¹Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

¹Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.

²Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

²Izbavi me, Jahve, od čovjeka zlobna, zaštiti me od čovjeka nasilna:

³They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

³od onih koji pakosti u srcu smišljaju i čitav dan začinju kavge.

⁴Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁴Kao zmije bruse jezike svoje, pod usnama im je otrov ljutičin.

⁵The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

⁵Spasi me, Jahve, od ruku zlotvora, čuvaj me od čovjeka nasilna koji hoće da mi noga posrne.

⁶I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

⁶Oholice mi potajno nastavljaju zamku, užetima mrežu pletu, kraj puta klopke mi stavljaju.

⁷O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

⁷Zavapih Jahvi: "Ti si Bog moj! Poslušaj, o Jahve, krik mojih molitava!

⁸Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸Jahve, Gospode moj, spasitelju silni moj, u dan boja zakloni mi glavu!"

⁹As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

⁹Ne daj da se ispune želje zlotvora, ne daj da svoje on izvrši namjere!

¹⁰Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

¹⁰Nek' glavu ne podignu oni koji me opkoliše, nek' na njih padne zloba njihovih usana!

¹¹Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹¹Nek' daždi po njima ugljevlje ognjeno, nek' se strovale u jamu da više ne ustanu!

¹²I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

¹²Opadač se neće održat' na zemlji, silnika će odjednom zgrabiti nesreća.

¹³Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

¹³Znam da će Jahve dati pravo ubogu i pravicu siromasima.

¹⁴Zaista, pravedni će tvoje ime slaviti, pred tvojim će licem boraviti čestiti.
