1{Načelniku godbe. Psalm Davidov.} GOSPOD mi je zavetje – kako da govorite duši moji: Léti na vašo goro, ptica!
1In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain!”
2Kajti glej, krivičniki natezajo lok, pšico svojo pokladajo na tetivo, da streljajo v temi na njé, ki so pravega srca.
2For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3Ko se celo stebri podirajo, kaj naj počne pravični?
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4GOSPOD je v templju svetosti svoje, GOSPOD, čigar prestol je v nebesih; njegove oči vidijo, njegove trepalnice preiskujejo sinove človeške.
4Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5GOSPOD preiskuje pravičnika, brezbožnika pa in siloljubnega sovraži duša njegova.
5Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
6Dežil bo na brezbožne zanke, ogenj in žveplo in pekoč veter bode njih čaše delež.Kajti pravičen je GOSPOD in ljubi pravičnost; kdor je pošten, bo gledal obličje njegovo.
6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7Kajti pravičen je GOSPOD in ljubi pravičnost; kdor je pošten, bo gledal obličje njegovo.
7For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
