Псалтирь 57

New Russian Translation

57 Дирижеру хора. На мотив «Не погуби». Мольба Давида.

²Подлинно ли вы, правители,
    говорите беспристрастно?
    Справедливо ли судите меж людьми?
³Нет, неправду вы замышляете,
    ваши руки творят на земле произвол.

⁴От утробы матери нечестивые – среди отступников;
    с рождения сбились с пути и обманывают.
⁵Яд их подобен яду змеиному,
    яду глухой кобры, что уши свои затыкает
⁶и не слышит голоса заклинателя,
    как бы тот ни был искусен.

⁷Раздроби зубы у них во рту, о Боже;
    вырви, Господи, клыки у львов!
⁸Да исчезнут, как высохшая вода;
    пусть будут как надломленные стрелы в натянутом луке^[a],
⁹как улитка, что растает, слизью изойдя,
    как мертворожденный, что не увидит света.

¹⁰Прежде чем ваши котлы согреет горящий терн –
    зелен он или сух – нечестивые будут погублены^[b].
¹¹Праведники возрадуются, когда увидят возмездие,
    когда омоют стопы в крови нечестивых.
¹²И будут тогда говорить:
    «Поистине, праведным есть награда;
поистине, есть Бог, судящий на земле».

¹Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.^(C)

whose tongues are sharp swords.^(K)

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.^(L)

⁶They spread a net for my feet^(M)—
I was bowed down^(N) in distress.
They dug a pit^(O) in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.^(P)

    my heart is steadfast;^(Q)
    I will sing and make music.

    Awake, harp and lyre!^(R)

your faithfulness reaches to the skies.^(S)

let your glory be over all the earth.^(U)
