¹{Psalm Davidov, ko je bežal pred Absalomom, sinom svojim.} GOSPOD, koliko je nasprotnikov mojih! Mnogo jih je, ki vstajajo proti meni.

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

²Mnogo jih je, ki govore o duši moji: Ni zanj rešitve v Bogu nobene. (Sela.) [Sela pomeni (domnevno) ojačenje godbe ali pomolk.]

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

³Ti pa, o GOSPOD, ščit si meni, slava moja, in ti povzdiguješ glavo mojo.

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

⁴Z glasom svojim vpijem h GOSPODU, in mi odgovarja z gore svetosti svoje. (Sela.)

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

⁵Legel sem in spal, in zbudil sem se, ker GOSPOD me podpira.

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

⁶Ne bom se bal ljudstva miriad, ki so se okrog razpostavile proti meni.

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

⁷Vstani, o GOSPOD, reši me, moj Bog! ker ti si udaril vse sovražnike moje po čeljustih, brezbožnikom si zdrobil zobe ti.GOSPODOVA je rešitev. Na ljudstvo tvoje pridi blagoslov tvoj! (Sela.)

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.

⁸GOSPODOVA je rešitev. Na ljudstvo tvoje pridi blagoslov tvoj! (Sela.)

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