¹{Pesem in psalm Asafov.} O Bog, ne molči, ne delaj se gluhega in ne miruj, o Bog mogočni!

¹God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

²Zakaj, glej, neprijatelji tvoji ropočejo in sovražilci tvoji dvigajo glave.

²For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

³Zoper ljudstvo tvoje kujejo prekanjene naklepe in posvetujejo se zoper varovance tvoje.

³They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

⁴Govoré: Pridite, in potrebimo jih, da ne bodo narod, da se nihče ne spominja več imena Izraelovega.

⁴“Come,” they say, “and let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

⁵Kajti naklep so storili v srcu enih misli; zoper tebe so sklenili zavezo:

⁵For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

⁶šatori Edomovi in Izmaelci, Moab in Hagarenci,

⁶The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

⁷Gebal in Amon in Amalek, Filisteja s Tira prebivalci;

⁷Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸tudi Asirec se jim je pridružil v pomoč so bili sinovom Lotovim. (Sela.)

⁸Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Stóri jim kakor Madiancem, kakor Siseru, kakor Jabinu ob potoku Kisonu,

⁹Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

¹⁰ki so bili pokončani pri Endoru, postali so zemlje gnoj!

¹⁰who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

¹¹Naredi njih plemenitnike kakor Oreba in kakor Zeba, kakor Zebaha in Zalmuna vse njih poglavarje.

¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

¹²Ker so rekli: Vzemimo si v last prebivališča Božja!

¹³Bog moj, naredi jih kakor prah v vrtincu, kakor pleve pred vetrom!

¹³My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.

¹⁴Kakor ogenj požiga gozd in kakor plamen, ki popali gore,

¹⁴As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

¹⁵tako jih podi z viharjem svojim in z vrtincem svojim jih preplaši!

¹⁵so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

¹⁶S sramoto napolni njih obličje, da bodo iskali ime tvoje, o GOSPOD!

¹⁶Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.

¹⁷Rdečica naj jih oblije in izbegajo naj se za ves čas, sramujejo se naj in poginejo,da spoznajo, da si ti, ki ti je ime Jehova, sam Najvišji nad vesoljno zemljo.

¹⁷Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

¹⁸da spoznajo, da si ti, ki ti je ime Jehova, sam Najvišji nad vesoljno zemljo.

¹⁸that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
