1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
1Hodočasnička pjesma. "Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili" - neka rekne sad Izrael!
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
2"Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili, ali me ne svladaše.
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
3Po leđima su mojim orači orali, duge brazde povlačili.
4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
4Al' Jahve pravedni isiječe užeta zlikovcima!"
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
5Nek' se postide i uzmaknu svi koji mrze Sion!
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
6Nek' budu k'o trava na krovu što povene prije nego je počupaju.
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
7Žetelac njome ne napuni ruku ni naručje onaj koji veže snopove.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
8A prolaznici nek' ne reknu: "Blagoslov Jahvin nad vama! Blagoslivljamo vas imenom Jahvinim!"
