¹O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

¹Tužaljka. Davidova. Ispjeva je Jahvi zbog Kuša Benjaminovca.

²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

²O Jahve, Bože moj, tebi se utječem, od svih progonitelja spasi me, oslobodi,

³O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

³da mi dušu ne zgrabe kao lav što razdire, a nema tko da izbavi.

⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

⁴Jahve, Bože moj, ako to učinih, ako je nepravda na rukama mojim,

⁵Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

⁵ako zlom uzvratih prijatelju, ili oplijenih nepravedna tužitelja:

⁶Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁶neka mi dušmanin progoni dušu i zgrabi je, neka mi život u zemlju satre i jetru u prašinu baci.

⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

⁷Ustani, Jahve, u svom gnjevu, digni se na bijes tlačitelja mojih. Probudi se! Sud mi sazovi!

⁸The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁸Neka te okruži skupština narodna, nad njom sjedni visoko!

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

⁹O Jahve, dosudi mi pravo po pravosti mojoj i po nevinosti koja je u meni.

¹⁰My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

¹⁰Dokrajči bezakonje zlotvora, pravedna podigni, pravedni Bože koji proničeš srca i bubrege.

¹¹God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

¹¹Meni je štit Bog koji spasava čestita srca.

¹²If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹²Bog je pravedan sudac, on povazdan prijeti:

¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹³ako se ne obrate, mač će naoštriti, luk će svoj zapet' i pravo smjerit'.

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁴Spremit će za njih smrtonosno oružje, strijele će svoje užariti.

¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁵Eto, zlotvor zače nepravdu, otrudnje pakošću i podlost rodi.

¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁶Iskopa jamu i prodube; sam u jamu svoju pade!

¹⁷I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

¹⁷Pakost će njegova pasti njemu na glavu, njemu na tjeme okrenut se nasilje njegovo.

¹⁸A ja ću hvaliti Jahvu zbog pravde njegove i pjevat ću imenu Jahve višnjega.
