¹Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

¹Zborovođi. Po napjevu "Ne pogubi!" Davidov. Miktam. Kad je Šaul opkolio kuću da ubije Davida.

²Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

²Izbavi me od dušmana, Bože moj, zaštiti me od mojih protivnika!

³For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

³Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!

⁴They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

⁴Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:

⁵Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

⁵bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,

⁶They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

⁶Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!

⁷Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

⁷Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.

⁸But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

⁸Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: "Tko nas čuje?"

⁹Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

⁹No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.

¹⁰The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

¹⁰Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.

¹¹Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

¹¹Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!

¹²For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

¹²Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.

¹³Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

¹³Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!

¹⁴And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

¹⁴Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!

¹⁵Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

¹⁵Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.

¹⁶But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

¹⁶Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.

¹⁷Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

¹⁷A ja ću opjevati silu tvoju i klicat ću jutrom milosrđu tvome, jer mi ti postade utočište i sklonište u dan nevolje.

¹⁸Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
