¹Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

¹{Načelniku godbe. Psalm Davidov.} Reši me, GOSPOD, hudobnih ljudi, moža silovitega me brani,

²Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

²kateri mislijo hudo v srcu, vsak dan se shajajo, da snujejo vojsko.

³They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

³Brusijo jezik svoj, da je podoben kačjemu, strup gadji je pod njih ustnami. (Sela.)

⁴Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁴Obvaruj me, GOSPOD, rok krivičnika, moža silovitega me brani, ki mi mislijo izpodbiti noge.

⁵The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

⁵Skrivaj so mi nastavili prevzetniki zanko in vrvi, razgrnili so mi mrežo poleg pota, zadrge mi napravili. (Sela.)

⁶I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

⁶Rekel sem GOSPODU: Bog mogočni moj si ti; čuj, GOSPOD, prošenj mojih glas!

⁷O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

⁷Jehova, Gospod, je moč zveličanja mojega; glavo mojo si pokril ob dnevi boja.

⁸Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

⁸Ne dopusti, GOSPOD, da se brezbožniku izpolnijo želje, hude naklepe njegove ne pospešuj, povzdigovali bi se! (Sela.)

⁹As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

⁹Glave njih, ki me obdajajo – ustnic njih nadloga naj jih pokrije!

¹⁰Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

¹⁰Žerjavica pridi nadnje, v ogenj naj jih vržejo, v jame, odkoder več ne vstanejo.

¹¹Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹¹Mož zbadljivega jezika se ne utrdi na zemlji; mož silovitosti – hudo ga bo gonilo do pogube.

¹²I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

¹²Vem, da se bo GOSPOD potegnil za pravdo siromaku, za pravico potrebnim.Res, pravični bodo hvalili ime tvoje, pošteni bivali pred tvojim obličjem.

¹³Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

¹³Res, pravični bodo hvalili ime tvoje, pošteni bivali pred tvojim obličjem.
