¹Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

¹LAMED Zašto, Jahve, stojiš daleko, zašto se skrivaš u dane tjeskobe?

²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

²Obijesni bezbožnik jadnika goni, u zamke ga hvata koje mu postavi.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

³Bezbožnik se pohlepom hvali, NUN lakomac psuje i Jahvu prezire.

⁴The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁴Bezbožnik zbori u obijesti svojoj: "Ne, istrage nema! TÓa ni Boga nema!" I u tome sva mu je misao.

⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁵Puti su mu svagda uspješni, na sudove tvoje on i ne misli, sve protivnike svoje prezire.

⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

⁶U srcu veli: "Neću posrnuti! Ni u kojem koljenu neću biti nesretan."

⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

⁷PE Usta mu puna kletve, lukavstva i prijevare, pod jezikom njegovim muka i nesreća.

⁸He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

⁸U zasjedi čuči pokraj ograda, potajno ubija nevina, AJIN očima siromaha vreba.

⁹He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

⁹U zaklonu sjedi k'o lav u pećini, vreba da opljačka jadnika i da ga povuče u mrežu.

¹⁰He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

¹⁰Pritajen čuči na zemlji, od nasilja mu siromasi padaju.

¹¹He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

¹¹U srcu svome veli: "ZÓaboravi Gospod, odvrati lice i nikoga ne vidi!"

¹²Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

¹²KOF Ustani, Gospode Bože, podigni ruku, ne zaboravi siromaha.

¹³Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

¹³Zašto da bezbožnik prezire Boga, zašto da kaže u srcu: "Neće kazniti!"

¹⁴Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

¹⁴REŠ Jer ti vidiš, gledaš jad i nevolju, u ruci je mjeriš. Siromah se tebi predaje, ubogu ti si pomoć!

¹⁵Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

¹⁵ŠIN Pakosnu grešniku satri mišicu, kazni mu pakost da je više ne bude!

¹⁶The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

¹⁶Jahve je kralj u vijeke vjekova, iz zemlje njegove nestat će pogana.

¹⁷LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

¹⁷TAU Počuj, o Jahve, čežnju siromašnih, okrijepi im srce, uho prikloni:

¹⁸To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

¹⁸da zaštitiš pravo ubogih i tlačenih, da straha više ne zadaje čovjek zemljanÄi.
