¹Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

¹{Načelniku godbe; na strune. Pouk Davidov.} Sliši, o Bog, molitev mojo in prošnji moji se ne skrivaj!

²Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

²Ozri se v me in mi odgovori; blodim v žalovanju svojem in ječati mi je

³Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

³zavoljo glasú sovražnikovega, zavoljo stiskanja krivičnika. Ker name zvračajo krivico in v jezi me preganjajo.

⁴My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

⁴Srce se mi krči v životu, in smrtni strahovi so me obšli.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

⁵Strah in trepet me napadata, in groza me je prevladala.

⁶And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

⁶In sem rekel: O, da bi imel peruti kakor golob, zletel bi, kjer bi mogel počivati.

⁷Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

⁷Glej, kar najdalje bi pobegnil, prebival bi v puščavi. (Sela.)

⁸I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

⁸Hitel bi, da si najdem zavetja pred besnečim vetrom, pred viharjem.

⁹Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

⁹Pogúbi, Gospod, razdeli njih jezik; ker silovitost in prepir vidim v mestu.

¹⁰Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

¹⁰Po dnevi in po noči prežeč pohajajo po zidovju njegovem, krivica in hudobnost pa sta sredi njega.

¹¹Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

¹¹Škodoželjnost je sredi njega, in z ulic njegovih se ne umakneta zatira in zvijača.

¹²For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

¹²Kajti ne nasprotnik me sramoti, to bi prenašal; ne sovražilec moj se vzpenja proti meni, njemu bi se skril, –

¹³But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

¹³temuč ti, človek, meni enak, prijatelj moj in zaupnik moj,

¹⁴We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

¹⁴ki sva skupaj sladko se družila, v hišo Božjo hodila z veselo množico.

¹⁵Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

¹⁵Smrt naj jih preseneti! živi naj se pogreznejo v kraj mrtvih, ker hudobnost je v njih prebivališču, sredi med njimi.

¹⁶As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

¹⁶Jaz pa bom klical Boga, in GOSPOD me bo rešil.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

¹⁷Zvečer in zjutraj in opoldne bom tožil in stokal, dokler ne usliši mojega glasu.

¹⁸He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

¹⁸Otel je in v mir postavil dušo mojo iz boja zoper mene; kajti z mnogimi krdeli so se vojskovali proti meni.

¹⁹God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

¹⁹Slišal bo Bog mogočni in jim odgovoril, saj on sedi na prestolu od vekomaj (Sela.), njim, v katerih ni premembe misli in se ne boje Boga.

²⁰He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

²⁰Nezvestnik je iztegnil roko svojo zoper nje, ki so živeli v miru ž njim; zavezo svojo je oskrunil.

²¹The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

²¹Gladke so, maslene besede njegove, a vojska tiči v njegovem srcu; mehkejši od olja so govori njegovi, in vendar so goli meči.

²²Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

²²Vrzi na GOSPODA breme svoje, in on te bo podpiral; nikdar ne pripusti, da omahne pravičnik.In ti, o Bog, jih pahneš v jamo pogube; ljudje krvoločni in zvijačni ne dožive dni svojih polovice. Jaz pa bom v tebe upal.

²³But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

²³In ti, o Bog, jih pahneš v jamo pogube; ljudje krvoločni in zvijačni ne dožive dni svojih polovice. Jaz pa bom v tebe upal.
