¹{Načelniku godbe; s piščalmi. Psalm Davidov.} Besede moje čuj, GOSPOD, ozri se na premišljevanje moje.

¹Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.

²Poslušaj vpitja mojega glas, Kralj moj in Bog moj, kajti k tebi molim.

²Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

³GOSPOD, zgodaj boš slišal glas moj, zgodaj položim prošnjo pred teboj in bom čakal.

³Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

⁴Ker ti nisi Bog mogočni, ki bi mu bila všeč brezbožnost, hudobnež ne sme bivati pred teboj.

⁴For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

⁵Samohvalniki ne zdrže pred očmi tvojimi, sovražiš vse, ki delajo krivico.

⁵The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

⁶Pogubiš nje, ki govore laž; moža krvoželjnega in zvijačnega mrzi GOSPOD.

⁶You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

⁷Jaz pa vnidem, obdan z obilostjo milosti tvoje, v hišo tvojo, priklonim se proti hramu svetosti tvoje v svetem strahu tvojem.

⁷But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

⁸GOSPOD, vodi me v pravičnosti svoji zavoljo zalezovalcev mojih, ravno stóri pot svojo pred menoj.

⁸Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

⁹Zakaj v njih ustih ni nič resničnega, njih notranjost je poguba, grob odprt njih grlo, z jezikom svojim se dobrikajo zvijačno.

⁹For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰Pokori jih, o Bog, padejo naj po naklepih svojih; pahni jih doli v obilosti njih pregreh, ker se upirajo zoper tebe.

¹⁰Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

¹¹In veselili se bodo vsi, ki pribegajo k tebi, in na veke bodo prepevali, ker si jim bramba, in radovali se bodo v tebi ljubitelji tvojega imena.Zakaj ti blagoslavljaš pravičnega, ti, GOSPOD, delaš, da ga milost krije kakor ščit.

¹¹But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

¹²Zakaj ti blagoslavljaš pravičnega, ti, GOSPOD, delaš, da ga milost krije kakor ščit.

¹²For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
