¹O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

¹Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.

²Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

²Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!

³LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

³Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?

⁴How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

⁴Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?

⁵They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

⁵Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;

⁶They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

⁶kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju

⁷Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

⁷i govore: "Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!"

⁸Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

⁸Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?

⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

⁹Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?

¹⁰He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

¹⁰Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?

¹¹The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

¹¹Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

¹²Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:

¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

¹³da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.

¹⁴For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁴Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;

¹⁵But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁵jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

¹⁶Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?

¹⁷Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

¹⁷Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.

¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

¹⁸Čim pomislim: "Noga mi posrće", dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.

¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

¹⁹Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.

²⁰Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

²⁰Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

²¹Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:

²²But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.

²²Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.

²³And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

²³Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
