1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
1Davidov. Poučna pjesma. Blažen onaj kome je grijeh otpušten, kome je zločin pokriven!
2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
2Blago čovjeku kome Jahve ne ubraja krivnju i u čijemu duhu nema prijevare!
3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
3Prešutjet' sam htio, al' kosti mi klonuše od neprestana jecanja.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
4Danju i noću ruka me tvoja tištala, snaga mi se trošila k'o za ljetnih žega.
5I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
5Tad grijeh svoj tebi priznah i krivnju svoju više ne skrivah. Rekoh: "Priznat ću Jahvi prijestup svoj", i ti si mi krivnju grijeha oprostio.
6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
6Zato nek' ti se moli pobožnik svaki u času nevolje. Kad bujice silne navale, njega neće stići.
7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
7Utočište ti si moje, od tjeskobe ti ćeš me sačuvat', odjenut' me radošću spasenja.
8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
8Učit ću te, put ti kazat' kojim ti je ići, svjetovat ću te, oko će moje bdjeti nad tobom.
9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
9Ne budite kao konj ili mazga bez razuma: divljinu im krotiš vođicama i uzdom, inače im se ne primiči!
10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
10Bezbožnika taru mnoge nevolje, a tko se uzda u Jahvu, njega okružuje milost.
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
11Radujte se Jahvi i kličite, pravedni, kličite svi koji ste srca čestita!
