¹O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

¹{Psalm Davidov, ko je bil v puščavi Judovi.} O Bog, Bog mogočni moj si ti, zgodaj te iščem; po tebi žeja dušo mojo, po tebi hrepeni meso moje v deželi suhi in pusti, kjer ni vodá.

²To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

²Tako sem te gledal v svetem kraju, da bi videl tvojo moč in slavo tvojo.

³Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

³Kajti boljša je milost tvoja od življenja; hvalijo naj te ustne moje!

⁴Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁴Tako te bom slavil, dokler bodem živ, v imenu tvojem bom povzdigaval roke svoje.

⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

⁵Kakor mozga in tolšče se nasiti duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami te bodo hvalila usta moja;

⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

⁶ko se spominjam tebe na ležišču svojem, vse nočne straže so misli moje pri tebi.

⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁷Kajti bil si mi velika pomoč, zato bom radostno prepeval v senci peruti tvojih.

⁸My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

⁸Duša moja se tebe drži in gre za teboj, ko me podpira desnica tvoja.

⁹But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

⁹Ali oni, ki preže na pogubo duše moje, pojdejo v najspodnje kraje zemlje.

¹⁰They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

¹⁰Izročeni bodo oblasti meča, lisicam bodo v delež.Toda kralj se bo radoval v Bogu, ponašal se bo, kdorkoli priseza pri njem; kajti zamašila se bodo usta laž govorečim.

¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

¹¹Toda kralj se bo radoval v Bogu, ponašal se bo, kdorkoli priseza pri njem; kajti zamašila se bodo usta laž govorečim.
