Psalm 108 - prayer-curse. It contains the wish “Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.” Psalm 108 is David's prayer to the Lord, asking for vengeance on his enemies who are relentlessly persecuting him. This psalm is replete with curses, mainly directed at one of David's sworn enemies. Many people offer prayers for the death of their enemies. But not all of these prayers reach God. In addition, often evil thoughts directed against someone turn against the person praying. This means that in heaven those prayers that should be heard are heard. This psalm is similar to the cabalistic ritual of Pulse de Nura.

Opening Prayers:

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Lord Eternal Heavenly Father, You said with Your most pure lips that nothing can be done without You. I ask for your help! I begin every business with You, for Your glory and the salvation of my soul. And now, and forever, and forever and ever. Amen."

“Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Blessed One, our souls.”

"Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us"(3 times)

“All-Holy Trinity, God and Creator of the whole world, hasten and direct my heart, begin with reason and finish the good works of these God-inspired books, even the Holy Spirit will vomit the mouth of David, which I now want to say, I, unworthy, understanding my ignorance, falling down and praying to Ty , and asking for help from You: Lord, guide my mind and strengthen my heart, not about the words of the mouth of this cold, but about the words of the mind to rejoice, and prepare to do good deeds, even as I learn, and I say: yes good deeds enlightened, at the judgment of the right hand of Thy land I will be a partaker with all Thy chosen ones. And now, Vladyka, bless, and, sighing from my heart, I will sing with my tongue, saying to my face:

Come, let us worship our King God.

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King God.

Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and our God."

"Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be your name, let him come Your kingdom, Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”(3 times)

Closing prayers:

“Give thanks to Thy unworthy servants, O Lord, for Thy great good deeds upon us; we glorify Thee, bless, thank Thee, sing and magnify Thy compassion, and slavishly cry out to Thy love: O our Benefactor, glory to Thee. servants of indecency, having been vouchsafed, Master, we earnestly flow to You, we offer thanksgiving according to our strength, and as the Benefactor and Creator we glorify, we cry: glory to You, All-Bounteous God. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

"Theotokos, Christian Helper, Your servants, having acquired Your intercession, cry out to You in gratitude: Rejoice, Most Pure Virgin Mother of God, and always deliver us from all our troubles with Your prayers, One who will soon intercede. We thank Thee, Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, even from the first age to the present, in us, Thy unworthy servants (names), who were, known and unknown, about those revealed and unmanifested, even those who were in deed and in word: who loved us as and You deigned to give Your Only Begotten Son for us, making us worthy to be worthy of Your love. Grant with Your word wisdom and with Your fear inhale strength from Your power, and whether we have sinned, whether willingly or unwillingly, forgive and not impute, and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, having a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy love for mankind; and remember, O Lord, all who call upon Thy name in truth, remember all who desire good or evil against us: for all are men, and every man is in vain; We also pray to You, Lord, grant us Your great mercy."

"Cathedral of Saints Angel and Archangel, with all heavenly powers He sings to You and says: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, heaven and earth are filled with Your glory. Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest. Save me, Who art thou King on high, save me and sanctify me, Source of sanctification; For from You all creation is strengthened, To You countless warriors sing the Trisagion hymn. Unworthy of You, who sits in the unapproachable light, of whom all things are terrified, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my lips, so that I may worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord, always, now, and ever and to endless ages of ages. Amen."

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Thy Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.”

PSALMTER, Psalm 142 Psalm of David, when he was persecuted by his son Absalom.

God! Hear my prayer, heed my prayer according to Thy truth; Hear me according to Your righteousness and do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for not one living will be justified before You. The enemy pursues my soul, trampled my life into the ground, forced me to live in darkness, like those long dead - and my spirit became sad within me, my heart became numb within me. I remember the days of old, I meditate on all Your works, I reason about the works of Your hands. I stretch out my hands to You; my soul is drawn to You, like a thirsty land. Hear me soon, O Lord: my spirit faints; do not hide Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down to the grave. Grant me early hearing of Your mercy, for I trust in You. Show me, Lord, the path I should follow, for I lift up my soul to You. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I come running to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; May Your good Spirit lead me to the land of righteousness. For Thy name's sake, O Lord, quicken me; For the sake of Your righteousness, lead my soul out of adversity. And by Thy mercy destroy my enemies and destroy all who oppress my soul, for I am Thy servant.

PSALMS, Psalm 142.

Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in your truth, hear me in your righteousness; and do not enter into judgment with your servant, for no one living will be justified before you. For the enemy has driven away my soul; I humbled my belly to the ground; He planted me in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned from all your deeds, I have learned from the creation of your hand. My hands lift up to you; my soul is like a waterless land to you. Hear me soon, O Lord, my spirit has disappeared; do not turn your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear you show me your mercy in the morning, for I trust in you; tell me, Lord, the way, in the same way I will go, as if I took my soul to you. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have come to you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; Your good one will guide me to the right land. For your name's sake, Lord, live for me in your righteousness; remove my soul from sorrow; and consume your mercy by my enemies and destroy all my cold souls; for I am your servant.

Interpretation of Psalm 142

There is a certain continuity between this psalm and the previous one (compare Ps. 142:4,7 with Ps. 142:3). Before us again is a prayer for deliverance and the guidance of the Lord. The psalmist admits that there are no truly righteous people among people. He draws hope and consolation from thoughts of the mercies of the Lord, which were repeatedly shown to the Jewish people.

Ps. 142:1-4. Describing the hopelessness of his situation (verse 3), David prays to the Lord to hear him, because He, the Lord, is faithful and righteous (it is precisely the concepts of “faithfulness” and “righteousness”, as conveyed in the English Bible, that correspond to “truth” and “truth” " in Russian text); verse 1. Probably, in the current suffering, David also saw punishment for his sins: recognizing the inferiority of human righteousness, in comparison with the righteousness of the Lord (not one living... will be justified before You), David asks not to judge him, the servant of God, too harshly (verse 2).

Ps. 142:5-6. In reflecting on the wonderful works of God that were performed for the Jews in ancient days, the psalmist draws hope and consolation. And with even greater ardor he stretches out his hands to the Lord, Whom his soul thirsts for, like the earth for rain.

Ps. 142:7-12. In the context of verses 7 and 8, the words Soon (verse 7) and early (verse 8) are synonymous. The psalmist prays to the Lord for quick help, so that he does not lose heart completely (“not to become like those who go down to the grave”).

The meaning of verse 10 is obviously a request for constant guidance by the good Spirit of God, so that the one led (David) may do the will of the Lord in everything and live worthily in the land that the Lord has set aside for His righteous. For the sake of the righteousness (truth) of God, so that he can praise His name, David asks to “lead his soul out of adversity”, to return him the strength to live (revive me); verse 11.

1 Lord, hear my prayer, hear my cry for mercy, let Your truth and righteousness come to me.

2 Do not judge Your servant, for in comparison with You, no one is truly unrighteous.

3 But the enemy pursues me and, having plunged me into the mud, forces me to live in the darkness of the grave, like those who died many years ago.

4 Hope is leaving me, there is horror in my heart.

5 Remembering ancient times, I reflect on Your deeds, on what You have done with Your power.

6 In prayer I stretch out my hands to You, I wait for Your help, like a parched land thirsts for rain. Selah

7 I have lost heart, answer me quickly. Lord, don’t turn away from me, don’t let me die and go to the grave.

8 May the morning bring words of Your great love, because I believe in You. I entrust my life into Your hands, so guide me on the righteous path.

9 I seek salvation in You, Lord, protect me from enemy attacks.

10 Let me know what You want from me, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit guide me along a smooth path.

11 Don't let me die, Lord. Save from troubles and show Your kindness and justice.

12 Show me mercy and silence my enemies, and destroy them all, for I am Your faithful servant.

Written, according to the inscriptions of the Greek and Latin Bibles, during the persecution of Absalom, the psalm represents a prayer to God for possible quick help and inner enlightenment of the persecuted writer.

God! Hear me and do not enter into judgment with Your servant (1-2). The enemy is pursuing me; I lose courage and calm down only by thinking about Your works (3-5). I wait for help from You, like a thirsty land for rain. Grant me Your mercy and deliver me from my enemies (6–9). Teach me to do Your will and destroy my enemies (10–12).

Ps.142:1. God! Hear my prayer, heed my prayer according to Thy truth; hear me according to Your righteousness

Ps.142:2. and do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for not one living will be justified before You.

“Listen to my prayer according to Thy truth; hear me according to Thy righteousness.” Protect, O Lord, me, unjustly persecuted, and punish the persecutors as those who act wickedly, since You, Lord, are the defender of righteousness.

Ps.142:3. The enemy pursues my soul, trampled my life into the ground, forced me to live in darkness, like those long dead, -

“He trampled my life into the ground” - danger threatens me with death, descent into the ground, into the grave.

Ps.142:5. I remember the days of old, I meditate on all Your works, I reason about the works of Your hands.

“I remember the days of old, I meditate on all Your works, I consider the works of Your hands.” In the difficult circumstances of persecution, David recalled the extraordinary mercy that the Lord had shown in the history of the Jewish people, reflected, as far as circumstances allowed, on everything that He did, and reflected on all His creation. Obviously, these reflections had a calming effect on David, as they revealed the extraordinary love of God for all created things, which is why in the following verses David continues to turn to Him with a prayer for quick help (vv. 6–7).

Ps.142:8. Grant me early hearing of Your mercy, for I trust in You. Show me, [Lord], the path along which I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.

Ps.142:9. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I come running to You.

Ps.142:10. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; May Your good Spirit lead me to the land of righteousness.

“It’s too early to hear mercy” - to see ambulance. – “Show me... the path I should follow”, “teach me to do Your will”, “Let Your good Spirit lead me to the land of righteousness” - synonymous expressions. Teach me, Lord, to steadfastly follow Your commandments, so that I may be worthy to dwell in that land (Palestine), which You have appointed only for the righteous.

Ps.142:11. For Thy name's sake, O Lord, quicken me; For the sake of Your righteousness, lead my soul out of adversity.

“For Thy name's sake, O Lord, quicken me” - in order to be worthy to praise Your name, revive me with justification, internal cleansing of my shortcomings. Here, David’s recognition of some of his uncleanness before the Gods during his flight from his enemies is one of the signs of the origin of the psalm in the persecution of Absalom, which we discussed above.

This psalm is the last in the sixth psalm. Having strengthened a person in the hope of receiving salvation (Ps. 102), the Church, on behalf of the believers, prays to God to show him the path of activity (8 art.), teach him to do His will and honor him with the “land of righteousness” (10).

Lord, hear my prayer, inspire my prayer in Thy truth, hear me in Thy righteousness, and do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for no one living will be justified before You. As if the enemy drove my soul, he humbled my belly to eat, he planted me to eat in dark, like dead centuries. And my spirit is depressed within me, my heart is troubled within me. I have remembered the days of old, I have learned in all Your works, I have learned Your hand in all creation. My hands have lifted up to You, my soul, like a waterless land to You. Hear me soon, Lord, my spirit has disappeared, do not turn Your face away from me, and I will become like those who go down into the pit. I hear Thy mercy upon me in the morning, for I trust in Thee. Tell me, Lord, I will go the other way, because I have taken my soul to You. Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, I have fled to You. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Your Good Spirit will guide me to the right land. For Thy name's sake, O Lord, live me, by Thy righteousness remove my soul from sorrow. And by Thy mercy consume my enemies and destroy all my cold souls, for I am Thy servant.
