¹Hodočasnička pjesma.

¹{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

²Spomeni se, o Jahve, Davida i sve revnosti njegove: kako se Jahvi zakleo, zavjetovao Snazi Jakovljevoj:

²How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

³"Neću ući u šator doma svog nit' uzaći na ležaj svoje postelje,

³I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

⁴neću pustit' snu na oči nit' počinka dati vjeđama,

⁴I will not give sleep to mine eyes, slumber to mine eyelids,

⁵dok Jahvi mjesto ne nađem, boravište Snazi Jakovljevoj."

⁵Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

⁶Eto, čusmo za nj u Efrati, nađosmo ga u Poljima jaarskim.

⁶Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

⁷Uđimo u stan njegov, pred noge mu padnimo!

⁷Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

⁸"Ustani, o Jahve, pođi k svom počivalištu, ti i Kovčeg sile tvoje!

⁸Arise, Jehovah, into thy rest, thou and the ark of thy strength.

⁹Svećenici tvoji nek' se obuku u pravednost, pobožnici tvoji nek' radosno kliču!

⁹Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

¹⁰Poradi Davida, sluge svojega, ne odvrati lica od svog pomazanika!"

¹⁰For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

¹¹Jahve se zakle Davidu zakletvom tvrdom od koje neće odustati: "Potomka tvoje utrobe posadit ću na prijestolje tvoje.

¹¹Jehovah hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

¹²Budu li ti sinovi Savez moj čuvali i naredbe kojima ih učim, i sinovi će njini dovijeka sjedit' na tvom prijestolju."

¹²If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

¹³Jer Jahve odabra Sion, njega zaželje sebi za sjedište.

¹³For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

¹⁴"Ovo mi je počivalište vječno, boravit ću ovdje jer tako poželjeh.

¹⁴This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

¹⁵Žitak ću njegov blagosloviti, siromahe nahraniti kruhom.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy ones with bread;

¹⁶Svećenike njegove u spas ću odjenuti, sveti će njegovi kliktati radosno.

¹⁶And I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

¹⁷Učinit ću da ondje za Davida rog izraste, pripravit ću svjetiljku za svog pomazanika.

¹⁷There will I cause the horn of David to bud forth; I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

¹⁸U sram ću mu obući dušmane, a na njemu će blistat' vijenac moj."

¹⁸His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
