1Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
1Zborovođi. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad je Edomac Doeg Šaulu javio: "David je ušao u kuću Abimelekovu.
2The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
2Što se to hvališ pakošću, silniče nesmiljeni?
3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
3Neprestano snuješ o propasti, jezik ti je britva nabrušena, spletkaru!
4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
4Zlo voliš više nego dobro, i laž više nego pravednost!
5God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
5Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!
6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
6Bog će te zato satrti, zauvijek te ukloniti; iščupat će te iz tvog šatora, iskorijeniti iz zemlje živih.
7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
7Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
8"Gle čovjeka koji ne uze Boga za svoju zaštitu, već se uzdao u veliko bogatstvo i osilio u svojim zločinima!"
9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
9A ja, k'o zelena maslina u Domu Božjem, uzdam se u Božju dobrotu dovijeka.
10Hvalit ću te svagda što si to učinio i slavit ću tvoje ime, jer je dobrostivo, pred licem tvojih pobožnika.
