¹Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

¹{Zlata pesem Davidova.} Varuj me, Bog mogočni, ker v tebi iščem zavetja.

²O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

²GOSPODU govorim: Ti si mi Gospod, ni sreče zame zunaj tebe;

³But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

³in svetnikom, ki so na zemlji: To so slavni, v katerih je vse veselje moje.

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

⁴Mnoge bodo bolečine tistih, ki hité za drugim bogom; daroval ne bom njih krvavih daritev, ne jemal njih imen na ustne svoje.

⁵The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁵GOSPOD je delež posesti moje in mojega keliha; ti vzdržuješ odmerjeno mi dediščino.

⁶The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

⁶Merilne vrvi so mi padle v prekrasnih krajih, res, dobil sem prelepo dediščino.

⁷I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

⁷Slavil bom GOSPODA, ki mi je dobro svetoval: tudi po noči me poučujejo obisti moje.

⁸I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁸Predočujem si GOSPODA neprestano; ker je na desnici moji, ne omahnem.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

⁹Tega se veseli srce moje in raduje se slava moja, tudi meso moje bo počivalo brez skrbi.

¹⁰For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

¹⁰Ker ne zapustiš duše moje v državi smrti [Hebr. šeol.], ne daš, da vidi ljubljenec tvoj trohnobo.Daš mi spoznati življenja stezo: najslajših radosti obilica je pred obličjem tvojim, polno milin v desnici tvoji vekomaj.

¹¹Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

¹¹Daš mi spoznati življenja stezo: najslajših radosti obilica je pred obličjem tvojim, polno milin v desnici tvoji vekomaj.
