¹Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

¹Palveteekonna laul. Palju on mind rõhutud mu noorpõlvest peale - nõnda ütelgu Iisrael -,

²Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

²palju on mind rõhutud mu noorpõlvest peale: ometi ei ole minust jagu saadud.

³The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

³Mu selja peal on kündjad kündnud, nad on ajanud pikki vagusid.

⁴The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

⁴Issand on õiglane, ta on õelate köied katki lõiganud.

⁵Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

⁵Jäägu häbisse ja taganegu kõik, kes vihkavad Siionit!

⁶Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

⁶Nad olgu nagu rohi katustel, mis kuivab, enne kui see kitkutakse,

⁷Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁷millest lõikaja ei saa endale peotäit ega siduja sületäit

⁸Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

⁸ja möödaminejad ei ütle: 'Issanda õnnistus olgu teiega! Me õnnistame teid Issanda nimega!'
