¹A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

¹Palveteekonna laul. Palju on mind rõhutud mu noorpõlvest peale - nõnda ütelgu Iisrael -,

²Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

²palju on mind rõhutud mu noorpõlvest peale: ometi ei ole minust jagu saadud.

³The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.

³Mu selja peal on kündjad kündnud, nad on ajanud pikki vagusid.

⁴Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

⁴Issand on õiglane, ta on õelate köied katki lõiganud.

⁵Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.

⁵Jäägu häbisse ja taganegu kõik, kes vihkavad Siionit!

⁶Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

⁶Nad olgu nagu rohi katustel, mis kuivab, enne kui see kitkutakse,

⁷Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁷millest lõikaja ei saa endale peotäit ega siduja sületäit

⁸Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.

⁸ja möödaminejad ei ütle: 'Issanda õnnistus olgu teiega! Me õnnistame teid Issanda nimega!'
