¹Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

¹Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.

²Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

²Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!

³who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

³Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

⁴to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

⁴koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,

⁵They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

⁵da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.

⁶They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

⁶Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: "Tko će nas vidjeti?"

⁷But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

⁷Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.

⁸Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

⁸No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

⁹All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

⁹Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:

¹⁰The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

¹⁰svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.

¹¹Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.
