1I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
1Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad bijaše u spilji. Molitva.
2I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
2Iz svega glasa vapijem Jahvi, iz svega glasa Jahvu zaklinjem.
3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
3Pred njim svoju izlijevam tužaljku, tjeskobu svoju pred njim razastirem.
4I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
4Ako duh moj i klone u meni, ti put moj poznaješ. Na putu kojim prolazim potajnu mi zamku staviše.
5I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
5Obazrem li se nadesno i pogledam: nitko ne zna za mene. Nemam kamo pobjeći, nitko za život moj ne mari.
6Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
6K tebi, Jahve, vapijem; govorim: ti si mi utočište, ti si dio moj u zemlji živih.
7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
7Poslušaj moje vapaje jer sam veoma nevoljan. Izbavi me od gonitelja mojih jer od mene oni su moćniji.
8Izvedi iz tamnice dušu moju da zahvaljujem imenu tvojemu. Oko mene će se okupiti pravednici zbog dobra što si ga iskazao meni.
