¹Taaveti laul, kui ta oma poja Absalomi eest põgenes:

¹Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

²Issand, kui palju on mul vaenlasi, palju on neid, kes tõusevad mu vastu.

²Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .” Selah.

³Paljud ütlevad mu hingele: 'Ei ole temal päästet Jumalas!' Sela.

³But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

⁴Aga sina, Issand, oled kilbiks mu ees, minu au, sa tõstad mu pea üles.

⁴I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

⁵Oma häälega ma hüüan Issanda poole ja ta vastab minule oma pühalt mäelt. Sela.

⁵I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

⁶Ma heitsin maha ja uinusin; ma ärkasin unest, sest Issand toetab mind.

⁶I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

⁷Ei ma karda rahva musttuhandeid, kes igalt poolt on endid seadnud minu vastu.

⁷Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

⁸Tõuse, Issand, päästa mind, mu Jumal! Sest kõiki mu vaenlasi oled sa löönud vastu lõugu, sa oled murdnud õelate hambad.

⁸Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.

⁹Issanda käes on pääste. Su rahvale tulgu sinu õnnistus! Sela.
