Psalm of David.
Bless the Lord, my soul, and all my inward holy name His.
Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His blessings.
He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your diseases;
delivers your life from the grave, crowns you with mercy and bounties;
your desire satisfies with blessings: your youth is renewed like an eagle.
The Lord creates justice and judgment for all the offended.
He showed His ways to Moses, to the children of Israel His works.
The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and many-merciful:
not completely angry, and not forever indignant.
He did not deal with us according to our iniquities, and did not repay us according to our sins:
for as the sky is high above the earth, so great is the mercy Lord to those who fear Him;
as far as the east is from the west, so has he removed our iniquities from us;
As a father has mercy on his sons, so the Lord has mercy on those who fear Him.
For He knows our composition, remembers that we are dust.
Man's days are like grass; like the flower of the field, so it blooms.
The wind passes over him, and he is gone, and his place will no longer recognize him.
The mercy of the Lord from age to age to those who fear Him,
and his righteousness is upon the sons of sons, who keep his covenant, and remember his commandments, that they may do them.
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over everything.
Bless the Lord all His angels, mighty in strength, doing His word, obeying the voice of His word;
bless the Lord, all his armies, his servants, who do his will;
bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, my soul!

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all my inner name is His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His rewards, Who cleanses all your iniquity, heals all your ailments, delivers your stomach from decay, crowns you with mercy and bounties, fulfills your desire in good things: your youth will be renewed like an eagle. Do alms Lord, and the fate of all offended. The tale of His path to Moses, to the sons of Israel, His desires: Generous and Merciful is the Lord, Long-suffering and Many-merciful. He is not completely angry, he is at enmity for centuries, he did not create food for us according to our iniquity, he rewarded us with food below according to our sin. Like the height of heaven from the earth, the Lord affirmed His mercy on those who feared Him. Eliko separates the east from the west, he removed our iniquity from us. As the father is generous to the sons, the Lord has mercy on those who fear Him. As the knowledge of our creation, I will remember, as the dust of Esma. A man, like the grass of his days, like a green flower, will bloom like a spirit, like a spirit will pass through him, and will not, and will not know his place. The mercy of the Lord from age to age is on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons who keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do. The Lord in Heaven has prepared His Throne, and His Kingdom possesses all. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all His forces, His servants, who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion, bless, O my soul. Lord.

Prayer 102 psalm

Ψαλμοί 102, 145 - Psalms 102, 145

Ευλόγει, η ψυχή μου, τόν Κύριον

Ευλογητός εί, Κύριε

Ευλόγει η ψυχή μου τον Κύριον και μή επιλανθάνου πάσας τας ανταποδόσεις αυτού.

Τον ευϊλατεύοντα πάσας τας ανομίας σου, τον ιώμενον πάσας τας νόσους σου.

Τον λυτρούμενον εκ φθοράς την ζωήν σου, τον στεφανούντα σε εν ελέει και οικτιρμοίς.

Τον εμπιπλώντα εν αγαθοίς την επιθυμίαν σου, ανακαινισθήσεται ως αετού η νεότης σου.

Ποιών ελεημοσύνας ο Κύριος και κρίμα πάσι τοις αδικουμένοις.

Εγνώρισε τας οδούς αυτού τω Μωϋσή, τοις υιοίς Ισραήλ τα θελήματα αυτού.

Οικτίρμων και ελεήμων ο Κύριος, μακρόθυμος και πολυέλεος· ουκ εις τέλος οργισθήσεται, ουδέ εις τον αιώνα μηνιεί.

Ού κατά τας ανομίας ημών εποίησεν ημίν, ουδέ κατά τας αμαρτίας ημών ανταπέδωκεν ημίν.

Ότι κατά το ύψος του ουρανού από της γης εκραταίωσε Κύριος το έλεος αυτού επί τους φοβουμένους αυτόν.

Καθόσον απέχουσιν ανατολαί από δυσμών, εμάκρυνεν αφ΄ ημών τας ανομίας ημών.

Καθώς οικτείρει πατήρ υιούς, ωκτείρησε Κύριος τους φοβουμένους αυτόν, ότι αυτός εγνω το πλάσμα ημών, εμνήσθη ότι χούς έσμεν.

΄Ανθρωπος, ωσεί χόρτος αι ημέραι αυτού, ωσεί άνθος του αγρού ούτως εξανθήσει.

Ότι πνεύμα διήλθεν εν αυτώ και ούχ υπάρξει και ουκ επιγνώσεται έτι τον τόπον αυτού.

Το δε έλεος του Κυρίου από του αιώνος και έως του αιώνος επί τους φοβουμένους αυτόν.

Και η δικαιοσύνη αυτού επί υιοίς υιών, τοις φυλάσσουσι την διαθήκην αυτού και μεμνημένοις των εντολών αυτού του ποιήσαι αυτάς.

Κύριος εν τω ουρανώ ητοίμασε τον θρόνον αυτού και η βασιλεία αυτού πάντων δεσπόζει.

Ευλογείτε τον Κύριον, πάντες οι άγγελοι αυτού, δυνατοί ισχύϊ ποιούντες τον λόγον αυτού, του ακούσαι της φωνής των λόγων αυτού.

Ευλογείτε τον Κύριον, πάσαι αι δυνάμεις αυτού, λειτουργοί αυτού οι ποιούντες το θέλημα αυτού.

Ευλογείτε τον Κύριον, πάντα τα έργα αυτού, εν παντί τόπω της δεσποτείας αυτού· ευλόγει η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον.

Δόξα Πατρί και Υιώ και Αγίω Πνεύματι. Και νυν, και αεί, και εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων. Αμήν.

Ευλόγει η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον και πάντα τα εντός μου το όνομα το άγιον αυτού.

Ευλογητός εί, Κύριε

Δόξα Πατρί και Υιώ και Αγίω Πνεύματι.

Αίνει, η ψυχή μου, τον Κύριον·

αινέσω Κύριον εν τη ζωή μου· ψαλώ

τω Θεώ μου έως υπάρχω.

Μή πεποίθατε επ΄ άρχοντας, επί υιούς ανθρώπων, οίς ούκ έστι σωτηρία.

Εξελεύσεται το πνεύμα αυτού και επιστρέψει εις την γην αυτού. Εν εκείνη τη ημέρα απολούνται πάντες οι διαλογισμοί αυτού.

Μακάριος, ού ο Θεός Ιακώβ βοηθός αυτού, η ελπίς αυτού επί Κύριον τον Θεόν αυτού.

Τον ποιήσαντα τον ουρανόν και την γην, την θάλασσαν και πάντα τα εν αυτοίς.

Τον φυλάσσοντα αλήθειαν εις τον αιώνα, ποιούντα κρίμα τοις αδικουμένοις, διδόντα τροφήν τοις πεινώσι.

Κύριος λύει πεπεδημένους·

Κύριος σοφοί τυφλούς·

Κύριος ανορθοί κατερραγμένους·

Κύριος αγαπά δικαίους.

Κύριος φυλάσσει τους προσηλύτους. Ορφανόν και χήραν αναλήψεται και οδόν αμαρτωλών αφανιεί.

Βασιλεύσει Κύριος εις τον αιώνα, ο Θεός σου, Σιών, εις γενεάν και γενεάν.

Και νυν, και αεί, και εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων. Αμήν.

Ο μονογενής υιός και λόγος του θεού

και καταδεξάμενος διά την ημετέραν

σαρκωθήναι εκ της Αγίας Θεοτόκου

και αειπαρθένου Μαρίας,

σταυρωθείς τε Χριστέ ο Θεός

θανάτω θάνατον πατήσας

Εις ων της Αγίας Τριάδος,

συνδοξαζόμενος τω Πατρί,

και τω Αγίω Πνεύματι, σώσον ημάς.

Praise, my soul, the Lord.

I will praise the Lord in my life; I will sing to my God as long as I exist.

Trust not in princes, in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

His spirit will go out and he will return

into their own land, on that day they will perish

all his intentions.

Blessed is the one to whom the God of Jacob is a helper, and whose hope is in the Lord their God,

who created heaven and earth,

the sea and all that is in them.

Keeps the truth forever, performs (right) judgment for the offended, gives food to the hungry.

The Lord permits the bound,

The Lord makes the blind wise

The Lord lifts up the downtrodden

The Lord loves the righteous.

The Lord protects strangers, He will accept an orphan and a widow, and destroy the path of sinners.

The Lord will reign forever. Thy God, Zion, for generations of generations!

And now and forever, and forever and ever.

The only begotten Son and the Word of God!

by nature, it was for the sake of it

incarnate from the Holy Mother of God

and always the Virgin Mary.

You really became a man

without ceasing to be God.

You, having been crucified, by Your death conquered death.

You are one of the Persons of the Holy Trinity, glorified

Psalm 102 - text in Russian, how to read, interpretation

There are many in life various events, in one day you can experience a lot of events and emotions. It is very difficult to always be on the upswing, to remember that a Christian should feel joy in the Lord in his heart. To return to a normal state of mind, experienced priests recommend reading the texts of psalms, including 102.

Why do Christians need to repeat these lines? They contain a special spiritual energy that can positively affect someone who has begun to become discouraged, who is oppressed by various problems, and is tormented by a bad mood.

Author and time of writing

Most of the Psalter was written by an ancient Israelite king named David. He laid the foundation for a whole family of great patriarchs - his son was the famous Solomon, who built the Temple. It was the descendant of David (on the maternal side) that Jesus Christ became. The great ruler died around 965 BC. e.

Although the Lord arbitrarily chose a humble shepherd to be the leader of the Jews, his life has not been peaceful. However, Psalm 102 was probably written during a quiet period. During these days, the reigning David had the opportunity to reflect on the greatness of God. Most likely, this is a segment of his life before the reins of government were transferred into the hands of Solomon.

Text of psalm 22 in Russian;
Interpretation of 37 psalm.
Why read the 34th psalm -

The Church Slavonic version of the prayer is included in the evening service, but some expressions may be incomprehensible, especially by ear. It is easier for many to read the translation in Russian. Then all the words and expressions that are no longer used in modern everyday language become clear. Although most people will understand what in question in this prayer:

The grace of the Lord is the main idea of the poet, which the Bible conveys in Psalm 102.
David's whole being strives to express his love and gratitude to God. After all, the merciful Creator forgives and cleanses many sins to every person living under the sun.
According to the interpretation Orthodox Church God never fully repays wrongdoing. Punishment is much milder than sins. This is because the Creator is very kind to his creations.

Why read this psalm? To praise your Creator, to give him proper praise, as every true Christian should.

3 Turn not thy face away from me; if the day I mourn, incline thy ear to me;

3 Turn not thy face away from me; in the day when I mourn, incline thy ear to me; in the day when I call upon thee, hear me quickly.

4 For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have dried up like brushwood.

5 I was wounded like grass, and my heart was gone, as if I forgot to bring down my bread.

5 I was cut down like grass, and my heart withered, so that I forgot to eat my bread.

6 At the sound of my sighing my bone clings to my flesh.

6 At the sound of my groaning my bones have stuck to my flesh.

7 Like the owl of the desert, it was like a nocturnal raven in the dives.

7 I am like a pelican in the wilderness; I am like an owl in the ruins.

8 Deh and were like a bird that is special on the ground.

8 He did not sleep and became like a bird sitting alone on the roof.

9 All day long I reproach mine, and those who praise me swear by me.

9 All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore by me.

10 I ate ashes like bread, and dissolved my drink with weeping.

10 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and I have dissolved my drink with tears

11 From the face of thy anger and thy wrath, as thou hast lifted me up, thou hast cast me down.

11 from thy wrath and thy fury, for having lifted me up, thou hast cast me down.

12 My days have gone like a canopy, and I have dried up like hay.

12 My days are bowed down like a shadow, and like grass I am withered.

13 But Thou, O Lord, abide forever, and Thy remembrance is unto generation and generation.

13 But Thou, O Lord, abides forever, and the remembrance of Thee is unto generation and generation.

15 For thy servants have loved his stones, and have pity on his dust.

16 And the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth shall be thy glory.

18 Look at the prayer of the humble, and despise not their prayers.

19 Let this be written in the next generation, and the people of the building shall praise the Lord.

19 Let them write it for another generation, and let the people being built praise the Lord,

20 As if from the height of His saints, the Lord looks from heaven to earth,

20 for he bowed down from his holy height, the Lord looked down from heaven to earth,

21 Hear the sighing of the chained, loose the sons of the slain,

21 to hear the groans of the captives, to release the sons of the slain,

22 proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem.

22 proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,

23 Every now and then, gather people together, and the king, even the work of the Lord.

23 when the nations are gathered together, and kings to serve the Lord.

24 He answered him in the way of his strength: I shall proclaim the diminution of my days.

24 He turned to Him on the way, in days his strength: “Reveal to me about my few days;

25 Do not bring me up at the half-time of my days: in the generations of thy years.

25 do not snatch me away in the middle of my days: in generations your years are.”

26 In the beginning, O Lord, You founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hand.

26 In the beginning you, O Lord, founded the earth, and the work of your hands is the heavens;

27 They will perish, but you remain: and all, as if they were wearing a garment, and as if I were wearing a garment, and they will be changed.

27 They will perish, but You will remain, and they will all be worn out like a garment, and like a garment You will roll them up and they will be changed.

28 Thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

28 But You are the same, and Your years will not end.

29 The sons of your servants will find shelter, and their seed will be established forever.

Psalm 103

Psalm of David, about the origin of the world.

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul. Lord, my God, thou hast exalted greatly. Thou hast put on in confession and in magnificence.

1 Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord my God, You are very exalted, You are clothed with praise and splendor,

2 Clothing with light as with a garment, stretching out the sky like a veil of skin.

3 Cover Your Highest One with waters, lay clouds on Your ascent, walk on the wing of the wind.

3 You you hide your heavenly chambers in the waters, you appoint clouds for your ascent, you walk on the wings of the winds,

4 you create your angels as spirits, and your servants as blazing fire,

5 Foundation the earth on its firmament, it will not bow forever and ever.

5 You He established the earth on its foundation, it will not bow forever and ever.

6 The abyss is like a garment covering it; waters rise on the mountains;

7 At your threat they will flee, at the sound of your thunder they will be afraid.

8 Mountains ascend and fields descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.

8 Ascend on the mountains and descend on the plains, to the place that You appointed for them,

9 Thou hast set a limit; they will not pass it, they will turn below to cover the earth.

9 He has set a limit, which they will not pass over, nor turn back to cover the earth.

10 Send springs into the wilderness; waters will pass through the midst of the mountains.

10 You you send springs in the gorges, waters will flow through the mountains,

11 All the wild beasts of the country will drink; the she-sheep wait in their thirst.

11 They will give water to every beast of the field; wild donkeys will quench their thirst;

12 On you the birds of the air will graft, out of the midst of the rocks they will give a voice.

12 The birds of the air will dwell in their midst; they will make a voice out of the midst of the rocks.

13 Solder the mountains from your most lofty ones; from the fruit of your works the earth shall be satisfied.

13 You you water the mountains from your heights, the earth will be satisfied from the fruit of your works,

14 You shall vegetate grass for cattle, and grain for the service of man; bring bread out of the ground.

14 You bring forth grass for the livestock, and grass for the service of men, to bring forth bread from the earth,

15 And wine gladdens the heart of man, anoint the face with oil, and bread strengthens the heart of man.

15 and wine that gladdens the heart of man, so that the face his shined with oil, and bread will strengthen the heart of man.

16 The trees of Poland shall be satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which thou hast planted.

16 The trees of the plain shall be satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon which You have planted,

17 There the birds nest; the dwelling of Herodes leads them.

17 Birds make their nests there, and the stork's dwelling towers over them.

18 The high mountains are like deer, the stone is like a hare.

18 The high mountains are for deer, the rock is a refuge for hares.

19 He created to eat the moon in time; the sun knew its west.

19 He made the moon for instructions time, the sun knew its sunset.

20 Thou put down darkness, and it was night; all the beasts of the oak forest would pass through it.

20 You stretched out darkness, and night came; all the animals of the forest will roam in it,

21 Throw down those who roar, snatch and seek from God your food.

21 young lions roaring in hope- to get and find food for yourself from God.

22 The sun will rise up and gather together and lie down in their beds.

22 The sun has risen, and they are gathered together, and lie down in their lairs,

23 A man will go out to his work and to his work until evening.

24 For your works are exalted, O Lord;

24 How majestic are thy works, O Lord; in wisdom thou hast made all things; the land of thy creatures is filled.

25 This is a great and spacious sea, there are reptiles, which have no number, a small animal with great ones,

25 It is a great and vast sea, there are reptiles that have no number, small animals and large ones.

26 There the ships sail, this serpent, whom thou hast made to reproach him.

26 There are ships passing by, there this dragon that You created to mock him.

27 They all look forward to you, give them food in good time.

27 All expect from you, what You give them food in due time.

28 Whatever is given to Thee shall be gathered to them;

28 When You give them, they her gather, you open your hand, everything will be satisfied with goodness.

29 I will turn away your face, they will rebel, take away their breath, and they will disappear, and return to their dust.

29 But if you turn away your face, they will be troubled; if you take away their breath, they will disappear and return to their dust.

30 Follow thy Spirit, and they shall be built, and renew the face of the earth.

30 You send forth Your Spirit, and they will be created, and You will renew the face of the earth.

31 Be the glory of the Lord forever; the Lord rejoices in his works,

31 Glory be to the Lord forever; the Lord rejoices in his works.

32 look upon the earth, and make it shake, touch the mountains, and smoke.

32 He looks at the earth and makes her tremble, touches the mountains - and they smoke.

33 I will sing to the Lord in my life; I will sing to my God while I am,

33 I will sing to the Lord all my life, to sing to my God as long as I exist.

34 Let my conversation be delighted with him, but I will rejoice in the Lord.

34 May my conversation be sweet to Him, but I will rejoice in the Lord.

35 Let the sinners perish from the earth, and the lawless, as if they were not. Bless, my soul, the Lord.

35 Let the sinners and the lawless perish from the earth, so that they are no more. Bless, my soul, the Lord!

According to the 14th kathisma,

Trisagion according to Our Father:

After Kathisma 14

Trisagion according to Our Father:

Same troparia, tone 8:

I fall down to Thee, a harlot, so that I may be left behind, / and instead of peace, I offer tears from my heart to You, Christ God: / yes, have mercy on me, Savior, / and grant the cleansing of sins. / For I am calling Ty: / Deliver me from the time of my deeds.

Troparion, tone 8

Like a harlot, I bow down before You / in order to receive forgiveness, / and instead of peace I bring tears from my heart to You, Christ God, / so that, like her, You have pity on me, Savior, / and grant me cleansing from sins. / For, like her, I cry out to You: / “Remove me from the mire of my deeds!”

Glory: Why don't you think, my soul, of death? / Why don’t you turn to the rest for correction, / before the trumpets of the announcement in judgment? / Then there is no time for repentance. / Take in mind the publican and the harlot who calls: / You have sinned, Lord, have mercy on me.

Glory: Why do you not think, my soul, of death? / That you do not finally turn to correction, / before the trumpet announcing the Judgment? / Then there will be no time for repentance. / Imagine in your mind a publican and a harlot crying: / “I have sinned against You, / Lord, have mercy on me!”

And now: As if truly surpassing / in Thy Nativity the Powers of Heaven, / Ever-Virgin Mother of God, / even enriched by Thee in the Divinity, / unceasingly magnify Thee.

And now: Truly surpassing the Powers of Heaven / by the birth of the Savior from You, / Ever-Virgin Mother of God! / We, enriched through You by communion with the Divine, / unceasingly magnify You.

Lord, have mercy (40) and prayer:

Thank you, Lord God of our salvation, as if you do everything for the good deeds of our life, as if you gave us rest in the past night time, and raised us up from our beds, and set us in worship of your honorable and glorious name. The same we pray to Thee, Lord: give us grace and strength, that we may be able to sing wisely to Thee, and pray unceasingly: and I will behold Thee, the Savior and Benefactor of our souls, with fear and trembling my salvation is active. Hear well and have mercy, O Merciful One, on us: crush under our feet our invisible warriors and enemies; As if we pray, as it befits, we do not know, but not You, Lord, instruct us with Your Holy Spirit. But if you sin even up to this hour, by word, or deed, or thought, willingly, or unwillingly, weaken, leave, forgive. If you see iniquity, Lord, Lord, who will stand? Like you have cleansing, you have deliverance. Thou art the One Holy One, the mighty Helper, and the Defender of our life, and we will bless Thee forever, amen.

B thank you, Lord God of our salvation, for you do everything for the good of our life! You gave us rest in the past tense of the night, and raised us from our beds, and set us up to worship Your holy and glorious name. Therefore, we pray to You, Lord: grant us grace and strength, so that we may be worthy to hymn to You intelligently, and to pray without ceasing, and always look to You, the Savior and Benefactor of our souls, with fear and trembling making our salvation. Hear and have mercy on us, Merciful One! Crush under our feet invisible adversaries and enemies, accept our thanksgiving, grant us grace and strength to open our mouths, and teach us Thy commandments. For we do not know what to pray about, as we should, unless, Lord, by Your Holy Spirit You teach us. If, however, we have sinned in any way even up to this hour, in word, or deed, or thought, voluntarily or involuntarily, weaken, forgive, forgive. For if You, Lord, notice iniquity, Lord, who can stand? For with You is propitiation, with You is deliverance. You are the One Holy One, the mighty Helper and Defender of our life, and we bless You for all ages. Amen.

Psalm 102 is a solemn praise of the Lord and all that is connected with Him. The psalmist David in his verses speaks of Him as a deliverer from all iniquity, a healer of all ailments, a crowner with His mercy and His bounties. The entire psalm 102 is saturated with gratitude and praise of the name of God, to whom he sings, he asks his soul and all his need not to forget and not be ungrateful for. David expresses gratitude to the Almighty for the fact that He blessed the king with His bounties and mercy to the prophet, helped to find right decisions and strengthened his optimistic spirit.

Psalm 102, the text of which is, as it were, David's conversation with himself, demonstrates the story in the second person. Each verse of psalm one hundred and two is the revelation of a person who has felt the fullness of the power of the Lord and his grace. The Lord creates both justice and his own judgment on those who commit bad deeds. The people of Israel were destined to see the judgments of those who did evil to this people.

Interpretations of the mercy of the Lord in Psalm 102

In the verses of Psalm 102, David admires the God of Israel, his generosity and mercy. He says that thanks to his mercy, God is not completely angry for the misdeeds of Christians, never turns away from those who stumble and always helps those who repent. If the Lord would turn his anger on everyone for his misdeeds, then not a single one would be left on earth from the very moment of sinning in Eden. and therefore, all people have the opportunity to repent and accept the way of God for themselves.

The text of Psalm 102 says that His mercy is limitless and it is impossible to measure its magnitude, since everyone receives it, even the biggest sinners. The Lord is comparable to a father who has mercy on his children, therefore He is much tolerant and understands that everyone is weak and cannot but sin in a world that is full of temptations and stumbling blocks. David in Psalm 102 compares a person to dust under his feet, and his days are like the days of a wild flower - they are short-lived and full of dangers. As soon as the wind of obstacles blows, a person can break and disappear.

Psalm 102 is a reminder to people that only those who fear the Lord and His judgment, those who realize the greatness and power of the Creator of all life on earth, remember His Commandments and keep His covenants, His help comes. David addresses in Psalm 102 to all the servants of the Lord, angels with mighty strength to bless the Lord and to all the servants of God both in heaven and on earth.

Text in Russian psalm 102

Bless the Lord, my soul, and all my inward being is His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His blessings. He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your diseases; delivers your life from the grave, crowns you with mercy and bounties; your desire satisfies with blessings: your youth is renewed like an eagle. The Lord creates justice and judgment for all the offended. He showed His ways to Moses, to the children of Israel His works. The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and many-merciful: he is not completely angry, and he is never indignant. He did not deal with us according to our iniquities, and did not repay us according to our sins: for as the sky is high above the earth, so great is the mercy of the Lord to those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so has he removed our iniquities from us; as a father has mercy on his sons, who fear him so. For He knows our composition, remembers that we are dust. Man's days are like grass; like the flower of the field, so it blooms. The wind passes over him, and he is gone, and his place will no longer recognize him. The mercy of the Lord is from age to age to those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons, who keep His covenant and remember His commandments in order to fulfill them. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over everything. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, doing His word, obeying the voice of His word; bless the Lord, all his armies, his servants, who do his will; bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, my soul!

Psalm 102 was written by King David as a testament to the life that the Lord gives to his child on earth. It deals with the position of Christians in earthly life, while Psalm 103, paired with it, is more focused on spiritual life.

History of writing

Psalms 102 and 103, 18 and 19, 69 and 70 and others are paired, their content and meaning have something in common, while they have one author and complement each other.

Psalm 102 was written by David, this is evidenced by the inscription, which is written in any translation of the Bible (Hebrew, Greek, Slavic). It is difficult to establish the time of writing and the historical context, since there is no information about this in the lyrics of the song itself.

Psalm 102 contains a special spiritual energy that can positively affect a person

Presumably, it was during the peaceful reign of the king, which fell out extremely rarely, and in his calm state of reflection on the greatness of the Creator. There are a number of songs that have been written with this same thought in mind, which speaks volumes about the length of the peaceful period in Israel. It may have been at the end of David's reign.

On a note! The text of the psalm reveals a description of the physical world in which a Christian lives.

The interpretation of the psalm

The solemn and laudatory tone of the psalm sets the appropriate mood when reading it - a person begins to praise the Heavenly Father for everything that He has created, for His mercy and love for humanity.

Every verse of the song is filled with praise:

Verses 1-5: The psalmist begins to reveal his feelings of admiration and the glory of the Lord. He says that his whole being, i.e. body and soul are full of praise, and the works of the Lord delight and amaze him. The Creator performs a wide variety of deeds: he has mercy on sinners, heals from mental and bodily illnesses, saves from death, rewards with material and spiritual benefits, maintains vigor in a person, renews his strength. Regarding the last lines, most likely, David here meant the strength and longevity of the patriarchs, who, by the grace of God, lived up to 100 years.
Verses 6-7: The Lord gave his separated people (first to the Jews, and then to all Christians) the law by which it is necessary to live and showed his love and care for man in this.
Verses 8-13: God is never angry with a man for long; His punishment is always followed by mercy, which is also directed from heaven. At the same time, the mercy from the Lord is endless. The blessings of God are as great as the earth from heaven - David here uses comparisons with natural phenomena in order to maximally show the reader and reveal the powers of God. He leads readers to the idea that God's care for man is more like a father's care for children.
Verses 14-19: yet man himself is nothing but dust. The author again uses a comparison, but with the small ones of this world - colors that quickly disappear. Here a parallel is drawn between the almighty and great God and the insignificant man.
Verses 20-22: A call to the blessing of the Creator on all things.

Important! The whole song conveys David's admiration for God, he does not cease to praise and exalt Him, because he understands what the Creator is and what a person really is.

Reading Rules

The Church Slavonic version of the psalm must be read during the evening service on Saturday (Sunday morning).

Psalm 102 was created to glorify the Lord, since He deserves all the glory on this earth

The song is read solemnly and festively so that people can feel the mood and express gratitude to the Lord in prayer for everything that He has created. Otherwise, it is simply impossible to read a laudatory psalm.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all my inner name is His holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His rewards, Who cleanses all your iniquity, heals all your ailments, delivers your stomach from decay, crowns you with mercy and bounties, fulfills your desire in good things: your youth will be renewed like an eagle. Do alms Lord, and the fate of all offended. The tale of His path to Moses, to the sons of Israel, His desires: Generous and Merciful is the Lord, Long-suffering and Many-merciful. He is not completely angry, he is at enmity for centuries, he did not create food for us according to our iniquity, he rewarded us with food below according to our sin. Like the height of heaven from the earth, the Lord affirmed His mercy on those who feared Him. Eliko separates the east from the west, he removed our iniquity from us. As the father is generous to the sons, the Lord has mercy on those who fear Him. As the knowledge of our creation, I will remember, as the dust of Esma. A man, like the grass of his days, like a green flower, will bloom like a spirit, like a spirit will pass through him, and will not, and will not know his place. The mercy of the Lord from age to age is on those who fear Him, and His righteousness is on the sons of sons who keep His covenant and remember His commandments to do. The Lord in Heaven has prepared His Throne, and His Kingdom possesses all. Bless the Lord, all His angels, mighty in strength, who do His word, hear the voice of His words. Bless the Lord, all His forces, His servants, who do His will. Bless the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion, bless, O my soul. Lord.

But for many parishioners, the expressions may be incomprehensible and difficult to distinguish by ear due to the specifics of the language. To do this, you can take the Psalter in Russian with you and follow the text or reread the psalm at home:

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all my inward being is His holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.
3 He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your diseases;
4 redeems your life from the grave, crowns you with mercy and bounties;
5 Your desire satisfies with good things; your youth is renewed like an eagle.
6 The Lord does righteousness and judgment for all who are offended.
7 He showed his ways to Moses, to the children of Israel his works.
8 Generous and merciful is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in mercy:
9 He is not completely angry, nor is he ever angry.
10 He did not deal with us according to our iniquities, and did not repay us according to our sins:
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is the mercy [of the Lord] towards those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west, so has he removed our iniquities from us;
13 As a father has mercy on his sons, so the Lord has mercy on those who fear him.
14 For He knows our constitution, He remembers that we are dust.
15 The days of a man are like grass; like the flower of the field, so it blooms.
16 The wind will pass over him, and he will be gone, and his place will no longer recognize him.
17 And the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting to those who fear Him,
18 And his righteousness is upon the sons of sons, who keep his covenant, and remember his commandments, that they may do them.
19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven, and his kingdom has all things.
20 Bless the Lord, [all] his angels, mighty in strength, doing his word, obeying
21 bless the Lord, all his hosts, his servants, who do his will;
22 bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, my soul!

Important! This text was created by the king to glorify the Lord, because He deserves all the glory on this earth.

Psalter. Psalm 102

This psalm is more for worship than for interpretation. This is the most beautiful psalm of praise for general use. In it, the psalmist (I) encourages himself and his soul to glorify God (vv. 1, 2) for His good will towards him (vv. 3-5), towards the Church and towards all pious people, to whom He was and will be just, kind and unchanging (vv. 6-18), and also for His government of the world (v. 19). He wants the holy angels and all the works of God to help him in his glorification (vv. 20-22). In singing this psalm, we must in a special way fill our hearts with gratitude to God for mercy and love.

Psalm of David.

Verses 1-5. In these verses David converses with his heart; and the man who thus speaks to himself, and stirs his soul to strive for good, is not a fool. Note:

I. How he urges himself to do his duty and glorify God (v. 1, 2).

1. It is God that we must bless and speak well of Him, since He is the source of all blessings, no matter who the channel or container is. We must concentrate our praise on His name, His holy name, glorifying the memory of His holiness.

2. In the blessing of God, our soul and our whole interior must take part. We do nothing with our religious ideas if the heart does not participate in them, if everything that is inside us, moreover, our entire interior does not participate in this. This work requires participation inner man, the whole person - only then will he be accepted.

3. In order to glorify God in return, we must remember with gratitude the mercies received from Him: "... do not forget all His benefits." If we do not give thanks, we forget about them, and this is unfair and impolite, since all God's graces deserve that we remember them. “O my soul! Be ashamed, how could you forget many of His graces; but, of course, you could not forget about all and should not forget any.

II. How he provides himself with numerous themes for praise; it makes a big impression: "Come, my soul, think about what God has done for you."

1. “He has forgiven your sins (v. 3);

He has forgiven and forgives all your iniquity." This is mentioned first, because through the forgiveness of sin, that which kept good things from us is removed, and we are restored to the right to the favor of God, which gives us good things. Think about what provokes God - it's iniquity, but it's forgiven; no matter how many crimes, they are all forgiven. He forgives all your iniquities. This action continues; He continues to forgive as we continue to sin and repent.

2. "He heals all your diseases." The depravity of our nature is a disease of the soul: it brings it into confusion and frightens it with death. This is cured by sanctification; when sin is mortified, then sickness is cured, however severe it may be. Our guilt deserved death, but God, in forgiving it, saves our lives. Our disease was fatal, but God, healing, saves our lives. These truths go hand in hand; God, in doing this work, does it perfectly, and not half; If God removes the guilt of sin by forgiving grace, then by renewing grace He deprives sin of power. Where Christ became righteousness to the soul, He became sanctification (1 Corinthians 1:30).

3. "He delivered you from danger." The danger to human life can be represented not only by his iniquity and disease, but also by the strength of his enemies. Therefore, in this plan too, we experience divine mercy: "He delivers your life from the grave (v. 4), from the destroyer, from destruction (English translation KJV), from hell (Chaldean translation), from the second death." The price of the redemption of their souls is dear. We cannot comprehend it and therefore find ourselves in even greater debt to divine grace who did it, and those who purchased eternal redemption for us (see Job 33:24,28).

4. “He not only saved you from death and destruction, but also made you truly absolutely happy, clothed you in honors, bestowed pleasure and a long life.”

(1.) "He gave you true honor, a great honor, which is no less significant than a crown." He crowns you with mercy and bounties; and what greater honor can be given to a poor soul than the love and favor of God? This honor is for all His saints. What else can be the crown of glory, if not God's favor?

(2) "He gives you true pleasure and satisfies your desire with good things" (v. 5);

only the favor and grace of God can give satisfaction to the soul, give appropriate opportunities, meet its needs and answer its desires. Only divine wisdom can take charge and fill their treasuries, Prov. 8:21. Everything else will satisfy, but will not satisfy (Ecclesiastes 6:7; Isaiah 55:2).

(3) “He gave you a vision and a pledge of long life. Renewed, like an eagle, your youth. The eagle lives a long time, and, as naturalists say, when he is 100 years old, he sheds his old feathers (of course, he changes them every year during the molt) and new ones grow in their place, and thus he becomes young again. When God, by the grace and comforts of His Spirit, heals His people from decay and fills new life and joy, which are for him a pledge eternal life and joy, then he may be said to return to the days of his youth, Job 33:25.

Verses 6-18. Until now, the psalmist has only looked back, turning to his own experience and scooping up topics for praise, but in these verses he looks around and notes His favor also to others, for we should rejoice and thank God for them, since all saints are fed from common table and share the same blessings.

I. Truly God is good to all (v. 6): “The Lord does justice and judgment not only for His people, but also for all those who are offended, for even in His general providences He is the Protector of trampled innocence and in one way or another will intercede for the offended against their oppressors. His honor is to humble the proud and help the helpless.

II. He is especially kind to Israel, to every Israelite who is pure and right in heart.

1. He showed himself and his grace to us (v. 7), showed his ways to Moses, and through him to the children of Israel his works, not only with his rod to those who lived at that time, but also with the help of his writings to subsequent generations . Note, Divine revelation is one of the first and greatest divine favors with which the Church has been blessed, for God sets us in order by revealing Himself, and bestows upon us every good thing by giving knowledge. He showed His ways and His works (i.e., His nature and the ways in which He deals with the sons of men) that they might imagine Him and know what to expect from Him (as Dr. Hammond interprets). Or, by His ways, we may know His principles, the ways that we must walk, and by His works, or plans (which emphasizes the meaning of this word), His promises and purposes regarding us. This is how God treats us.

2. He was never ruthless and cruel to us, but always full of compassion and tenderness, ready to forgive.

(1.) Such is His nature (v. 8): “The Lord is bountiful and merciful; this is how He revealed himself to Moses on Mount Horeb when he proclaimed his name (Ex 34:6,7) in response to Moses' request (Ex 33:13): “My way,” God answers, “is to forgive sin.”

He is not quick to anger (v. 8). He is long-suffering; He does not critically point out what we are doing wrong, and does not use every opportunity to punish. He long suffers those who irritate Him and delays their punishment, giving time to repent; He does not quickly carry out the sentence of the law. Since He is many-merciful, He is long-suffering; He is the Father of mercy.

He is not angry for long, for he is not completely angry (v. 9), even though we offend him often and deserve to be punished. Although God expresses His dissatisfaction with us with reproaches of providence and reproaches of our conscience, which leads to sorrow, but at the same time He has compassion and He will not always surround us with pain and horror for sins, but after the spirit of slavery He will send the spirit of adoption. How different from God are those who are constantly angry, use every opportunity to become angry, and do not know when to stop being angry! What would happen if God treated us the same way? He will not be angry with His people forever, but will soon gather them in eternal mercy (Isaiah 54:8; 8:57:16).

(2.) We have seen that he is such, and for our part we must acknowledge that he did not do it to us according to our iniquities (v. 10). Scripture speaks a lot about the mercy of God, and under this truth we can all seal and confirm that we are convinced of this. If He were not a God of tolerance, then we would have been in hell long ago, but He did not repay us according to our sins; so say all who know what sin deserves. He does not inflict on us the punishment we deserve, he does not deprive us of the comforts with which we are fed up, which make us think worse of sin, not better, since the goodness (tolerance, Engl. per. KJV) of God leads us to repentance (Rom. 2). :four).

3. He forgave our sins, not only my iniquities (v. 3), but our iniquities (v. 12). If we have comfort through the pardoning grace of God, that is our personal privilege; at the same time, we must give him glory for the privileges that others enjoy because of it. Note:

(1) the extraordinary riches of God's mercy (v. 11). As the sky is high above the earth (so high that from there the earth seems to be a point throughout its vast extent), so the mercy of God is above the merits of those who fear Him most, it is so high that it is impossible to find a ratio; even the greatest examples of duty cannot require evidence of God's favor as a duty, and therefore all the seed of Jacob will join in the voice of the psalmist, acknowledging themselves unworthy of all the mercies of God (Gen. 32:10). Note that great is the mercy of the Lord to those who fear Him, and not to those who take Him lightly. We must fear the Lord and His mercy.

(2.) The fullness of his forgiveness, and the evidence of the riches of his mercy (v. 12). As far as the east is from the west (the vast distance occupied by two-quarters of the world, thanks to what is inhabited and studied, can be measured by geographers), just as far has He removed our iniquities from us, and now they will never be presented to us and will not stand on judgment against us. Neither God nor the believers themselves will remember these sins; they will be looked for but not found. If we finally deny them, God will finally forgive them.

4. He sympathizes with our sorrows (v. 13, 14). Note:

(1.) To whom He sympathizes—those who fear Him, that is, to all good people who in this world can become an object of compassion because of the sorrows for which they are not only born, but also born again. Or these words can be attributed to those who have not yet received the spirit of adoption and tremble at His word. Such He has mercy (Jer 31:18,20).

(2.) How he has mercy on them—as a father has mercy on his sons and does good to them whenever he can. God is the Father of those who fear Him, and treats them as His children; He is gentle with them, like a father. The father takes pity on the children who do not have enough knowledge and instructs them. He pities them when they feel bad, and is patient with them; takes pity on them when they are sick and comforts them (Isaiah 66:13);

takes pity when they fall and helps them up; pities when they are offended, and, seeing their humility, forgives them; regrets when they are offended, and compensates for their losses. This is how the Lord has mercy on those who fear Him.

(3) Why does He pity - for He knows our composition. He has reason to know our composition, since He formed us, and having created man from dust, He remembers that we are dust not only in our composition, but also according to the sentence: “You are dust.” He thinks about the perishability of human bodies and the recklessness of our souls - about how little we can do, and does not expect more, how little we can bear, and accordingly imposes little on us. All this shows the tenderness of His mercy.

5. He perpetuated His covenant of mercy, and in so doing provided relief for our corruption (vv. 15-18). Notice here, (1.) How short human life is, and how doubtful its duration. Such is the life of even the greatest and best husbands, and neither their greatness nor their piety can change their peculiarity: the days of a person are like grass that grows out of the earth, but grows only a little, dries up and returns to it again (see Isaiah 40:6,7). A man in his best position seems to be greater than grass; it flourishes and looks careless, but at the same time it is the color of the field, which, although slightly different from the grass, will still dry up with it. Garden flowers are most often chosen from many and are more valued, and although by their nature they also dry out, but their life, thanks to the care of the gardener and shelter in the garden, lasts longer. BUT wild flower, with which life is compared here, not only dries up on its own, but is also subject to cold winds; he is not protected from the mouth of the wild beasts, nor from trampling. Man's life is not only exhausted by itself, but this period can be subject to a thousand accidents. When a blossoming flower is in its beauty, the invisible strong wind, which no one expected, will pass over him, and he is gone. The flower hangs on the stem, the leaves fall, and it returns to the ground again. And his place (which was proud of him) will no longer recognize him. Such is the man. God knows about this and pities the man, and let the man himself think about it and humble himself, let him become dead to this world and think about something else.

(2.) How enduring is the mercy of God to his people (v. 17, 18): it will outlive their lives and outlive their present condition. Notice the description of those to whom this grace belongs. These are those who fear God and by their principle are truly religious people. First, they live by faith, as they keep the covenant of God. They hold fast to this covenant and will not let it go. They keep it as wealth, as their part, and they will not part with it for any treasures in the world, since this is their life. Secondly, Their life is a life of obedience, and they remember His commandments to keep them; otherwise they will not keep their covenant with God. Only those who responsibly keep His commandments will receive the privileges of God's promises. See who has a good memory and a faithful mind (Ps 110:10), who does His commandments; not only speaks of them, but also fulfills them and is guided by them.

To the long-term mercy that belongs to such people. It will last longer than their life on earth, and therefore they do not need to worry about the shortness of their life, since death will not be a limitation or an encroachment on their bliss. The grace of God is better than life, because it will outlive it. First, in relation to their eternal souls. In relation to them, the mercy of the Lord from age to age: from its eternal decrees - to its eternal consequences, from their election until the creation of the world - until their glorification, when this world will no longer be, since they are destined for inheritance (Eph 1 :11), waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. Secondly, in relation to their descendants (Ps. 103:18), who will be kept until the end of time, and His righteousness (the righteousness of His promises) upon the sons of sons. If they walk in the ways of the piety of their predecessors and keep His covenant, as they did, then mercy for them will be preserved for a thousand generations.

Verses 19-22. In these verses (I) the doctrine of universal providence is set forth (v. 19). God preserves the happiness of his chosen people by promise and covenant, and the general course of mankind and the world in general by a common providence. God has his own throne - a throne of glory and leadership. He issued all the rules with the word of His power and set His throne in heaven. The Lord established and strengthened him so that he would not stagger. All the means of His government He determined and administered according to His will. His throne is in heaven, above us and out of sight, because he spread his cloud over it (Job 26:9). But at the same time, he himself can judge through the darkness (Job 22:13) by virtue of his heavenly authority (Dan. 4:23), and this prompts us to think about it because of the influence that even the visible heavens have on the earth with their ordinances of heaven (Job 38:33; Gen 1:16). But although the throne of God is in heaven, there He maintains His court and there we must direct our appeals (Our Father who art in heaven ...), at the same time, His kingdom possesses everything. The Lord knows about all the inhabitants of the earth, the affairs of this lower world, and distributes everything in accordance with His will for His glory (Dan. 4:32) - His kingdom possesses everything, rules over kings and kingdoms, and nothing escapes His jurisdiction.

II. From there, a decree was issued on the universal glorification of God, since everyone is in His power and must honor Him.

1. Let the holy angels glorify Him (v. 20, 21): "Bless the Lord, O His angels"; and again: "Bless the Lord, all his armies, his servants." David encourages himself and others to glorify God, and in these verses, in conclusion, he calls the angels to this. This does not mean that they needed any prompting from us to glorify God, for they do so all the time; thus the psalmist expresses his lofty thoughts about God as about an object worthy of the admiration of the holy angels, prompting himself and others to this duty. He calls to think about the fact that this is the work of an angel (thus he consoles himself, realizing his own weakness and imperfection in the performance of this duty), that there is a world of holy angels who are in the house of God and glorify Him. Or briefly: blessed angels are glorified visitors to a blessed God. Note:

(1.) How they are perfectly suited to their position. They are able to carry out this service, because they are strong in strength; they are mighty in strength (literally);

they can do great things and do their work without wearying. And they are equally willing and able to do this work, obeying the voice of His word. They stand, waiting for instructions and instructions from their great Lord, and always see the face of the Heavenly Father (Mt. 18:10) in order to catch the slightest hints of His mind. They are willing to do this work: “They do his word (v. 20);

they do his will (v. 21);

they do not discuss His divine commands, but go forth willingly to carry them out.” They do not delay execution, but are swift in their actions. They fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word, or (as place dr Hammond) - as soon as they hear the voice of His word. Obedience is better than sacrifice, for angels obey but do not offer sacrifice.

(2.) What is their ministry. They are His angels and His servants, since He created them and created for Himself, since He gives them work, although He does not need them, since He is their Owner and Lord. They belong to Him and are at His disposal. All creatures are His servants, but not to the extent that angels visit the presence of His glory. Soldiers, sailors, all good subjects serve their king, but not to the same extent as courtiers, state servants and family members.

They serve God from time to time in this lower world, do His word and His commissions (Dan. 9:21), fight His battles (2 Kings 6:17), and serve for the good of His people (Heb. 1:14).

They constantly praise Him in the world above; they began to do it in time (Job 38:7), and still carry on this service, from which they have no rest day or night (Rev. 4:8). Thank God that He has such admirers, but even more glory to Him, since He does not need them and does not benefit from them.

2. Let all his works glorify him (v. 22) in all the places of his dominion, for they are his works and subject to him—were created for his name and glory. All His works, that is, all the sons of men in all corners of the earth, let us glorify God! Moreover, all the lower creatures, who are also the works of God, glorify Him to the best of your ability, if you cannot actually glorify Him (Ps. 145:10). But all this does not give David the right not to participate in the praise, but rather encourages him to give glory to God with more joy, to be a part of this choir, for he ends the psalm in the same way as he began: "Bless the Lord, my soul!" (Art. 1). Blessing God and praising Him should be the alpha and omega of all our ministries. He began the psalm with the words: “Bless the Lord, my soul!”, and after he wrote and sang this excellent psalm, he did not say: “Now, my soul, when you have blessed the Lord, sit down and calm down.” No, David says, "Bless, my soul, the Lord again and again!" Even when we serve the Lord very much, we must further encourage ourselves to serve. The glory of God is a topic that will never run out, and therefore we should not consider it complete until we get to heaven where we will be doing it forever.
