¹Učitelju zbora. Od Jahvina sluge Davida koji Jahvi ispjeva ovu pjesmu u onaj dan kad ga Jahve oslobodi iz ruku neprijatelja

²Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

²Ljubim te, Jahve, kreposti moja!

³I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

³Jahve, hridino moja, utvrdo moja spase moj; Bože moj, pećino moja kojoj se utječem, štite moj, snago spasenja moga, tvrđavo moja!

⁴The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁴Zazvat ću Jahvu, hvale predostojna, i od dušmana bit ću izbavljen.

⁵The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death came on me.

⁵Valovi smrti okružiše mene, prestraviše me bujice pogubne.

⁶In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

⁶Užad Podzemlja sputiše me, smrtonosne zamke padoše na me:

⁷Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁷u nevolji zazvah Jahvu i Bogu svome zavapih. Iz svog Hrama zov mi začu, i vapaj moj mu do ušiju doprije.

⁸Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

⁸I zemlja se potrese i uzdrhta, uzdrmaše se temelji gora, pokrenuše se, jer On gnjevom planu.

⁹He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

⁹Iz nosnica mu dim se diže, iz usta mu oganj liznu, ugljevlje živo od njega plamsa.

¹⁰He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

¹⁰On nagnu nebesa i siđe, pod nogama oblaci mu mračni.

¹¹He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹¹Na keruba stade i poletje; na krilima vjetra zaplovi.

¹²At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

¹²Ogrnu se mrakom kao koprenom, prekri se tamnim vodama i oblacima tmastim,

¹³Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³od blijeska pred licem njegovim užga se ugljevlje plameno.

¹⁴He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

¹⁴Jahve s neba zagrmje, Svevišnjega glas se ori.

¹⁵Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁵Odape strijele i dušmane rasu, izbaci munje i na zemlju ih obori.

¹⁶He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁶Morska se dna pokazaše, i temelji svijeta postaše goli od strašne prijetnje Jahvine, od olujna daha gnjeva njegova.

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁷On pruži s neba ruku i mene prihvati, iz silnih voda on me izbavi.

¹⁸They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁸Od protivnika moćnog mene oslobodi, od dušmana mojih jačih od mene.

¹⁹He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

¹⁹Navališe na me u dan zlosretni, ali me Jahve zaštiti,

²⁰Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²⁰na polje prostrano izvede me, spasi me jer sam mu mio.

²¹For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²¹Po pravednosti mojoj Jahve mi uzvrati, po čistoći ruku mojih on me nagradi,

²²For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.

²²jer čuvah putove Jahvine, od Boga se svoga ne udaljih.

²³I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²³Odredbe njegove sve su mi pred očima, zapovijedi njegove nisam odbacio,

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁴do srži odan njemu sam bio, čuvam se grijeha svakoga.

²⁵With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

²⁵Jahve mi po pravdi mojoj vrati, čistoću ruku mojih vidje.

²⁶With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁶S prijateljem ti si prijatelj, poštenu poštenjem uzvraćaš.

²⁷For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

²⁷S čovjekom čistim ti si čist, a lukavca izigravaš,

²⁸For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

²⁸jer narodu poniženu spasenje donosiš, a ponižavaš oči ohole.

²⁹For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

²⁹Jahve, ti moju svjetiljku užižeš, Bože, tminu moju obasjavaš:

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³⁰s tobom udaram na čete dušmanske, s Bogom svojim preskačem zidine.

³¹For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

³¹Savršeni su puti Gospodnji, i riječ je Božja ognjem kušana. On, samo on, štit je svima koji se k njemu utječu.

³²Jer tko je Bog osim Jahve? Tko li je hridina osim Boga našega?

³³He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.

³³Taj Bog me snagom opasuje, stere mi put besprijekoran,

³⁴He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

³⁴noge mi dade brze k'o u košute i postavi me na visine čvrste,

³⁵You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁵ruke mi za borbu uvježba i mišice da luk mjedeni napinju.

³⁶You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

³⁶Daješ mi štit svoj koji spasava, tvoja me desnica drži, tvoja me brižljivost uzvisi.

³⁷I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

³⁷Pouzdanje daješ mom koraku, i noge mi više ne posrću.

³⁸I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

³⁸Pognah svoje dušmane i dostigoh, i ne vratih se dok ih ne uništih.

³⁹For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

³⁹Obaram ih, ne mogu se dići, padaju, pod nogama mi leže.

⁴⁰You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴⁰Ti me opasa snagom za borbu, a protivnike moje meni podloži.

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴¹Ti dušmane moje u bijeg natjera, i rasprših one koji su me mrzili.

⁴²Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴²Vapiju u pomoć - nikog da pomogne; vapiju Jahvi - ne odaziva se.

⁴³You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴³Smrvih ih kao prah na vjetru, zgazih ih k'o blato na putu.

⁴⁴As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

⁴⁴Ti me izbavi od bune u mom narodu, postavi me glavarom pogana, puk koji ne poznavah služi mi.

⁴⁵The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁵Svaki moj šapat pokorno on sluša, sinovi tuđinci meni laskaju;

⁴⁶Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

⁴⁶sinovi tuđinski gube srčanost, izlaze dršćuć' iz svojih utvrda.

⁴⁷even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

⁴⁷Živio Jahve! Blagoslovljena hridina moja! Neka se uzvisi Bog, spasenje moje!

⁴⁸He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁴⁸Bog koji mi daje osvetu i narode meni pokorava.

⁴⁹Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

⁴⁹Od dušmana me mojih izbavljaš i nad protivnike me moje izdižeš, ti mene od čovjeka silnika spasavaš.

⁵⁰He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.

⁵⁰Zato te slavim, Jahve, među pucima i psalam pjevam tvome Imenu:

⁵¹umnožio si pobjede kralju svojemu, pomazaniku svome milost si iskazao, Davidu i potomstvu njegovu navijeke.
