¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

¹Davidov. ALEF Nemoj se žestiti na opake, zavidjet nemoj pakosnicima:

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

²kao trava brzo se osuše, k'o mlada zelen brzo uvenu.

³Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

³BET U Jahvu se uzdaj i čini dobro, da smiješ stanovati u zemlji i živjeti u miru.

⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

⁴Sva radost tvoja neka bude Jahve: on će ispuniti želje tvoga srca!

⁵Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

⁵GIMEL Prepusti Jahvi putove svoje, u njega se uzdaj i on će sve voditi.

⁶And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

⁶Pravda će tvoja zasjati k'o svjetlost i tvoje pravo k'o sunce podnevno.

⁷Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

⁷DALET Smiri se pred Jahvom i njemu se nadaj, ne žesti se na onog koji ima sreće, na čovjeka koji spletke kuje.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

⁸HE Stišaj svoj gnjev i ostavi se srdžbe, ne žesti se da zlo ne učiniš.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

⁹Jer će biti satrti zlikovci, a koji se u Jahvu uzdaju, baštinit će zemlju.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

¹⁰VAU Još malo i nestat će bezbožnika: mjesto ćeš njegovo tražiti, a njega više nema.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹¹Zemlju će posjedovati krotki, obilje mira oni će uživat'.

¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

¹²ZAJIN Bezbožnik smišlja zlo pravedniku i zubima škrguće na njega.

¹³The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

¹³A Gospod se njemu smije jer vidi da dan njegov dolazi.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

¹⁴HET Mač potežu bezbošci i zapinju lukove da obore jadnika i siromaha, da pokolju one koji hode pravim putem.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

¹⁵Mačem će vlastito srce probiti, slomit će se njihovi lukovi.

¹⁶A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

¹⁶TET Bolje je i malo u pravednika no golemo blago u zlotvora:

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁷jer će se ruke zlotvora slomiti, a Jahve je oslon pravedniku.

¹⁸The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁸JOD Jahve se brine za život čestitih, dovijeka će trajati baština njihova.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

¹⁹Neće se postidjeti u vrijeme nevolje, bit će siti u danima gladi.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

²⁰KAF A bezbožnici će propasti, dušmani Jahvini povenut će k'o ures livada, poput dima se rasplinuti.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

²¹LAMED Bezbožnik zaima, ali ne vraća, pravednik se sažaljeva i daje.

²²For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

²²Oni koje Jahve blagoslovi baštinit će zemlju, a koje prokune bit će zatrti.

²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

²³MEM Jahve vodi i učvršćuje korake čovjeku i mio mu je put njegov.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

²⁴Ako i posrne, ne pada jer ga Jahve drži za ruku.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

²⁵NUN Mlad bijah i ostarjeh, al' ne vidjeh pravednika napuštena ili da mu djeca kruha prose.

²⁶He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

²⁶Uvijek je milosrdan i u zajam daje, na njegovu je potomstvu blagoslov.

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

²⁷SAMEK Zla se kloni i čini dobro, i ostat ćeš dovijeka.

²⁸For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁸Jer Jahve ljubi pravdu i pobožnika svojih ne ostavlja. AJIN Zauvijek će biti zatrti zlikovci, istrijebit će se potomstvo bezbožnika.

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

²⁹Zemlju će posjedovati pravednici i živjet će na njoj dovijeka.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

³⁰PE Pravednikova usta mudrost kazuju, a jezik njegov govori pravo.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

³¹Zakon mu je Božji u srcu, ne kolebaju se koraci njegovi.

³²The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

³²SADE Bezbožnik vreba pravednoga i smišlja da ga usmrti.

³³The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

³³Jahve ga neće ostaviti u njegovoj vlasti i neće dopustiti da ga na sudu osude.

³⁴Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

³⁴KOF U Jahvu se uzdaj i drži se puta njegova: on će te uzvisit' i baštinit ćeš zemlju; radostan ćeš gledati propast bezbožnih.

³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

³⁵REŠ Vidjeh obijesna zlotvora gdje se k'o cedar krošnjat širi.

³⁶Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

³⁶Prođoh, i gle - nema ga više; potražih ga i ne nađoh.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

³⁷ŠIN Promatraj čestita i gledaj neporočna: mirotvorac ima potomstvo.

³⁸But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

³⁸A grešnici bit će svi iskorijenjeni, istrijebit će se zlikovačko sjeme.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

³⁹TAU Od Jahve dolazi spas pravednicima, on im je zaklon u vrijeme nevolje.

⁴⁰And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

⁴⁰Jahve im pomaže, on ih izbavlja: on će ih izbaviti od zlotvora i spasiti, jer u njemu traže okrilje.
