1In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain!”
1Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Jahvi se utječem! Zašto dakle govorite duši mojoj: "Odleti u goru kao ptica!
2For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
2Gle, bezbožnici već luk napeše, za tetivu strijelu zapeše da iz potaje ustrijele pravednika.
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
3Kad su temelji uzljuljani, što da učini pravednik?"
4Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
4Jahve je u svom svetom Hramu, na nebeskom sjedi prijestolju. Oči njegove motre, vjeđama proniče sinove ljudske.
5Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
5Jahve proniče pravedna i nepravedna, iz dna duše mrzi silnika.
6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
6Na grešnike će izlit' žeravu i sumpor, vjetar ognjeni bit će dio njine sudbine.
7For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
7Pravedan je Jahve i pravednost ljubi, čestiti će gledat' lice njegovo.
