1Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
1Dosudi mi pravo, Bože, i povedi parbu moju protiv čeljadi bezbožne, izbavi me od čovjeka zlobna i opaka!
2For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
2Jer ti si, Bože, zaklon moj: zašto me odbacuješ? Zašto obilazim žalostan, pritisnut dušmanima?
3Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.
3Pošlji svjetlost svoju i vjernost: nek' me vode, nek' me dovedu na tvoju svetu goru, u šatore tvoje!
4Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
4I pristupit ću Božjem žrtveniku, Bogu, radosti svojoj. Harfom ću slaviti tebe, Bože, o Bože moj!
5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
5Što si mi, dušo, klonula i što jecaš u meni? U Boga se uzdaj, jer opet ću ga slaviti, spasenje svoje, Boga svog!
