1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
1{Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim.} GOSPOD, koliko je nasprotnikov mojih! Mnogo jih je, ki vstajajo proti meni.
2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
2Mnogo jih je, ki govore o duši moji: Ni zanj rešitve v Bogu nobene. (Sela.) [Sela pomeni (domnevno) ojačenje godbe ali pomolk.]
3But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
3Ti pa, o GOSPOD, ščit si meni, slava moja, in ti povzdiguješ glavo mojo.
4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
4Z glasom svojim vpijem h GOSPODU, in mi odgovarja z gore svetosti svoje. (Sela.)
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
5Legel sem in spal, in zbudil sem se, ker GOSPOD me podpira.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
6Ne bom se bal ljudstva miriad, ki so se okrog razpostavile proti meni.
7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
7Vstani, o GOSPOD, reši me, moj Bog! ker ti si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljustih, brezbožnikom si zdrobil zobe ti.GOSPODOVA je rešitev. Na ljudstvo tvoje pridi blagoslov tvoj! (Sela.)
8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
8GOSPODOVA je rešitev. Na ljudstvo tvoje pridi blagoslov tvoj! (Sela.)
