¹Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

¹{Načelniku godbe. Pouk Davidov; ko je Doeg Edomec prišel in naznanil Savlu ter mu rekel: David je prišel v hišo Ahimelekovo.} Kaj se hvališ s hudobijo, o mogočni? Milost Boga mogočnega traja vse dni.

²The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

²Nesrečo napravljaš z jezikom svojim, podoben je ostri britvi, ti zvijače snovatelj!

³Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

³Hudo ljubiš bolj ko dobro, laž bolj ko govorico pravice. (Sela.)

⁴Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

⁴Ljubiš zgolj besede pogubne, o jezik zvijačni.

⁵God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

⁵Zatorej te tudi Bog mogočni podere na vekomaj, zgrabi te in prežene iz šatora tvojega, in s korenom te izpuli iz dežele živečih. (Sela.)

⁶The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

⁶To bodo videli pravični v božjem strahu in njemu se smejali:

⁷Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

⁷Glejte onega moža, ki si ni vzel Boga za brambo, marveč se je zanašal na bogastva svojega obilost in utrjeval se v hudobnosti svoji.

⁸But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

⁸Jaz pa sem kakor oljka zeleneča v hiši Božji, upam v milost Božjo vselej in vekomaj.Slavil te bom vekomaj, ker si storil to; in čakal bom imena tvojega, ker je dobro, vpričo svetih tvojih.

⁹I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

⁹Slavil te bom vekomaj, ker si storil to; in čakal bom imena tvojega, ker je dobro, vpričo svetih tvojih.
