Text of prayer Psalm 59
In Church Slavonic with accents
1 Finally, for those who want to change, for the sake of the pillars of David, for a teaching:
2 At one time he burned the heartland of Syria, and Syria of Sobal, and Joab returned and smote Edom into the wilds of Soleum twelve thousand,
3 O God, you have rejected us and cast us down; you have been angry and have spared us.
4 You have shaken the earth and troubled it, heal its contrition by moving.
5 You showed your people how cruel you are, you gave us to drink the wine of tenderness.
6 Thou hast given a sign to those who fear Thee, even to flee from the presence of the bow.
7 For Thy loved ones may be delivered; save with Thy right hand and hear me.
8 God said in His holy things: I will rejoice and divide Sikimah, and make a vale of habitations.
9 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the fortress of my head, Judah is my king.
10 Moab is the heap of my hope; on Idumea I put my boot; the foreign women have submitted to me.
11 Who will bring me into the city of enclosure? or who will guide me to Edom?
12 Is it not you, O God, who has rejected us? And will you not go out, O God, in our strength?
13 Give us help from tribulation, and human salvation is in vain.
14 In God we will create strength, and He will subdue the cold that afflicts us.
In Russian
1 For execution. For those who have yet to change, for the inscription on the pillar. David, to learning,
2 When he burned the Syrian Mesopotamia and Syria of Sobal, and Joab returned and smote Edom in the Solyan gorge - twelve thousand.
3 God! You rejected us, You crushed us, You were angry: turn to us.
4 You have shaken the earth, you have broken it: heal its damage, for it is shaking.
5 You have made your people experience cruel things; you have given us to drink the wine of amazement.
6 Give a banner to those who fear You, so that they may lift it up for the sake of the truth,
7 that Thy beloved may be delivered; save with Your right hand and hear me.
8 God said in His sanctuary: “I will triumph, I will divide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth:
9 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my scepter,
10 Moab is my washbowl; I will stretch my boot on Edom. Shout to Me, land of the Philistines!
11 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?
12 Is it not you, O God, who has cast us away, and come not forth, O God, with our armies?
13 Give us help in distress, for human defense is vanity.
14 With God we will show strength; He will overthrow our enemies.
When Psalm 59 is read. General rules
It is not entirely correct to divide everything conditionally and firmly differentiate. However, Psalm 59 is most applicable when:
It is necessary to read Psalm 59 for God to reveal the truth when many people are slandered. Much does not mean critical, no matter how much is stigmatized, you have a chance to fix everything. The main thing is not to forget the truths set forth in divine revelation.
These two lines show all the beauty of the psalm and make you feel the right mood:
