1O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
1Psalam. Asafov. Bože, pogani, evo, provališe u baštinu tvoju, tvoj sveti Hram oskvrnuše, pretvoriše Jeruzalem u ruševine.
2The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
2Trupla tvojih slugu dadoše za hranu pticama nebeskim, meso tvojih pobožnika zvijerima zemaljskim.
3Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
3Krv im k'o vodu prolijevahu oko Jeruzalema i ne bijaše nikoga da ih pokopa.
4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
4Postadosmo sramota susjedima svojim, podsmijeh i ruglo svima oko nas.
5How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
5Dokle još, Jahve? Zar ćeš se svagda srditi? Zar će ljubomora tvoja poput ognja gorjeti?
6Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
6Izlij gnjev na pogane koji te ne priznaju i na kraljevstva što ne zazivlju ime tvoje!
7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
7Jer izjedoše Jakova i opustošiše boravište njegovo.
8O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
8Ne spominji se, protiv nas, grijeha otaca; neka nas pretekne smilovanje tvoje jer smo jadni i nevoljni.
9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
9Pomozi nam, Bože, pomoći naša, zbog slave imena svojega, oslobodi nas i otpusti nam grijehe zbog imena svoga!
10Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
10Zašto da pogani govore: "TÓa gdje je njihov Bog?" Nek' se na poganima pokaže, pred očima našim, kako osvećuješ prolivenu krv slugu svojih!
11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
11Nek' do tebe dopru uzdasi sužanja, snagom svoje mišice poštedi predane smrti!
12And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
12A našim susjedima vrati sedmerostruko u krilo pogrdu koju naniješe tebi, o Jahve!
13So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
13A mi, tvoj puk i ovce paše tvoje, slavit ćemo te dovijeka, kazivat ćemo od koljena do koljena hvalu tvoju!
