1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
1Hodočasnička pjesma. "Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili" - neka rekne sad Izrael!
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
2"Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili, ali me ne svladaše.
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
3Po leđima su mojim orači orali, duge brazde povlačili.
4Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
4Al' Jahve pravedni isiječe užeta zlikovcima!"
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
5Nek' se postide i uzmaknu svi koji mrze Sion!
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;
6Nek' budu k'o trava na krovu što povene prije nego je počupaju.
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
7Žetelac njome ne napuni ruku ni naručje onaj koji veže snopove.
8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
8A prolaznici nek' ne reknu: "Blagoslov Jahvin nad vama! Blagoslivljamo vas imenom Jahvinim!"
