¹For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

¹Laulujuhatajale: Taaveti laul.

²Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, And he shall be blessed upon the earth; And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.

²Õnnis on see, kes hoolitseb kehva eest, Issand päästab ta õnnetusepäeval.

³Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing: Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.

³Issand hoiab teda ja peab teda elus; teda kiidetakse õndsaks maa peal. Sa ei anna teda ta vaenlaste meelevalda.

⁴I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

⁴Issand toetab teda haigevoodis; sina pöörad kogu tema maasolemise, kui ta haigeks jääb.

⁵Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When will he die, and his name perish?

⁵Ma ütlesin: 'Issand, ole mulle armuline, tee terveks mu hing, sest ma olen pattu teinud sinu vastu!'

⁶And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

⁶Minu vaenlased räägivad minust kurja: 'Millal ta sureb ja millal hävib ta nimi?'

⁷All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

⁷Ja kui keegi tuleb mind vaatama, siis ta räägib valet; tema süda kogub enesesse nurjatust; ta läheb välja ja räägib seda edasi.

⁸An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

⁸Kõik mu vihamehed sosistavad isekeskis minust, nad mõtlevad kurja minu vastu, öeldes:

⁹Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.

⁹'Hukatuse märk on tema küljes, ja see, kes kord on maas, ei tõuse enam!'

¹⁰But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, That I may requite them.

¹⁰Ka see mees, kellega ma rahus elasin, keda ma usaldasin, kes mu leiba sõi, on tõstnud kanna mu vastu.

¹¹By this I know that thou delightest in me, Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

¹¹Aga sina, Issand, ole mulle armuline ja aita mind üles, siis ma tasun neile kätte!

¹²And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, And settest me before thy face for ever.

¹²Sellest ma tunnen, et olen sulle meeltmööda, kui mu vaenlane ei saa hõisata minu pärast.

¹³Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. I

¹³Minu laitmatuse pärast sa pead mind ülal ja lased mind jäädavalt seista sinu ees.

¹⁴Tänu olgu Issandale, Iisraeli Jumalale, igavesest ajast igavesti! Aamen ja aamen.
