¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

¹Laulujuhatajale: Taaveti laul.

²Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

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

³Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest 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.

⁴As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto 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 wish me evil: 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 one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: 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.

⁸A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

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

⁹Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, 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, Jehovah, be gracious unto 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!

¹²But 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 eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.

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.
