¹{Psalm Davidov, ko je bil v puščavi Judovi.} O Bog, Bog mogočni moj si ti, zgodaj te iščem; po tebi žeja dušo mojo, po tebi hrepeni meso moje v deželi suhi in pusti, kjer ni vodá.

¹God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

²Tako sem te gledal v svetem kraju, da bi videl tvojo moč in slavo tvojo.

²So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

³Kajti boljša je milost tvoja od življenja; hvalijo naj te ustne moje!

³Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

⁴Tako te bom slavil, dokler bodem živ, v imenu tvojem bom povzdigaval roke svoje.

⁴So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

⁵Kakor mozga in tolšče se nasiti duša moja, in z blagoglasnimi ustnami te bodo hvalila usta moja;

⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

⁶ko se spominjam tebe na ležišču svojem, vse nočne straže so misli moje pri tebi.

⁶when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

⁷Kajti bil si mi velika pomoč, zato bom radostno prepeval v senci peruti tvojih.

⁷For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

⁸Duša moja se tebe drži in gre za teboj, ko me podpira desnica tvoja.

⁸My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

⁹Ali oni, ki preže na pogubo duše moje, pojdejo v najspodnje kraje zemlje.

⁹But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰Izročeni bodo oblasti meča, lisicam bodo v delež.Toda kralj se bo radoval v Bogu, ponašal se bo, kdorkoli priseza pri njem; kajti zamašila se bodo usta laž govorečim.

¹⁰They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

¹¹Toda kralj se bo radoval v Bogu, ponašal se bo, kdorkoli priseza pri njem; kajti zamašila se bodo usta laž govorečim.

¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
