¹Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

¹{Molitev trpina, ko omaguje in pred GOSPODOM izliva žalovanje svoje.} GOSPOD, čuj molitev mojo, in vpitje moje pridi do tebe!

²Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

²Ne skrivaj mi obličja svojega v dan stiske moje, nagni mi uho svoje; ob dnevi, ko kličem, me hitro usliši!

³For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

³Kajti ginejo kakor dim dnevi moji in kosti moje goré.

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

⁴Opaljeno je kakor trava in velo srce moje, kajti pozabil sem jesti kruh svoj.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

⁵Od glasu zdihovanja mojega se držé kosti moje mojega mesa.

⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

⁶Podoben sem pelikanu v puščavi, sem kakor sova v podrtinah.

⁷I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

⁷Bedim in sem kakor samoten vrabec na strehi.

⁸Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

⁸Ves dan me sramoté sovražniki moji; kateri divjajo zoper mene, se rotijo pri meni.

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

⁹Kajti pepel jem kakor kruh in pijačo svojo mešam s solzami,

¹⁰Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

¹⁰zaradi srda tvojega in togote tvoje, ker vzdignil si me in me vrgel na tla.

¹¹My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

¹¹Dnevi moji so kakor senca pred mrakom in sam usiham kakor zél.

¹²But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

¹²Ti pa, GOSPOD, ostajaš vekomaj in spomin tvoj od roda do roda.

¹³Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

¹³Ti boš vstal in se usmilil Siona, ker čas je storiti mu milost, ker čas določen je prišel.

¹⁴For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

¹⁴Kajti hlapcem tvojim je drago njega kamenje in smili se jim njega prah.

¹⁵So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁵In bali se bodo pogani imena GOSPODOVEGA in vsi kralji zemlje slave tvoje.

¹⁶When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

¹⁶Ko sezida GOSPOD Sion in se prikaže v slavi svoji,

¹⁷He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

¹⁷se ozre na molitev zapuščenca, in ne bo zametal njih molitve.

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

¹⁸Zapiše se to naslednjemu rodu, in ljudstvo, ki bode ustvarjeno, bo hvalilo GOSPODA:

¹⁹For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

¹⁹ker je pogledal z višave svetosti svoje, ozrl se GOSPOD iz nebes na zemljo,

²⁰To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

²⁰da usliši jetnikov zdihovanje, da oprosti nje, ki so izročeni smrti,

²¹To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²¹da oznanjajo na Sionu ime GOSPODOVO in hvalo njegovo v Jeruzalemu,

²²When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

²²ko se zbero ljudstva vsa in kraljestva, da služijo GOSPODU.

²³He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

²³Potlačil je na tem potu moč mojo, dni moje skrajšal.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁴Dejal sem: Bog moj mogočni, ne vzemi me sredi mojih dni! Skozi vse rodove so dnevi tvoji.

²⁵Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁵Saj ti si nekdaj ustanovil zemljo in delo tvojih rok so nebesa.

²⁶They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁶Ona preidejo, ti pa ostaneš; da, vse tisto se postara kakor oblačilo, kakor obleko jih izpremeniš, in se izpremené.

²⁷But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

²⁷Ti pa si večno isti in let tvojih ni konca!Sinovi hlapcev tvojih bodo prebivali v deželi in njih seme se utrdi pred teboj.

²⁸The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

²⁸Sinovi hlapcev tvojih bodo prebivali v deželi in njih seme se utrdi pred teboj.
