¹Palveteekonna laul. Palju on mind rõhutud mu noorpõlvest peale - nõnda ütelgu Iisrael -,

¹Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

²palju on mind rõhutud mu noorpõlvest peale: ometi ei ole minust jagu saadud.

²many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

³Mu selja peal on kündjad kündnud, nad on ajanud pikki vagusid.

³The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

⁴Issand on õiglane, ta on õelate köied katki lõiganud.

⁴Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

⁵Jäägu häbisse ja taganegu kõik, kes vihkavad Siionit!

⁵Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

⁶Nad olgu nagu rohi katustel, mis kuivab, enne kui see kitkutakse,

⁶Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

⁷millest lõikaja ei saa endale peotäit ega siduja sületäit

⁷with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

⁸ja möödaminejad ei ütle: 'Issanda õnnistus olgu teiega! Me õnnistame teid Issanda nimega!'

⁸Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
