1{Načelniku godbe; kakor ‚Ne pogubi!‘ Davidova zlata pesem, ko je bežal pred Savlom v votlino.} Milosten mi bodi, Bog, milosten mi bodi, ker k tebi je pribežala duša moja, in v senci peruti tvojih iščem zavetja, dokler ne minejo težave.
1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2Klical bom k Bogu Najvišjemu, k Bogu mogočnemu, ki vse izvršuje zame.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3Pošlje iz nebes in mi da rešenje, osramoti njega, ki me rohneč preganja. (Sela.) Pošlje Bog milost svojo in resnico svojo.
3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4Duša moja je sredi levov, ležati mi je med razkačenimi, med ljudmi, katerih zobje so sulice in pšice, in jezik njih je oster meč.
4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
6Mrežo so nastavili stopinjam mojim, sovražnik je potlačil dušo mojo, jamo so izkopali pred menoj, a sami so popadali vanjo. (Sela.)
6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. Selah.
7Utrjeno je srce moje, o Bog, utrjeno je srce moje, pel bom in na strune brenkal.
7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8Prebudi se slava moja, prebudite se, brenklje in strune, zbudim naj jutranjo zarjo!
8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
9Slavil te bom med ljudstvi, Gospod, psalme ti prepeval med narodi.
9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10Zakaj velika je do nebes milost tvoja, do nebeških višav resnica tvoja.Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
