²Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

²Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:

¹²For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

¹²Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.

¹³But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

¹³Da me pogrdio dušmanin, bio bih podnio; da se digao na me koji me mrzi, pred njim bih se sakrio.

¹⁴We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

¹⁴Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. . For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁵s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.

¹⁶Smrt neka ih zaskoči, živi nek' siđu u Podzemlje jer im je pakost u stanu i srcu.

¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

¹⁷A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.

¹⁸He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

¹⁸Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.

¹⁹God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God.

¹⁹Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

²¹Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.

²²Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

²²Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.

²³But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

²³Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.

²⁴A njih ti, o Bože, strmoglavi u jamu grobnu! Krvoloci i varalice ni polovicu dana neće doživjeti! A ja se u tebe uzdam!
