¹Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

¹Zborovođi. Prema napjevu "Golubica nijema u daljini". Davidov. Miktam. Kad su ga u Gatu uhitili Filistejci.

²Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

²Smiluj mi se, moj Bože, jer me dušmanin hoće zgaziti, napadač me moj neprestano tlači.

³What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

³Dušmani moji nasrću na me povazdan, mnogo ih je koji se na me obaraju. Svevišnji,

⁴In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

⁴kad me strah spopadne, u te ću se uzdati.

⁵Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁵Božje obećanje slavim, u Boga ja se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti smrtnik?

⁶They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

⁶Od jutra do večeri obružuju me, svi naumi njihovi meni su na zlo.

⁷Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

⁷Sastaju se i vrebaju, paze mi na korake, o glavi mi rade.

⁸Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

⁸Plati im prema bezakonju, u gnjevu, o Bože, obori pogane!

⁹When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

⁹Ti izbroji dane mog progonstva, sabrao si suze moje u mijehu svom. Nije li sve zapisano u knjizi tvojoj?

¹⁰In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

¹⁰Moji će dušmani uzmaknuti čim te zazovem. Ovo sigurno znam: Bog je za mene!

¹¹In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

¹¹Božje obećanje slavim,

¹²Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

¹²u Jahvu se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti čovjek?

¹³For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

¹³Vežu me zavjeti koje učinih tebi, o Bože: prinijet ću ti žrtve zahvalne

¹⁴jer si mi dušu od smrti spasio. Ti si očuvao noge moje od pada, da pred Bogom hodim u svjetlosti živih.
