¹Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

¹Molitva nevoljnika koji je klonuo pa svoju tugu izlijeva

²Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

²Jahve, usliši molitvu moju, i vapaj moj k tebi da dođe!

³For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

³Nemoj sakrivati lice od mene u dan moje nevolje! Prigni k meni uho svoje: kad te prizovem, brzo me usliši!

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

⁴Jer moji dani nestaju poput dima, a moje kosti gore kao oganj.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

⁵Srce mi se suši kao pokošena trava i kruh svoj zaboravljam jesti.

⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

⁶Od snažnih jecaja mojih kosti mi uz kožu prionuše.

⁷I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

⁷Sličan sam čaplji u pustinji, postah k'o ćuk na pustoj razvalini.

⁸Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

⁸Ne nalazim sna i uzdišem k'o samotan vrabac na krovu.

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

⁹Svagda me grde dušmani moji; mnome se proklinju što bjesne na me.

¹⁰Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

¹⁰Pepeo jedem poput kruha, a piće svoje miješam sa suzama

¹¹My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

¹¹zbog tvoje ljutine i gnjeva, jer si me digao i bacio.

¹²But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

¹²Moji su dani k'o oduljena sjena, a ja se, gle, sušim poput trave.

¹³Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

¹³A ti, o Jahve, ostaješ dovijeka i tvoje ime kroza sva koljena.

¹⁴For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

¹⁴Ustani, smiluj se Sionu: vrijeme je da mu se smiluješ - sada je čas!

¹⁵So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁵Jer milo je slugama tvojim kamenje njegovo, žale ruševine njegove.

¹⁶When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

¹⁶Tad će se pogani bojati, Jahve, imena tvojega i svi kraljevi zemlje slave tvoje

¹⁷He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

¹⁷kad Jahve opet sazda Sion, kad se pokaže u slavi svojoj,

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

¹⁸kad se osvrne na prošnju ubogih i ne prezre molitve njihove.

¹⁹For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

¹⁹Nek' se zapiše ovo za budući naraštaj, puk što nastane neka hvali Jahvu.

²⁰To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

²⁰Jer Jahve gleda sa svog uzvišenog svetišta, s nebesa na zemlju gleda

²¹To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²¹da čuje jauke sužnjeva, da izbavi smrti predane,

²²When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

²²da se na Sionu navijesti ime Jahvino i njegova hvala u Jeruzalemu

²³He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

²³kad se narodi skupe i kraljevstva da služe Jahvi.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁴Putem je istrošio sile moje, skratio mi dane.

²⁵Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁵Rekoh: "Bože moj, nemoj me uzeti u sredini dana mojih! Kroza sva koljena traju godine tvoje.

²⁶They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁶U početku utemelji zemlju, i nebo je djelo ruku tvojih.

²⁷But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

²⁷Propast će, ti ćeš ostati, sve će ostarjeti kao odjeća. Mijenjaš ih poput haljine i nestaju:

²⁸The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

²⁸ti si uvijek isti - godinama tvojim nema kraja.

²⁹Djeca će tvojih slugu živjeti u miru i potomstvo će njihovo trajati pred tobom.
