¹Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Zborovođi. Po napjevu "Bolest". Za pjevanje. Poučna pjesma. Ezrahijca Hemana.

¹{A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite.} Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day [and] in the night before thee.

²Jahve, Bože moj, vapijem danju, a noću naričem pred tobom.

²Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry.

³Neka dopre do tebe molitva moja, prigni uho k vapaju mome.

³For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol.

⁴Jer mi je duša zasićena patnjama, moj se život bliži Podzemlju.

⁴I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength:

⁵Broje me k onima što u grob silaze, postadoh sličan nemoćniku.

⁵Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand.

⁶Među mrtvima moj je ležaj, poput ubijenih što leže u grobu kojih se više ne spominješ, od kojih si ustegao ruku.

⁶Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.

⁷Smjestio si me u jamu duboku, u tmine, u bezdan.

⁷Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. Selah.

⁸Teško me pritišće ljutnja tvoja i svim me valima svojim prekrivaš.

⁸Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁹Udaljio si od mene znance moje, Óučini da im gnusan budem: zatvoren sam, ne mogu izaći.

⁹Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

¹⁰Od nevolje oči mi gasnu: vapijem tebi, Jahve, iz dana u dan, za tobom ruke pružam.

¹⁰Wilt thou do wonders to the dead? shall the shades arise and praise thee? Selah.

¹¹Zar na mrtvima činiš čudesa? Zar će sjene ustati i hvaliti tebe?

¹¹Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction?

¹²Zar se u grobu pripovijeda o tvojoj dobroti? O vjernosti tvojoj u Propasti?

¹²Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³Zar se u tmini objavljuju čudesa tvoja i tvoja pravda u Zaboravu?

¹³But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.

¹⁴Ipak ja vapijem tebi, Jahve, prije jutra molitvom te pretječem.

¹⁴Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?

¹⁵Zašto, Jahve, odbacuješ dušu moju? Zašto sakrivaš lice od mene?

¹⁵I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, [and] I am distracted.

¹⁶Bijedan sam i umirem već od dječaštva, klonuh noseći tvoje strahote.

¹⁶Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:

¹⁷Preko mene prijeđoše vihori tvojega gnjeva, strahote me tvoje shrvaše,

¹⁷They have surrounded me all the day like water; they have compassed me about together.

¹⁸okružuju me kao voda sveudilj, optječu me svi zajedno.

¹⁸Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness.

¹⁹Udaljio si od mene prijatelja i druga: mrak mi je znanac jedini.
