧза́ютъ въ совѣ́тѣхъ, ꙗ҆̀же помышлѧ́ютъ.
10:2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
10:2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
24 Ꙗ҆́кѡ хвали́мь є҆́сть грѣ́шный въ по́хотехъ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀, и҆ ѡ҆би́дѧй благослови́мь є҆́сть.
10:3 Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, [á quien] Jehová aborrece.
10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
25 Раздражѝ гдⷭ҇а грѣ́шный: по мно́жествꙋ гнѣ́ва своегѡ̀ не взы́щетъ: нѣ́сть бг҃а пред̾ ни́мъ.
10:4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca [á Dios]: no hay Dios [en] todos sus pensamientos.
10:4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
26 Ѡ҆сквернѧ́ютсѧ пꙋтїѐ є҆гѡ̀ на всѧ́ко вре́мѧ: ѿе́млютсѧ сꙋдьбы̑ твоѧ̑ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀: всѣ́ми враги̑ свои́ми ѡ҆блада́етъ.
10:5 Sus caminos son viciosos en todo tiempo: tus juicios [los tiene] muy lejos de su vista: echa bocanadas en [orden á] todos sus enemigos.
10:5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
27 Рече́ бо въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: не подви́жꙋсѧ ѿ ро́да въ ро́дъ без̾ ѕла̀:
10:6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás [me alcanzará] el infortunio.
10:6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
28 є҆гѡ́же клѧ́твы ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀ пѡ́лна сꙋ́ть, и҆ го́рести и҆ льстѝ: под̾ ѧ҆зы́комъ є҆гѡ̀ трꙋ́дъ и҆ болѣ́знь.
10:7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
29 Присѣди́тъ въ лови́тельствѣ съ бога́тыми въ та́йныхъ, є҆́же ᲂу҆би́ти непови́ннаго: ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀ на ни́щаго призира́етѣ.
10:8 Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
10:8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
30 Лови́тъ въ та́йнѣ ꙗ҆́кѡ ле́въ во ѡ҆гра́дѣ свое́й, лови́тъ є҆́же восхи́тити ни́щаго, восхи́тити ни́щаго, внегда̀ привлещѝ и҆̀ въ сѣ́ти свое́й.
10:9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
10:9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
31 Смири́тъ є҆го̀: преклони́тсѧ и҆ паде́тъ, внегда̀ є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆блада́ти ᲂу҆бо́гими.
10:10 Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
10:10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
32 Рече́ бо въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: забы̀ бг҃ъ, ѿвратѝ лицѐ своѐ, да не ви́дитъ до конца̀.
10:11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
10:11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
33 Воскрⷭ҇нѝ, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е мо́й, да вознесе́тсѧ рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀, не забꙋ́ди ᲂу҆бо́гихъ твои́хъ до конца̀.
10:12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
10:12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
34 Чесѡ̀ ра́ди прогнѣ́ва нечести́вый бг҃а; рече́ бо въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: не взы́щетъ.
10:13 ¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no [lo] inquirirás.
10:13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
35 Ви́диши, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ болѣ́знь и҆ ꙗ҆́рость смотрѧ́еши, да пре́данъ бꙋ́детъ въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ: тебѣ̀ ѡ҆ста́вленъ є҆́сть ни́щїй, си́рꙋ ты̀ бꙋ́ди помо́щникъ.
10:14 Tú [lo] tienes visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y la vejación, para vengar[le] por tu mano: á ti se acoge el pobre, tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
10:14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
36 Сокрꙋшѝ мы́шцꙋ грѣ́шномꙋ и҆ лꙋка́вомꙋ: взы́щетсѧ грѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ.
10:15 Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
10:15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
37 Гдⷭ҇ь цр҃ь во вѣ́къ и҆ въ вѣ́къ вѣ́ка: поги́бнете, ꙗ҆зы́цы, ѿ землѝ є҆гѡ̀.
10:16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
10:16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
38 Жела́нїе ᲂу҆бо́гихъ ᲂу҆слы́шалъ є҆сѝ, гдⷭ҇и, ᲂу҆гото́ванїю се́рдца и҆́хъ внѧ́тъ ᲂу҆́хо твоѐ.
10:17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
10:17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
39 Сꙋдѝ си́рꙋ и҆ смире́нꙋ, да не приложи́тъ ктомꙋ̀ велича́тисѧ человѣ́къ на землѝ.
10:18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.

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: 9, 10.

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).

    The inscription of this Psalm is, "To the end for the hidden things of the Son, a Psalm of David himself." As to the hidden things of the Son there may be a question: but since he has not added whose, the very only-begotten Son of God should be understood.
