1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
1Zborovođi. Po napjevu "Ne pogubi!" Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
2Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.
3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
3Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
4Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
5Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. Selah.
6Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
7Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
8Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
9Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
10Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
11jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
12Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
