Tap a verse to highlight it

1 псалом Давида. Сказал Господь Господу моему: седи одесную Меня, доколе положу врагов Твоих в подножие ног Твоих.

2 Жезл силы Твоей пошлет Господь с Сиона: господствуй среди врагов Твоих.

3 В день силы Твоей народ Твой готов во благолепии святыни; из чрева прежде денницы подобно росе рождение Твое.

4 Клялся Господь и не раскается: Ты священник вовек по чину Мелхиседека.

5 Господь одесную Тебя. Он в день гнева Своего поразит царей;

6 совершит суд над народами, наполнит землю трупами, сокрушит голову в земле обширной.

7 Из потока на пути будет пить, и потому вознесет главу.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Psalm 109 about?
It's an imprecatory psalm asking God to judge a lying, hateful adversary who repaid David's love with evil (vv.1-5), pronouncing a long series of curses on that enemy before turning to prayer for his own deliverance (vv.21-31).
What curses does David pronounce on his enemy?
Verses 8-15 include "let his days be few," "let his children be fatherless," and "let his posterity be cut off," asking that the man's family and legacy be wiped out.
How does the tone shift toward the end of the psalm?
From v.21 David turns from cursing to describing his own weak state ("my knees are weak through fasting," v.24) and pleading for God's mercy, ending in a vow to praise him publicly. See also Psalms 108.
