¹Davidov. Psalam. Da zapjevam o dobroti i pravdi, tebi, Jahve, da zasviram!

¹{A Psalm of David.} I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.

²Razmatrat ću put savršenstva: kad li ćeš k meni doći? Hodit ću u nedužnosti srca u domu svojemu.

²I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

³Neću stavljati pred oči svoje ništa opako. Mrzim čovjeka koji čini zlo: on neće biti uza me.

³I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

⁴Opako će srce biti daleko od mene; o zlu neću da znadem.

⁴A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

⁵Tko kleveće bližnjeg u potaji, toga ću pogubiti. Čovjeka oholih očiju i srca naduta ja ne podnosim.

⁵Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

⁶Pogled upravljam k vjernima na zemlji da sa mnom stanuju. Tko hodi putem nedužnim taj će mi služiti.

⁶Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

⁷Neće prebivati u kući mojoj tko spletke snuje. Tko govori laži, neće opstati pred mojim očima.

⁷He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.

⁸Svaki ću dan istrebljivati sve zlikovce u zemlji; iskorijenit ću iz grada Jahvina sve koji čine bezakonje.

⁸Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
