¹Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

¹Davidov. ALEF Nemoj se žestiti na opake, zavidjet nemoj pakosnicima:

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.

²kao trava brzo se osuše, k'o mlada zelen brzo uvenu.

³Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

³BET U Jahvu se uzdaj i čini dobro, da smiješ stanovati u zemlji i živjeti u miru.

⁴Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

⁴Sva radost tvoja neka bude Jahve: on će ispuniti želje tvoga srca!

⁵Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

⁵GIMEL Prepusti Jahvi putove svoje, u njega se uzdaj i on će sve voditi.

⁶he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun.

⁶Pravda će tvoja zasjati k'o svjetlost i tvoje pravo k'o sunce podnevno.

⁷Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

⁷DALET Smiri se pred Jahvom i njemu se nadaj, ne žesti se na onog koji ima sreće, na čovjeka koji spletke kuje.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing.

⁸HE Stišaj svoj gnjev i ostavi se srdžbe, ne žesti se da zlo ne učiniš.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land.

⁹Jer će biti satrti zlikovci, a koji se u Jahvu uzdaju, baštinit će zemlju.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.

¹⁰VAU Još malo i nestat će bezbožnika: mjesto ćeš njegovo tražiti, a njega više nema.

¹¹But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹¹Zemlju će posjedovati krotki, obilje mira oni će uživat'.

¹²The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

¹²ZAJIN Bezbožnik smišlja zlo pravedniku i zubima škrguće na njega.

¹³The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

¹³A Gospod se njemu smije jer vidi da dan njegov dolazi.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

¹⁴HET Mač potežu bezbošci i zapinju lukove da obore jadnika i siromaha, da pokolju one koji hode pravim putem.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

¹⁵Mačem će vlastito srce probiti, slomit će se njihovi lukovi.

¹⁶Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁶TET Bolje je i malo u pravednika no golemo blago u zlotvora:

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

¹⁷jer će se ruke zlotvora slomiti, a Jahve je oslon pravedniku.

¹⁸Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

¹⁸JOD Jahve se brine za život čestitih, dovijeka će trajati baština njihova.

¹⁹They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

¹⁹Neće se postidjeti u vrijeme nevolje, bit će siti u danima gladi.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.

²⁰KAF A bezbožnici će propasti, dušmani Jahvini povenut će k'o ures livada, poput dima se rasplinuti.

²¹The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.

²¹LAMED Bezbožnik zaima, ali ne vraća, pravednik se sažaljeva i daje.

²²For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

²²Oni koje Jahve blagoslovi baštinit će zemlju, a koje prokune bit će zatrti.

²³A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

²³MEM Jahve vodi i učvršćuje korake čovjeku i mio mu je put njegov.

²⁴Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

²⁴Ako i posrne, ne pada jer ga Jahve drži za ruku.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

²⁵NUN Mlad bijah i ostarjeh, al' ne vidjeh pravednika napuštena ili da mu djeca kruha prose.

²⁶All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His seed is blessed.

²⁶Uvijek je milosrdan i u zajam daje, na njegovu je potomstvu blagoslov.

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.

²⁷SAMEK Zla se kloni i čini dobro, i ostat ćeš dovijeka.

²⁸For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁸Jer Jahve ljubi pravdu i pobožnika svojih ne ostavlja. AJIN Zauvijek će biti zatrti zlikovci, istrijebit će se potomstvo bezbožnika.

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.

²⁹Zemlju će posjedovati pravednici i živjet će na njoj dovijeka.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

³⁰PE Pravednikova usta mudrost kazuju, a jezik njegov govori pravo.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

³¹Zakon mu je Božji u srcu, ne kolebaju se koraci njegovi.

³²The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.

³²SADE Bezbožnik vreba pravednoga i smišlja da ga usmrti.

³³Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

³³Jahve ga neće ostaviti u njegovoj vlasti i neće dopustiti da ga na sudu osude.

³⁴Wait for Yahweh, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

³⁴KOF U Jahvu se uzdaj i drži se puta njegova: on će te uzvisit' i baštinit ćeš zemlju; radostan ćeš gledati propast bezbožnih.

³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

³⁵REŠ Vidjeh obijesna zlotvora gdje se k'o cedar krošnjat širi.

³⁶But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

³⁶Prođoh, i gle - nema ga više; potražih ga i ne nađoh.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

³⁷ŠIN Promatraj čestita i gledaj neporočna: mirotvorac ima potomstvo.

³⁸As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

³⁸A grešnici bit će svi iskorijenjeni, istrijebit će se zlikovačko sjeme.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

³⁹TAU Od Jahve dolazi spas pravednicima, on im je zaklon u vrijeme nevolje.

⁴⁰Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.

⁴⁰Jahve im pomaže, on ih izbavlja: on će ih izbaviti od zlotvora i spasiti, jer u njemu traže okrilje.
