¹A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,

¹Aasafi laul. Jumal, paganad on tulnud su pärisossa; nad on rüvetanud su püha templi, on teinud Jeruusalemma kivivaremeks.

²They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.

²Nad on su sulaste laibad andnud söögiks taeva lindudele ja su vagade liha metsloomadele.

³They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.

³Nad on valanud nende verd nagu vett Jeruusalemma ümber ja ei ole olnud matjat.

⁴We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.

⁴Me oleme saanud teotuseks oma naabritele, irvituseks ja pilkeks oma ümbruskonnale.

⁵Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.

⁵Kui kaua sa, Issand, oled lõpmata vihane ja su püha viha leegitseb nagu tuli?

⁶Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.

⁶Vala oma vihaleek paganate peale, kes sind ei tunne, ja riikide peale, kes su nime ei kuuluta!

⁷For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.

⁷Sest nad on söönud ära Jaakobi ja on puupaljaks teinud tema eluaseme.

⁸Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.

⁸Ära tuleta meelde meie vastu esivanemate pahategusid; tõtaku meid kohtama sinu halastus, sest me oleme väga kurnatud!

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name`s sake.

⁹Aita meid, meie pääste Jumal, oma nime auhiilguse pärast, ja tõmba meid välja ning tee lepitus meie pattude eest oma nime pärast!

¹⁰Why do the nations say, `Where [is] their God?` Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.

¹⁰Mispärast peavad paganad ütlema: 'Kus on nende Jumal?' Saagu teatavaks paganate seas meie silma all, et kätte makstakse su sulaste veri, mis on valatud!

¹¹Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.

¹¹Lase tulla oma palge ette vangide ägamine; oma käsivarre suurusega jäta ellu surmalapsed

¹²And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.

¹²ja tasu meie naabritele seitsmekordselt sülle nende teotamised, millega nad on teotanud sind, Issand!

¹³And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!

¹³Aga meie, sinu rahvas ja su karjamaa lambad, täname sind igavesti; me jutustame sinu kiitust põlvest põlve.
