¹Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

¹Davidov. Jahve mi je svjetlost i spasenje: koga da se bojim? Jahve je štit života moga: pred kime da strepim?

²When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

²Kad navale na me zlotvori da mi tijelo žderu, protivnici moji i dušmani, oni posrću i padaju.

³Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

³Nek' se vojska protiv mene utabori, srce se moje ne boji; nek' i rat plane protiv mene, i tada pun sam pouzdanja.

⁴One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

⁴Za jedno molim Jahvu, samo to ja tražim: da živim u Domu Jahvinu sve dane života svoga, da uživam milinu Jahvinu i Dom njegov gledam.

⁵For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

⁵U sjenici svojoj on me zaklanja u dan kobni; skriva me u skrovištu Šatora svoga, na hridinu on me uzdiže.

⁶Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

⁶I sada izdižem glavu iznad dušmana oko sebe. U njegovu ću Šatoru prinositi žrtve radosne, Jahvi ću pjevat' i klicati.

⁷Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

⁷Slušaj, o Jahve, glas moga vapaja, milostiv mi budi, usliši me!

⁸When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

⁸Moje mi srce govori: "Traži lice njegovo!" Da, lice tvoje, o Jahve, ja tražim.

⁹Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

⁹Ne skrivaj lica svoga od mene. Ne odbij u gnjevu slugu svoga! Ti, Pomoći moja, nemoj me odbaciti! I ne ostavi me, Bože, Spasitelju moj!

¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.

¹⁰Ako me otac i mati ostave, Jahve će me primiti.

¹¹Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

¹¹Nauči me, Jahve, putu svojemu, ravnom me stazom povedi poradi protivnika mojih.

¹²Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

¹²Bijesu dušmana mojih ne predaj me, jer ustadoše na mene svjedoci lažni koji dašću nasiljem.

¹³I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

¹³Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.

¹⁴Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

¹⁴U Jahvu se uzdaj, ojunači se, čvrsto nek' bude srce tvoje: u Jahvu se uzdaj!
