¹{Zlata pesem Davidova.} Varuj me, Bog mogočni, ker v tebi iščem zavetja.

²GOSPODU govorim: Ti si mi Gospod, ni sreče zame zunaj tebe;

²My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”

³in svetnikom, ki so na zemlji: To so slavni, v katerih je vse veselje moje.

³As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

⁴Mnoge bodo bolečine tistih, ki hité za drugim bogom; daroval ne bom njih krvavih daritev, ne jemal njih imen na ustne svoje.

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.

⁵GOSPOD je delež posesti moje in mojega keliha; ti vzdržuješ odmerjeno mi dediščino.

⁵Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

⁶Merilne vrvi so mi padle v prekrasnih krajih, res, dobil sem prelepo dediščino.

⁶The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

⁷Slavil bom GOSPODA, ki mi je dobro svetoval: tudi po noči me poučujejo obisti moje.

⁷I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

⁸Predočujem si GOSPODA neprestano; ker je na desnici moji, ne omahnem.

⁸I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁹Tega se veseli srce moje in raduje se slava moja, tudi meso moje bo počivalo brez skrbi.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

¹⁰Ker ne zapustiš duše moje v državi smrti [Hebr. šeol.], ne daš, da vidi ljubljenec tvoj trohnobo.Daš mi spoznati življenja stezo: najslajših radosti obilica je pred obličjem tvojim, polno milin v desnici tvoji vekomaj.

¹⁰For you will not leave my soul in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

¹¹Daš mi spoznati življenja stezo: najslajših radosti obilica je pred obličjem tvojim, polno milin v desnici tvoji vekomaj.

¹¹You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
