¹Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

¹LAMED Zašto, Jahve, stojiš daleko, zašto se skrivaš u dane tjeskobe?

²In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

²Obijesni bezbožnik jadnika goni, u zamke ga hvata koje mu postavi.

³For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.

³Bezbožnik se pohlepom hvali, NUN lakomac psuje i Jahvu prezire.

⁴The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

⁴Bezbožnik zbori u obijesti svojoj: "Ne, istrage nema! TÓa ni Boga nema!" I u tome sva mu je misao.

⁵His ways are prosperous at all times. He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

⁵Puti su mu svagda uspješni, na sudove tvoje on i ne misli, sve protivnike svoje prezire.

⁶He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”

⁶U srcu veli: "Neću posrnuti! Ni u kojem koljenu neću biti nesretan."

⁷His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

⁷PE Usta mu puna kletve, lukavstva i prijevare, pod jezikom njegovim muka i nesreća.

⁸He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

⁸U zasjedi čuči pokraj ograda, potajno ubija nevina, AJIN očima siromaha vreba.

⁹He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

⁹U zaklonu sjedi k'o lav u pećini, vreba da opljačka jadnika i da ga povuče u mrežu.

¹⁰The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.

¹⁰Pritajen čuči na zemlji, od nasilja mu siromasi padaju.

¹¹He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”

¹¹U srcu svome veli: "ZÓaboravi Gospod, odvrati lice i nikoga ne vidi!"

¹²Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

¹²KOF Ustani, Gospode Bože, podigni ruku, ne zaboravi siromaha.

¹³Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account?”

¹³Zašto da bezbožnik prezire Boga, zašto da kaže u srcu: "Neće kazniti!"

¹⁴But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

¹⁴REŠ Jer ti vidiš, gledaš jad i nevolju, u ruci je mjeriš. Siromah se tebi predaje, ubogu ti si pomoć!

¹⁵Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

¹⁵ŠIN Pakosnu grešniku satri mišicu, kazni mu pakost da je više ne bude!

¹⁶Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

¹⁶Jahve je kralj u vijeke vjekova, iz zemlje njegove nestat će pogana.

¹⁷Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

¹⁷TAU Počuj, o Jahve, čežnju siromašnih, okrijepi im srce, uho prikloni:

¹⁸to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

¹⁸da zaštitiš pravo ubogih i tlačenih, da straha više ne zadaje čovjek zemljanÄi.
