1Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
1{Načelniku godbe; kakor ‚Ne pogubi!‘ Davidova zlata pesem, ko je bežal pred Savlom v votlino.} Milosten mi bodi, Bog, milosten mi bodi, ker k tebi je pribežala duša moja, in v senci peruti tvojih iščem zavetja, dokler ne minejo težave.
2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
2Klical bom k Bogu Najvišjemu, k Bogu mogočnemu, ki vse izvršuje zame.
3He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
3Pošlje iz nebes in mi da rešenje, osramoti njega, ki me rohneč preganja. (Sela.) Pošlje Bog milost svojo in resnico svojo.
4My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
4Duša moja je sredi levov, ležati mi je med razkačenimi, med ljudmi, katerih zobje so sulice in pšice, in jezik njih je oster meč.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
5Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
6Mrežo so nastavili stopinjam mojim, sovražnik je potlačil dušo mojo, jamo so izkopali pred menoj, a sami so popadali vanjo. (Sela.)
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
7Utrjeno je srce moje, o Bog, utrjeno je srce moje, pel bom in na strune brenkal.
8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
8Prebudi se slava moja, prebudite se, brenklje in strune, zbudim naj jutranjo zarjo!
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
9Slavil te bom med ljudstvi, Gospod, psalme ti prepeval med narodi.
10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
10Zakaj velika je do nebes milost tvoja, do nebeških višav resnica tvoja.Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
11Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
