¹{Pouk Davidov, ko je bil v votlini. Molitev.} Z glasom svojim kličem h GOSPODU, z glasom svojim milo prosim GOSPODA,

¹I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

²pred njim izlivam skrbi svoje, stisko svojo oznanjam pred njim.

²I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

³Ko je omagoval moj duh v meni, takrat si ti poznal stezo mojo. Na poti, po kateri sem hodil, so mi skrivaj nastavili zanko.

³When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

⁴Ozri se na desno in poglej: ni ga, ki bi me poznal; izginilo mi je vsako zavetje, ni ga, ki bi skrbel za dušo mojo.

⁴Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

⁵K tebi kličem, GOSPOD, govoreč: Ti si zavetje moje, delež moj v deželi živečih.

⁵I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

⁶Poslušaj vpitje moje, ker ponižan sem silno, otmi me preganjalcev mojih, ker močnejši so od mene.Izpelji iz zapora dušo mojo, da hvalim ime tvoje; tedaj me bodo obdali pravični, ko mi izkažeš dobroto.

⁶Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

⁷Izpelji iz zapora dušo mojo, da hvalim ime tvoje; tedaj me bodo obdali pravični, ko mi izkažeš dobroto.

⁷Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
