¹Miktam. Davidov. Čuvaj me, Bože, jer se tebi utječem.

²My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”

²Jahvi rekoh: "Ti si moj gospodar, nema mi blaženstva bez tebe!"

³As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

³Za svetima što su u zemlji sav plamtim od čežnje!

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.

⁴Gomilaju patnje moje koji slijede bogove tuđe. Ja im ljevanica nalijevat' neću, ime im spominjat' neću usnama.

⁵Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

⁵Jahve mi je baština i kalež: Ti u ruci držiš moju sudbinu.

⁶The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

⁶Na divnu zemlju padoše mi konopi, vrlo mi je mila moja baština.

⁷I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

⁷Blagoslivljam Jahvu koji me svjetuje te me i noću srce opominje.

⁸I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁸Jahve mi je svagda pred očima; jer mi je zdesna, neću posrnuti.

⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

⁹Stog' mi se raduje srce i kliče duša, i tijelo mi spokojno počiva.

¹⁰For you will not leave my soul in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

¹⁰Jer mi nećeš ostavit' dušu u Podzemlju ni dati da pravednik tvoj truleži ugleda.

¹¹You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

¹¹Pokazat ćeš mi stazu u život, puninu radosti pred licem svojim, sebi zdesna blaženstvo vječno.
