Prayer "Alive in the help of the Most High" interpretation, the power of prayer, how prayer helps

The history of this prayer comes from the biblical book, which we know as " Old Testament”- where she was assigned the number 90 (this is how the name came about). Among Christians, prayer is defined by the first words - "Alive in help."

Opinions about the origin of prayer are somewhat divided. According to some sources, it was written by the Jewish king David. He wrote this prayer in the hope of healing his people from terrible disease which killed him. Historians write that this epidemic lasted only three days, and the prophet David wrote a Psalm as gratitude for God's great power - healing. Another prayer can be found under the name "David's Praise Song".

Other information says that the prayer was written by the prophet Moses. Despite disagreements and the lack of a common opinion about the origin of prayer, no one doubts its power. The interpretation of the Psalm is based on the fact that faith in the Savior has a special power.

Protector God - everyone who lives with hope and faith in God can find refuge and refuge, salvation from difficulties in life
God the Savior is the main defender of the Orthodox
Prayer points to prophecy - the coming to Earth of Christ, called to save and protect man

Prayer "Alive in the help of the Most High"

What is the meaning of each verse of the prayer? Let's figure it out:

Whoever has God's help will be kept by his strength. Help must be understood as the law of the commandments that the Savior gave to help a person from adversity and trouble
Who has strong faith he honors his Lord. The believer finds in God a safe haven, a protection he can hope for.
God will protect from physical violence, manifestations of sin, passion, protect from slander, and rest the soul of the believer
In a verse about truth we are talking about the need to be pure before God in your thoughts
Those who live in harmony with the Lord, receive blessings and help, are not afraid of bad people(robbers, thieves), physical and mental blows of fate
Whoever has the help of the Lord ceases to be afraid of things that tempt: laziness, carelessness
With God's help, you can learn to see someone who wants evil
If a person of deep faith is in great need of the help of his Savior, sees him as an intercessor, then he will be able to receive tremendous protection from the Lord
A person who trusts in God will be protected from bodily evil, will be protected from diseases and problems.
God, to help a person in need, sends Guardian Angels
Angels will hold the believer in their arms so that he does not trip over a stone. The symbol of the power of protection is the Hands of Angels, which will protect from temptation and sin, difficult circumstances in life. The stone is a symbol of vice, which acts as an obstacle in the manifestation of goodness.
God protect from scary snakes and predators. Names are given here poisonous snakes, such as asps and basilisks, which symbolize the unacceptable qualities inherent in a person: slander and envy (both one's own and from other people). large predators Lion and Dragon - a symbol of cruelty and heartlessness. A person with an honest and righteous soul will be able to overcome such negative traits.
A person hopes in God, because the Lord protects him all the time, protects him from the dangers of the world around him. The name of the Lord God can be recognized by the person who overcomes all sinful vices, can be above stupidity and cowardice, the one who sincerely lives according to the laws and commandments prescribed by the Defender
God will always hear the person who needs him if he calls him. God will be near in sorrow, in life, in the soul
The highest reward for a true believer will be eternal life, as well as a calm and long earthly life.

God hears everyone who calls him, who asks him, who trusts in him, God is like a caring "father" who wholeheartedly wants to help his child, find peace and quiet. The mercy of the Lord can also be received by a great sinner, who at the moment of conversion will show his faith and hope for help.

"Alive in help" in life, works wonders: examples from life

As you know, there are many stories in which the knowledge and reading of prayers, the belief that they help in times of danger and all sorts of difficulties, played a huge role. The actual prayer "Alive in Help" became during the Great Patriotic War.

So, eyewitnesses talk about how Psalm 90 performs its security function. During the war, the text of the prayer was sewn into the belt of a military uniform, and then sent into battle. Considering the attitude of the then authorities to Orthodox Church, all this, of course, was done secretly and on their own initiative. Perhaps this is how mothers tried to protect their sons, husbands, relatives from the destructive power of the enemy. Maybe that's how believing women saved many lives. A piece of paper sewn into the overcoat with the prayer “Alive in help” protected the soldier from the quick bullet of the invader and was the hope of salvation during the hostilities.
From post-war memories common man Leonid Mozgovoy's story of the hero's childhood has come down to us. As a child who lost his father in the war in 1941, the boy was left in the care of his grandfather and sister. In memory of his mother, he only had one photograph and a piece of paper with the prayer “Alive in the help of the Most High.” My sister carefully sewed this piece of paper into a sleeveless jacket, during her childhood she diligently followed it and kept it, later, she made me learn it by heart. In those days, children found grenades, cartridges, shells, boasted of their trophies, there were accidents, but obviously God kept our hero.

There were street fights with knives and brass knuckles, many guys began to steal, prayer was still with the boy and kept him. There was a moment when the treasured sheet was lost, and was found only on the day of our hero's departure. It would seem, well, what is unusual and supernatural in this? It was only on that fateful day that Lenya went on a business trip, where an accident occurred in which two comrades died, and only he remained intact. Later, with age, when Leonid had children and grandchildren, he recalled his mother, who, in memory of herself, left a charm that kept her son all his life.
There are still examples of how the miraculous power of prayer can heal ailments. Very often people come to the church who are refused medicine, who are left alone with their illness. In this case, the priest listens to the person and usually recommends reading a prayer, always believing in speedy recovery. Before this, of course, you need to confess, take communion, and only then proceed to reading the guarding prayer. The psalm is read every day. There are known cases of healing from blindness, deafness, psychological disorders, tumors and other serious illnesses. The main thing is to read the words and the text of the prayer diligently, so that the Lord God hears, inspires faith in the soul for healing and recovery.

Prayer "Alive in help" in Old Church Slavonic with stress

The reading and use of the prayer "Alive in Help" originates from Old Slavonic times. In those days, a knot on a ribbon or belt was considered a magical link that carried fantastic strength and protection.

The Slavs thought that prayer protects precisely when a person wears it on himself. However, at that time, the prayer, of course, was used in Old Church Slavonic.

From the first time, it is difficult to listen and read the Psalm in this form, since today few people can boast of knowledge of the Old Church Slavonic language. It is for this reason that the text of the protective prayer can also be found in Russian.

When to read the prayer "Alive in help"?

Physical (war, persecution by the authorities or the enemy, infringement by superiors)
Mental (evil thoughts, sins, desires)

To protect the child. If a child constantly carries the text of the Psalm with him, then his miraculous words will always protect the baby from big troubles, including illness and even death.
When you start a new responsible task or business, you need to read the words of a prayer, then the implementation of the plan will not cause difficulties

It is also worth mentioning some prayer rules which priests and deeply religious people recommend observing:

You need to read the text with a pure soul and sincerely
Penetrate the meaning of every word spoken
Honestly ask God for blessings and mercy
Every day should start with prayer.
Prayer should be read several times a day

The prayer "Living in help" has truly huge force that can work wonders. I would like to draw your attention to only one fact: in order for God to hear your prayer and your requests for help, you must first of all be honest with yourself. Only those who sincerely believe will receive the blessing of the Lord and his help.

Prayer "Living help" (90 psalm)

There are in Orthodoxy that every believer knows. These are “Our Father”, “Song of the Mother of God” and “Symbol of Faith”. There is another, no less powerful prayer, which, as it were, opens the door to God for everyone who turns and asks for help. Otherwise, it is called the protective Prayer of Living Help - Psalm 90, which is included in the Psalter. This prayer is well known, popular not only among religious people, but also among those who believe in the powers of the Universe and God the Creator.

It is believed that this prayer should be read only after the blessing for reading from the Holy Father. I don't think it's that important or necessary. All our appeals to God do not require anyone's permission. It's not to get to the president for an appointment.

You can read a prayer in the Temple in front of the face of Christ or at home in front of the home iconostasis. It is important to be baptized yourself and to have a creed on you.
The text of the prayer is rather difficult, it’s good if you manage to remember its words and memorize it, if not, it’s not scary, read it from a piece of paper. But not from the monitor! All prayers must be copied on a piece of paper.

While reading a prayer, it is important to focus more than ever, discard extraneous thoughts and believe in a successful outcome.

Prayer Living help

The text is given in Old Slavonic:

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of Heaven will settle.

The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

Yako Toy will deliver you from the network of hunters, and from rebellious words.

His splash will overshadow you and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon.

Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying into the days.

From a thing in the darkness of the transient, from a screech and a demon of noon.

A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness at your right hand; will not come close to you.

Both look at your eyes and see the retribution of sinners.

As You, O Lord, are my hope. Thou hast laid Thy refuge on the Most High.

Evil will not come to you. And the wound will not come near your body.

As if by His Angel I commanded about you, keep you in all your ways.

They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone.

Step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent.

As if I trusted in Me and deliver, and: I will cover and, as if I knew My name.

He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him, and I will glorify him.

With length of days I will fulfill him, and I will show him my salvation.

Prayer option in Russian

He who lives under the roof of the Most High under the shadow of the Almighty rests, says to the Lord: “My refuge and my protection, my God, in whom I trust!” He will deliver you from the snare of the catcher, from the fatal plague, with his feathers will overshadow you, and under His wings you will be safe; a shield and a fence are His truth. You will not be afraid of terrors in the night, of an arrow flying by day, of a plague that walks in darkness, of a pestilence that devastates at noon. A thousand will fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you: you will only look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked. For you said, "The Lord is my hope"; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge; evil will not happen to you, and the plague will not come near your dwelling; for he will command his angels about you to guard you in all your ways: they will lift you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone; you step on an asp and a basilisk; you will trample on the lion and the dragon. “Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him; I will satisfy him with long life, and I will show him My salvation.”

When is it important to read the prayer "Living in help"

Living help, as you have already noticed from the text, is primarily a protective prayer and therefore is read in the following moments:

at a time of high danger and fear;
when there is a threat of falling into sin or committing evil deeds;
during the invasion of enemies, in the war;
when the sick person especially needs the help of healing, and other prayers do not bring improvement in his condition;
when success or victory is especially important in the name of something important, for example, in sports.

In a word, in all extremely critical cases.

The text of the prayer can be rewritten on a piece of paper and always have it with you as a security amulet.

Psalm 90 security bracelets are also often offered, which are worn on the wrist. And they are endowed with great power.

In this article you will find stories related to the 90th psalm “Alive in the help of the Most High”, as well as the text of the psalm itself, which was written by King David.

The ninetieth psalm is important in our spiritual life and is loved by many Orthodox Christians. The psalm is read when people need special protection: when they are scared, when they find themselves in a difficult situation and do not know how to cope with it without help from above. The 90th psalm contains great hope in God as the Defender and the understanding that God does not punish people for their misdeeds, but helps them. Some memorize the text of the psalm, someone carries a belt with the 90th psalm, someone writes the text in a notebook. It is important to understand that without firm faith, without an understanding of what King David's psalm says, none of this matters.

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of Heaven will settle, - this means that the one who lives, hoping in God, lives under the roof of Heaven, under the protection of the Lord. God spreads His Cover over the believer. God keeps man under a heavenly roof. How does a believer feel in his own home in this world if he prays, reads the 90th psalm and turns to God as to the Father and Defender.

The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. As if Toy will deliver you from the catcher’s network, and from the rebellious word, His splash will overshadow you, and you hope under His wings - no matter what dangers lie in wait for a person, God can protect us from any of them. God covers us with His Hands, supports us, as parents support their baby under the arms. We are under the wing of the Lord, as a bird covers its chicks with its wings to protect them from danger.

Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the things in the darkness of the transient, from the scum, and the demon of the afternoon. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, both look at your eyes, and see the reward of sinners. As you, Lord, my hope, the Most High have laid down your refuge, God turns with His mercy to each of us, if we turn to Him with sincere faith, tries to live according to the commandments of God. There are many sorrows and trials in a person's life, but for those who go through them with sincere hope in God, it is easier to endure them.

Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body, as if by His Angel a commandment about you, save you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone, step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him, I will fulfill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation - confidence in God's help, that He will definitely hear us and come, helps us to cope with difficulties and sometimes shows real miracles. After all, everything that is not subject to man is subject to God. It is for this, in order to feel the support of the Lord, that the 90th psalm is usually read - Living in the help of the Most High.

Alive in the help of the Most High. How does prayer help people?

Alive in the help of the Most High

I have long been collecting and writing down stories related to the 90th psalm, the famous prayer “Alive in the help of the Most High ...” This prayer, written by the Israeli king David (XI-X centuries BC) on the occasion of the deliverance of his people from a three-day pestilence, some special fate in Russia. Many of these stories are connected with the Great Patriotic War.

“In the fall of 1941, I was seven years old, my sister Sonechka was five. It so happened that we left for the evacuation to Aktyubinsk only in the spring of 1942, so we were in Moscow during the terrible autumn and winter of the first year of the war. My father Gushchin Andrei Fedotovich, despite his poor eyesight, volunteered for the militia. There he died. My mother Alexandra Filippovna, a doctor, spent all her time in the hospital, and Sonechka and I stayed with our grandmother, Natalya Timofeevna. Grandmother was from a peasant family, and moved to us in Moscow from the famine of the late thirties from the Bryansk region. My memories of the war are fragmentary. For some reason, I don’t remember how the war began, but I remember well the feeling of hunger, and how in the fall of 1941 I went with my grandmother to the fields to collect cabbage leaves. The fields were somewhere in the Sokol area. I remember very well the smell and taste of these leaves - we cleaned them of rot and ate them, frozen, and my grandmother cooked cabbage soup from them, very tasty.

I remember how all autumn they were talking about some Guderian: “Guderian approached Tula, Guderian creeps up to Moscow ...” For me, a child, this word “Guderian” for some reason was associated with some kind of huge snake - an asp, a basilisk, I I saw these in a book. I remember how once my grandmother and I were on business in the center, and suddenly it began to snow, and the snow was black. And a woman passing by, in a voice breaking into a squeal, wailed: “Lord, the end of the world has come!”

I remember how my grandmother, angry, firmly grabbing my hand, said: “No one knows the day or the hour. And even if an angel from heaven begins to announce the end of the world, let him be anathema.” Now I understand that these were words from the Gospel. We quickly returned home. On that day, I learned the 90th psalm “Alive in the help of the Most High ...” Maybe from malnutrition, my memory was bad in childhood, even the multiplication table was difficult for me, but I remembered the prayer quickly. Grandmother made Sonya and I repeat it until we learned it. Since then, we have been praying every evening. And one more thing: my grandmother strictly punished us so that we would not tell anyone about this. We went for cabbage leaves almost all autumn, but I remember how one day a neighbor said that Guderian came very close, he was in the Sokol metro area, right by our cabbage fields. That evening we prayed for a long time, grandmother, I think, all night - as I see her now, kneeling in front of the icon. And the night was frosty. And Guderian's technique stood up.

I, a child, had the feeling that this happened, because we - me, Sonechka and grandmother, were praying. “They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone, step on the asp and basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent.” And my grandmother was so enlightened, joyful in the morning, I saw her like that only once, when her eldest son Valerian returned from exile, after the war. She told us that on this day, when Guderian stood near Moscow, there was a big holiday - Entry into the Temple Holy Mother of God. Then the 90th psalm helped me more than once. My grandmother passed away in my sleep in 1956, when I had already graduated from the institute. Of the five grandmother's sons, only Nikanor returned from the war.

Gushchina Natalya Andreevna

“I was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army in December 1941. When I was leaving for the front, my mother gave me a sheet with the prayer “Alive in the help of the Most High” and ordered me to sew it into my tunic. I know that many soldiers had this prayer sewn up. Some in a tunic, some in the lining of an overcoat. It was also popularly called "Living Help" or even "Living Help", sometimes "Soldier's Help". They knew that she worked miracles - usually mothers were given a sheet with a prayer written by hand. I think she saved me more than once. Once, he brought shells on horseback, and the bombing began. I decided to hide with the horses - under a canopy near the house there were free place, but one of the officers standing there started shouting at me: “Where are you with the shells! Turn back, turn back!" And as soon as I drove back, on a bare, uncovered place, as if in a house, a shell fell with a direct hit. No one was left alive ... Until the 44th, prayer was always with me, and then it was lost. We were taken to the bathhouse, and from lice all the clothes were collected in a boiling tank. I managed to answer the prayer, but when we were steaming, an attack began, and I lost the sheet. But this prayer, I believe, was already in my heart. When he was wounded in 1944, while he was conscious, he prayed. The doctor later told me that I was born in a shirt. “Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body, as if by His Angel a commandment about you, save you in all your ways.” Finished the war in Germany, on the Elbe. Came through Battle of Stalingrad, the battle on the Kursk Bulge, was wounded, but returned home to his mother alive, and even with military awards - isn’t it a miracle?

Petr Egorovich Zavyalov

“I was born on February 4, 1942, in Moscow. My mother, Anastasia Ivanovna, died when I was not even a year old, she had a heart defect, she was twenty-two. Dad was taken to the front in August 1941, he died in 1944, and my grandfather Pavel Stepanovich and his sister raised me, I called her Aunt Raya. I have only two things left from my mother.

The photo where they are with their father is just on the day they met: young, cheerful, in love. It was April 1941. And another sheet with the prayer "Alive in the help of the Most High." The paper on which the prayer was written by my mother's hand is very unusual - thin, but strong, I have never seen anything like it. Similar to the paper money is printed on, but better. Where did mom get it from? A riddle… My aunt wrapped this sheet of prayer in a handkerchief and sewed it to my sleeveless jacket. When she washed it, she ripped off the handkerchief with a prayer, and then sewed it on again. When I grew up, my aunt made me learn the prayer by heart. I grew up in the yard, street, and my mother's prayer, I think, saved me more than once. Post-war children, we were very risky - we held grenades and cartridges, for example, I had a whole arsenal - it was considered chic, one kid from the yard died.

There were serious fights - with brass knuckles, knives, but nothing, God bless. Many guys, in fact not bad, were drawn into theft. And although I grew up without parents, I even graduated from the institute. Prayer kept me. “He who lives in the help of the Most High, will dwell in the blood of the God of heaven.” When I was already an adult, this half-decayed leaf hurt somewhere. I searched and searched and forgot about it. And one day, years later, he found himself - fell out of the book. And I put it in my pocket. On that day, I went on a business trip to Orel, the three of us were driving in a car, and an accident happened at night. My comrades died, but nothing to me.

I didn’t think before, but now, with age, when I myself have both children and five grandchildren, I often think about my mother at night. I think about what she felt then, in the autumn and winter in the first year of the war, in Moscow, what she thought when I was born. It turns out that she gave me life at the cost of her life” Leonid Petrovich Mozganov.

Wars are only started by people, God Himself ends them. Without taking this into account, even the most detailed chronicle of the Great Patriotic War will be incomplete. Unfortunately, the topic of the spiritual, prayerful feat of our people during the war years is a poorly studied topic. And we ask you, dear readers of the folk " Russian newspaper”, send us your testimonies of God's help during the Great Patriotic War. Let's write this chronicle together.

From time immemorial, wearing a belt or braid has been attached special meaning. Often, ribbons or threads tied on the body served. By itself, tying something was perceived as a process of overcoming - a sick person is tied with a thread, tying a knot, which means that he tied his illness into a knot. The thread with such a knot was then buried under a dry tree or burned. Wearing a protective belt with the Living Help prayer in Russian has a strong security value. Since ancient times, such a belt has brought well-being and health to the person wearing it and has been a very strong amulet that can ward off all bad things from its owner.

Old Believer and Orthodox belts Living help with prayer

Historians, studying the text inscriptions on peasant textiles, found out that Living Help belts with prayer in Russian were widespread among both Orthodox and Old Believers. Previously, Orthodox monasteries were mainly engaged in the manufacture of such belts, sometimes Old Believers made them in sketes, and very rarely such belts were made by the peasants themselves. The belt served and troubles. A thin mesh belt was woven, each knot on which was charmed with the guard words “Living Aid”. Prayers in Russian woven on braids, ribbons, fabrics protected from diseases, such belts were worn under clothes on a naked body.

Yako He will deliver me from the snares of the net, and from the rebellious word, His splash will overshadow thee, and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon. Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from an arrow flying in the days, from a transient thing in the darkness, from a scum and a demon at noon. A thousand will fall from your country, and the darkness at your right hand will not come close to you, but look at your eyes, and see the retribution of sinners. As you, O Lord, are my hope, the Most High have laid down your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body: as if by Your Angel a commandment about you, save you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone, step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him, and I will glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life, and I will show him My salvation.
