¹{Načelniku godbe; na strune. Pouk Davidov.} Sliši, o Bog, molitev mojo in prošnji moji se ne skrivaj!

¹Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

²Ozri se v me in mi odgovori; blodim v žalovanju svojem in ječati mi je

²Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

³zavoljo glasú sovražnikovega, zavoljo stiskanja krivičnika. Ker name zvračajo krivico in v jezi me preganjajo.

³Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

⁴Srce se mi krči v životu, in smrtni strahovi so me obšli.

⁴My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.

⁵Strah in trepet me napadata, in groza me je prevladala.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.

⁶In sem rekel: O, da bi imel peruti kakor golob, zletel bi, kjer bi mogel počivati.

⁶I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

⁷Glej, kar najdalje bi pobegnil, prebival bi v puščavi. (Sela.)

⁷Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.

⁸Hitel bi, da si najdem zavetja pred besnečim vetrom, pred viharjem.

⁹Pogúbi, Gospod, razdeli njih jezik; ker silovitost in prepir vidim v mestu.

⁹Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰Po dnevi in po noči prežeč pohajajo po zidovju njegovem, krivica in hudobnost pa sta sredi njega.

¹⁰Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.

¹¹Škodoželjnost je sredi njega, in z ulic njegovih se ne umakneta zatira in zvijača.

¹¹Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

¹²Kajti ne nasprotnik me sramoti, to bi prenašal; ne sovražilec moj se vzpenja proti meni, njemu bi se skril, –

¹²For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

¹³temuč ti, človek, meni enak, prijatelj moj in zaupnik moj,

¹³But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

¹⁴ki sva skupaj sladko se družila, v hišo Božjo hodila z veselo množico.

¹⁴We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

¹⁵Smrt naj jih preseneti! živi naj se pogreznejo v kraj mrtvih, ker hudobnost je v njih prebivališču, sredi med njimi.

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁶Jaz pa bom klical Boga, in GOSPOD me bo rešil.

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.

¹⁷Zvečer in zjutraj in opoldne bom tožil in stokal, dokler ne usliši mojega glasu.

¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

¹⁸Otel je in v mir postavil dušo mojo iz boja zoper mene; kajti z mnogimi krdeli so se vojskovali proti meni.

¹⁸He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

¹⁹Slišal bo Bog mogočni in jim odgovoril, saj on sedi na prestolu od vekomaj (Sela.), njim, v katerih ni premembe misli in se ne boje Boga.

¹⁹God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God.

²⁰Nezvestnik je iztegnil roko svojo zoper nje, ki so živeli v miru ž njim; zavezo svojo je oskrunil.

²⁰He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.

²¹Gladke so, maslene besede njegove, a vojska tiči v njegovem srcu; mehkejši od olja so govori njegovi, in vendar so goli meči.

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

²²Vrzi na GOSPODA breme svoje, in on te bo podpiral; nikdar ne pripusti, da omahne pravičnik.In ti, o Bog, jih pahneš v jamo pogube; ljudje krvoločni in zvijačni ne dožive dni svojih polovice. Jaz pa bom v tebe upal.

²²Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

²³In ti, o Bog, jih pahneš v jamo pogube; ljudje krvoločni in zvijačni ne dožive dni svojih polovice. Jaz pa bom v tebe upal.

²³But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
