¹Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

¹{Načelniku godbe, kakor ‚Nema golobica v oddaljenih krajih‘. Davidova zlata pesem, ko so ga prijeli Filistejci v Gatu.} Milosten mi bodi, o Bog, ker rohneč me preganja človek, ves dan se z menoj bojuje in me stiska.

²Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

²Rohne zalezovalci moji ves dan, ker mnogo jih je, ki se zoper mene vojskujejo ošabno.

³What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

³Ob dnevu, ko me strah obhaja, stavim svoje upanje vate.

⁴In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

⁴V Bogu bom hvalil besedo njegovo; v Boga upam, ne bom se bal: Kaj mi more storiti meso?

⁵Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁵Ves dan prevračajo moje besede, zoper mene merijo vse njih misli v hudo.

⁶They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

⁶Zbirajo se in skrivajo se v prežo, pazijo mi na stopinje, ker mi strežejo po življenju.

⁷Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

⁷Se li bodo rešili ob taki hudobnosti? V jezi pahni ljudstva, o Bog!

⁸Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

⁸Ti imaš seštete ure tavanja mojega. Deni v lagvico svojo vsako solzo mojo, ali bi jih ne imel v zaznamku svojem?

⁹When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

⁹Potem se umaknejo sovražniki moji v dan, ko bom klical; to vem, da mi je Bog na strani.

¹⁰In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

¹⁰V Bogu bom hvalil besedo, v GOSPODU hvalil besedo.

¹¹In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

¹¹V Boga upam, ne bom se bal: Kaj mi more storiti človek?

¹²Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

¹²Dolžan sem ti, o Bog, obljube; hvalne daritve ti bom opravljal.Ker ti si otel dušo mojo smrti, tudi noge moje padca, da neprestano hodim pred Bogom v življenja luči.

¹³For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

¹³Ker ti si otel dušo mojo smrti, tudi noge moje padca, da neprestano hodim pred Bogom v življenja luči.
