¹Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

¹Molitva nevoljnika koji je klonuo pa svoju tugu izlijeva

²Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

²Jahve, usliši molitvu moju, i vapaj moj k tebi da dođe!

³For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

³Nemoj sakrivati lice od mene u dan moje nevolje! Prigni k meni uho svoje: kad te prizovem, brzo me usliši!

⁴My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

⁴Jer moji dani nestaju poput dima, a moje kosti gore kao oganj.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

⁵Srce mi se suši kao pokošena trava i kruh svoj zaboravljam jesti.

⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

⁶Od snažnih jecaja mojih kosti mi uz kožu prionuše.

⁷Sličan sam čaplji u pustinji, postah k'o ćuk na pustoj razvalini.

⁸My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

⁸Ne nalazim sna i uzdišem k'o samotan vrabac na krovu.

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

⁹Svagda me grde dušmani moji; mnome se proklinju što bjesne na me.

¹⁰Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.

¹⁰Pepeo jedem poput kruha, a piće svoje miješam sa suzama

¹¹My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.

¹¹zbog tvoje ljutine i gnjeva, jer si me digao i bacio.

¹²But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.

¹²Moji su dani k'o oduljena sjena, a ja se, gle, sušim poput trave.

¹³You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

¹³A ti, o Jahve, ostaješ dovijeka i tvoje ime kroza sva koljena.

¹⁴For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.

¹⁴Ustani, smiluj se Sionu: vrijeme je da mu se smiluješ - sada je čas!

¹⁵So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of the earth your glory.

¹⁵Jer milo je slugama tvojim kamenje njegovo, žale ruševine njegove.

¹⁶For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

¹⁶Tad će se pogani bojati, Jahve, imena tvojega i svi kraljevi zemlje slave tvoje

¹⁷He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

¹⁷kad Jahve opet sazda Sion, kad se pokaže u slavi svojoj,

¹⁸This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

¹⁸kad se osvrne na prošnju ubogih i ne prezre molitve njihove.

¹⁹For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

¹⁹Nek' se zapiše ovo za budući naraštaj, puk što nastane neka hvali Jahvu.

²⁰to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death;

²⁰Jer Jahve gleda sa svog uzvišenog svetišta, s nebesa na zemlju gleda

²¹that men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²¹da čuje jauke sužnjeva, da izbavi smrti predane,

²²when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.

²²da se na Sionu navijesti ime Jahvino i njegova hvala u Jeruzalemu

²³He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.

²³kad se narodi skupe i kraljevstva da služe Jahvi.

²⁴I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

²⁴Putem je istrošio sile moje, skratio mi dane.

²⁵Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

²⁵Rekoh: "Bože moj, nemoj me uzeti u sredini dana mojih! Kroza sva koljena traju godine tvoje.

²⁶They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

²⁶U početku utemelji zemlju, i nebo je djelo ruku tvojih.

²⁷But you are the same. Your years will have no end.

²⁷Propast će, ti ćeš ostati, sve će ostarjeti kao odjeća. Mijenjaš ih poput haljine i nestaju:

²⁸The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will be established before you.”

²⁸ti si uvijek isti - godinama tvojim nema kraja.

²⁹Djeca će tvojih slugu živjeti u miru i potomstvo će njihovo trajati pred tobom.
