Радуйтесь, праведные, о Господе—Rejoice, O righteous, in the Lord




Радоваться…, даже когда трудно и больно, даже когда слёзы в глазах и нет сил.
Даже когда привычный мир вокруг рушится, не надломиться,  не погаснуть,  а выстоять там, где, казалось бы, выстоять невозможно. Потому что: «…душа наша уповает на Господа: Он - помощь наша и защита наша!»


To rejoice ... even when it is difficult and painful, even when there are tears in my eyes and I have no strength.
Even when the familiar world around is collapsing, not to break down, not to go out, but to stand where it would seem impossible to stand. Because: "... our soul trusts in the Lord: He is our help and our protection!"



Псалом 32 in the Russian Bible
Psalm 33 in the English Bible

-------------More straight forward English-------------
 
Rejoice, O righteous, in the Lord; to the righteous it is proper to praise.
Praise the Lord on the harp, sing to Him on ten-string psalter.

Chorus:
    Sing to Him a new song;
    sing to Him gracefully with a loud exclamation,

For the Word of the Lord is right and all His works are true.
He loves truth and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

--Chorus--

Our souls trust in the Lord:
    He is our help and our protection;
Upon Him our hearts rejoice,
    for in His holy name we trust.

--Chorus--






PS. Don't some of the chord sequences sound a bit like Yanni's One Man's Dream?
