¹O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

¹{Načelniku godbe. Psalm Davidov.} GOSPOD, preiskal si me in me poznaš!

²Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

²Ti poznaš sedenje moje in vstajanje moje, mišljenje moje umeš oddaleč.

³Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

³Hojo mojo in ležo mojo zasleduješ in znana so ti vsa pota moja.

⁴For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

⁴Ko ni še beseda na jeziku mojem, glej, GOSPOD, jo poznaš docela.

⁵Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

⁵Zadaj in spredaj me obdajaš in name pokladaš roko svojo.

⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁶Taka vednost je prečudovita zame, visoka je, ne morem je doseči.

⁷Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

⁷Kam naj grem pred duhom tvojim, ali kam naj bežim pred tvojim obličjem?

⁸If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

⁸Ko bi stopil na nebesa, tam si ti, ali bi ležišče si izbral v kraju mrtvih, tudi ondi si.

⁹If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

⁹Ko bi si vzel zarje peruti in odletel prebivat ob najzadnjem kraju morja,

¹⁰Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

¹⁰tudi tja bi me spremljala roka tvoja in zgrabila bi me desnica tvoja.

¹¹If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

¹¹Ko bi pa rekel: Teme me bodo vsaj pokrile in svetloba okoli mene postane naj noč –

¹²Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

¹²tudi teme ti ne morejo ničesar omračiti, noč ti je svetla kakor dan, temina ti je kakor noč.

¹³For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

¹³Zakaj ti si imel v lasti ledice moje, stkal si me v telesu matere moje.

¹⁴I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

¹⁴Hvalim te, da sem storjen na strašen, čudovit način; čudovita so dela tvoja, predobro to pozna duša moja.

¹⁵My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

¹⁵Ni ti bilo skrito okostje moje, ko sem bil ustvarjen na skrivnem, umetno narejen, kakor v zemlje globočinah.

¹⁶Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

¹⁶Zarodek moj so videle tvoje oči, in v knjigo tvojo je bilo vpisano vse to; dnevi so mi bili določeni, ko še eden njih ni bil napočil.

¹⁷How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

¹⁷Zatorej kako so mi dražestne misli tvoje, o Bog mogočni, kako ogromna so njih števila!

¹⁸If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

¹⁸Hotel bi jih našteti, a več jih je od peska; kadar se zdramim, sem z mislimi še pri tebi.

¹⁹Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

¹⁹O da bi pokončal, o Bog, brezbožnika! In vi, možje krvoločni: Poberite se izpred mene!

²⁰For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

²⁰Kajti zoper tebe govoré pregrešno, tvoje ime rabijo za laž tvoji sovražniki.

²¹Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

²¹Ali naj bi ne sovražil, o GOSPOD, sovražilcev tvojih, ali naj mi ne mrzé, ki se vzpenjajo zoper tebe?

²²I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

²²S skrajnim sovraštvom jih sovražim, za neprijatelje so meni.

²³Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

²³Preiskuj me, Bog mogočni, in spoznaj srce moje, izkusi me in spoznaj misli moje,in glej, hodim li po potu, ki pelje v trpljenje, in vodi me po večnem potu.

²⁴And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

²⁴in glej, hodim li po potu, ki pelje v trpljenje, in vodi me po večnem potu.
