"They that hate Zion... shall be put to shame before the Lord"
hate Zion, shamed before the Lord
also: Ненавидящие Сиона... посрамистеся от господа
A Church Slavonic psalm verse that Feodosy sings offstage as he approaches through the dark -- part of a wandering pilgrim's habitual chant repertoire, its judgmental tone lending an ominous, disembodied prelude to his entrance.
Reading notes
- The Dead Body §16 They that hate Zion... shall be put to shame before the Lord
Feodosy sings a line drawn from the Psalter (cf. Psalm 129/128 in the Church Slavonic numbering), part of the everyday chant-repertoire of a wandering pilgrim; its ominous, judgmental tone -- heard disembodied out of the dark -- primes the reader for the terror his entrance will cause.
