¹Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Bože, diko moja, nemoj šutjeti!

²for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

²Usta bezbožna i prijevarna na me se otvaraju, govore mi jezikom lažljivim,

³They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

³riječima me mržnje okružuju, bezrazložno me napadaju.

⁴In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

⁴Za moju me ljubav oni optužuju, a ja se samo molim.

⁵They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁵Uzvraćaju mi zlo za dobro, mržnju za ljubav moju.

⁶Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

⁶"Digni protiv njega bezbožnika i tužitelj nek' mu stane zdesna!

⁷When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

⁷Kad mu se bude sudilo, nek' bude osuđen, i molitva mu se za grijeh uzela!

⁸Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

⁸Dani njegovi nek' budu malobrojni, njegovu službu nek' dobije drugi!

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

⁹Djeca njegova nek' postanu siročad, a njegova žena udovica!

¹⁰Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

¹⁰Nek' mu djeca budu skitnice, prosjaci, nek' budu bačena iz opustjelih domova!

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

¹¹Nek' mu lihvar prigrabi sav posjed, tuđinci nek' razgrabe plod muke njegove!

¹²Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.

¹²Nitko ne imao prema njemu samilosti, nitko se ne smilovao siročadi njegovoj!

¹³Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹³Neka mu se zatre potomstvo, u drugome koljenu neka se utrne ime njegovo!

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁴Spominjao se Jahve grijeha njegovih, i grijeh njegove majke nek' se ne izbriše:

¹⁵Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁵nek budu svagda Jahvi pred očima! Neka se sa zemlje izbriše spomen njihov!"

¹⁶because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

¹⁶Jer se ne spomenu da čini milosrđe, već proganjaše bijedna i uboga i u smrt gonjaše čovjeka srca shrvana.

¹⁷Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

¹⁷Prokletstvo je ljubio, pa neka ga stigne; blagoslova ne htjede, daleko nek' je od njega!

¹⁸He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

¹⁸Prokletstvom nek' se odjene kao haljinom, neka kao voda uđe u njega i kao ulje u kosti njegove.

¹⁹Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

¹⁹Bilo mu haljinom kojom se pokriva, pojas kojim se svagda paše!

²⁰This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.

²⁰Tako nek' plati Jahve tužiteljima mojim koji zlo govore protiv duše moje!

²¹But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

²¹A ti, Jahve, Gospode, rad imena svog zauzmi se za me, spasi me jer je dobrostiva ljubav tvoja!

²²for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

²²Jer bijedan sam i ubog, i srce je moje ranjeno u meni.

²³I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

²³K'o sjena što se naginje ja nestajem, progone me kao skakavca.

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

²⁴Od posta mi koljena klecaju i tijelo moje omrša.

²⁵I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

²⁵Ruglom sam njima postao, kimaju glavom kad me vide.

²⁶Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

²⁶Pomozi mi, Jahve, Bože moj, po doborti me svojoj spasi!

²⁷that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.

²⁷Nek' upoznaju da je ovo ruka tvoja i da si ti ovo učinio, Jahve!

²⁸They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

²⁸Oni nek' proklinju, ti blagoslivljaj; nek' se postide koji se na me podižu, a sluga tvoj nek' se raduje!

²⁹Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

²⁹Stidom nek' se odjenu tužitelji moji i sramotom svojom nek' se k'o plaštem pokriju!

³⁰I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

³⁰Slavit ću Jahvu iz svega grla i hvalit' ga u veliku mnoštvu

³¹For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

³¹jer stoji s desne siromahu da mu dušu spasi od sudaca.
