¹Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

¹Zakaj stojiš oddaleč, o GOSPOD? Zakaj se skrivaš ob časih stiske?

²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

²Prevzetnost brezbožnika hudo straši ubožca. Ujamejo se naj v naklepih, katere izmišljajo.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

³Kajti brezbožnik se hvali z željami duše svoje in lakomnik se odreka GOSPODA in ga zaničuje.

⁴The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁴Brezbožnik v napuhu obraza svojega govori: Saj ne bo kaznoval, ni Boga. To so vse misli njegove.

⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁵Varna so pota njegova v vsakem času; previsoko so pogledu njegovemu sodbe tvoje; na svoje nasprotnike piha prezirljivo.

⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

⁶V srcu svojem govori: Ne ganem se, od roda do roda bodem brez nesreče.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

⁷Kletve polna so usta njegova in zvijač in zatiranja; pod jezikom njegovim je nadloga in krivica.

⁸He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

⁸Poseda na preži po vaseh, v zakotju ubija nedolžnega, oči njegove prežé na onemoglega.

⁹He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

⁹V skrivališču preži kakor lev v svojem brlogu, preži, da zgrabi siromaka; že ga prijema ter vleče vstran v mreži svoji.

¹⁰He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

¹⁰Sključi se, potuhne se, in onemogli padajo v krepke kremplje njegove.

¹¹He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

¹¹V srcu svojem govori: Pozabil je Bog mogočni, obličje svoje skriva, nikoli ne bo videl tega.

¹²Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

¹²Vstani, o GOSPOD! Bog mogočni, dvigni roko svojo, ne pozabi ubogih.

¹³Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

¹³Zakaj sme brezbožnik zaničevati Boga in v srcu svojem govoriti, da ne boš kaznoval?

¹⁴Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

¹⁴Videl si to; zakaj ti gledaš nadlogo in gorje, da povrneš s svojo roko; brambi tvoji se izroča nesrečni, siroti si ti pomočnik.

¹⁵Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

¹⁵Zdróbi roko brezbožniku in hudobneža krivico kaznuj, dokler je ne najdeš več.

¹⁶The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

¹⁶GOSPOD je Kralj vedno in vekomaj, poginili so pogani z zemlje njegove.

¹⁷LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

¹⁷Hrepenenje krotkih si uslišal, GOSPOD: potolažiš jim srce, nagneš k njim svoje uho,da maščuje siroto in stiskanega, da ju ne straši več človek, ki je iz zemlje.

¹⁸To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

¹⁸da maščuje siroto in stiskanega, da ju ne straši več človek, ki je iz zemlje.
