¹Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;

¹Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.

²those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

²Izbavi me, Jahve, od čovjeka zlobna, zaštiti me od čovjeka nasilna:

³They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

³od onih koji pakosti u srcu smišljaju i čitav dan začinju kavge.

⁴Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

⁴Kao zmije bruse jezike svoje, pod usnama im je otrov ljutičin.

⁵The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

⁵Spasi me, Jahve, od ruku zlotvora, čuvaj me od čovjeka nasilna koji hoće da mi noga posrne.

⁶I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

⁶Oholice mi potajno nastavljaju zamku, užetima mrežu pletu, kraj puta klopke mi stavljaju.

⁷Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

⁷Zavapih Jahvi: "Ti si Bog moj! Poslušaj, o Jahve, krik mojih molitava!

⁸Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

⁸Jahve, Gospode moj, spasitelju silni moj, u dan boja zakloni mi glavu!"

⁹As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

⁹Ne daj da se ispune želje zlotvora, ne daj da svoje on izvrši namjere!

¹⁰Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.

¹⁰Nek' glavu ne podignu oni koji me opkoliše, nek' na njih padne zloba njihovih usana!

¹¹An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹¹Nek' daždi po njima ugljevlje ognjeno, nek' se strovale u jamu da više ne ustanu!

¹²I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

¹²Opadač se neće održat' na zemlji, silnika će odjednom zgrabiti nesreća.

¹³Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

¹³Znam da će Jahve dati pravo ubogu i pravicu siromasima.

¹⁴Zaista, pravedni će tvoje ime slaviti, pred tvojim će licem boraviti čestiti.
