¹Laulujuhatajale: keelpillil mängida; Taaveti õpetuslaul.

¹Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

²Jumal, pane tähele mu palvet ja ära peida ennast mu anumise eest!

²Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

³Pane tähele mind ja vasta mulle! Ma ekslen ümber ägades ja jooksen uisapäisa

³Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

⁴vaenlase hääle tõttu, õela rõhumise pärast, sest nad veeretavad mu peale nurjatust ja vihas kiusavad nad mind taga.

⁴My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.

⁵Mu süda vabiseb mu sees ja surma koledused on langenud mu peale.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.

⁶Kartus ja värin tulid mu peale ja õudus kattis mind.

⁶I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

⁷Siis ma ütlesin: Oh oleksid mul tuvi tiivad, ma lendaksin minema ja asuksin kuhugi elama.

⁷Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.

⁸Vaata, ma põgeneksin kaugele ja viibiksin kõrbes. Sela.

⁹Ma tõttaksin pääsema pakku tuulepöörise, maru eest.

⁹Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰Hävita nad, Issand, sega nende keeled, sest ma näen linnas vägivalda ja riidu!

¹⁰Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.

¹¹Ööd ja päevad nad käivad piki tema müüre, nurjatus ja vaev on ta keskel.

¹¹Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

¹²Kadu on ta keskel ja ta turult ei tagane rõhumine ja pettus.

¹²For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

¹³Sest mitte vaenlane ei laima mind, seda ma taluksin; mitte mu vihamees ei suurusta mu vastu, tema eest ma peidaksin ennast,

¹³But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

¹⁴vaid sina, inimene nagu mina, mu sõber ja tuttav,

¹⁴We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

¹⁵kellega meil oli armas osadus, Jumala kotta läksime koos rahvahulgaga.

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁶Karaku surm nende kallale, mingu nad elusalt alla surmavalda, sest selge kurjus on nende elamuis, nende põues!

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.

¹⁷Aga mina hüüan Jumala poole ja Issand aitab mind.

¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

¹⁸Õhtul ja hommikul ja lõunaajal ma kurdan ja ägan, ja ta kuuleb mu häält.

¹⁸He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

¹⁹Ta lunastab mu hinge rahusse kallalekippujaist, sest need on hulgani mu ümber.

¹⁹God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God.

²⁰Jumal kuuleb ja vastab neile, tema, kes istub aujärjel iidsest ajast. Sela. Sest nad ei muuda meelt ega hakka kartma Jumalat.

²⁰He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.

²¹See mees oli pistnud oma käed nende külge, kes pidasid temaga rahu, ta rikkus oma lepingut.

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

²²Pehmem kui või on tema suu, aga südames ta tuleb kallale; libedamad kui õli on tema sõnad, kuid need on siiski nagu paljastatud mõõgad.

²²Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

²³Heida Issanda peale oma koorem, ja tema hoolitseb sinu eest; ta ei lase iialgi kõikuda õiget!

²³But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

²⁴Jah, sina, Jumal, tõukad nad hukatuse auku; mõrtsukad ja petised ei saa oma elupäevi poolegi peale. Aga mina loodan sinu peale!
