1Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.
1Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.
2Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
2Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!
3Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
3Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.
4I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
4Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.
5My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
5Zavapih: "Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!"
6If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
6Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: "Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?"
7All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
7I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.
8“An evil disease,” they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
8Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:
9Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
9"Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila." Ili: "Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje."
10But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
10Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.
11By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
11A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.
12As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
12Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.
13Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen. BOOK II
13A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.
14Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
