34 Вечный, бейся с теми, кто бьётся со мной,
    сражайся с теми, кто сражается со мной!
Возьми щит и латы
    и приди мне на помощь.
Подними копьё и секиру
    на тех[a], кто меня преследует.
Скажи душе моей:
    «Я спасение твоё!»

Да постыдятся и посрамятся те,
    кто желает моей смерти.
Пусть с позором повернут назад
    замышляющие против меня зло.
Пусть станут они, как носимая ветром мякина,
    когда их погонит Ангел Вечного.
Да будет их путь тёмным и скользким,
    когда Ангел Вечного их преследует.
За то, что они мне раскинули сеть без причины
    и без повода вырыли яму,
пусть нежданно придёт к ним гибель –
    пусть опутает их сеть, что они раскинули,
    пусть падут они в яму на погибель себе.
А моя душа будет радоваться о Вечном,
    возликует о спасении от Него.
10 Я скажу от всего сердца:
    «Вечный, Кто подобен Тебе?
Ты избавляешь слабых от сильных,
    нищих и бедных от тех, кто их грабит».

11 Безжалостные свидетели поднялись против меня,
    чего не знаю, о том расспрашивают.
12 Они воздают мне злом за добро;
    душа моя осиротела.
13 Но когда они болели, я одевался в рубище
    и постом себя изнурял.
И когда молитва моя возвращалась ко мне без ответа,
14     я ходил, сокрушаясь,
    как по другу или по брату.
Голову я опускал в тоске,
    словно скорбя по матери.
15 А когда я спотыкался,
    то все они радовались
    и сходились против меня.
Негодяи, которых я не знал,
    чернили меня без устали.
16 Как безбожники, насмехались они непрестанно,
    скрежеща на меня зубами.
17 Владыка, сколько Ты будешь смотреть на это?
    Спаси меня от их злодейства,
    от этих львов спаси мою жизнь!
18 Я восславлю Тебя при большом собрании,
    средь бесчисленного народа восхвалю Тебя.

19 Да не торжествуют надо мною те,
    кто враждует со мной без повода.
Да не подмигивают насмешливо те,
    кто ненавидит меня безо всякой причины.
20 Не о мире они говорят,
    а слагают лживые обвинения против тех,
    кто миролюбив на земле.
21 Разевают на меня свои рты и говорят:
    «Ага, ага, мы видели всё своими глазами!»

22 Ты всё это видел, Вечный, не будь безмолвен;
    не удаляйся, Владыка, от меня.
23 Поднимись и встань на мою защиту,
    за дело моё, Бог мой и Владыка!
24 Оправдай меня по праведности Твоей, Вечный, мой Бог;
    не дай им торжествовать надо мной.
25 Пусть не думают: «Ага, всё так, как мы и хотели!» –
    и не скажут: «Мы его поглотили».

26 Пусть все, кто торжествует над моей бедой,
    постыдятся и посрамятся.
Пусть все, кто превозносится надо мной,
    облекутся в стыд и позор.
27 Пусть те, кто желает моей правоты,
    кричат от веселья и радости;
пусть всегда говорят: «Велик Вечный,
    желающий блага Своему рабу!»
28 И будет язык мой возвещать о праведности Твоей
    и славить Тебя каждый день.

and all who take refuge in him will not be punished.(AD)

The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God

A Psalm of David (A)when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

34 I will (B)bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

I (C)sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
(D)The [a]angel of the Lord (E)encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

Oh, (F)taste and see that the Lord is good;
(G)Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no [b]want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
(H)But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me;
(I)I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 (J)Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking (K)deceit.
14 (L)Depart from evil and do good;
(M)Seek peace and pursue it.

15 (N)The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 (O)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
(P)To [c]cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and (Q)the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 (R)The Lord is near (S)to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as [d]have a contrite spirit.

19 (T)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
(U)But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
(V)Not one of them is broken.
21 (W)Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be [e]condemned.
22 The Lord (X)redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
