¹God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

¹Poučna pjesma. Asafova. Zašto si, Bože, posve zabacio, zašto kiptiš gnjevom na ovce paše svoje?

²Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.

²Sjeti se zajednice koju si davno stekao, plÓemena koje namače kao svoju baštinu i brda Siona gdje si Šator svoj udario!

³Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

³Korakni k ruševinama vječnim - sve je u Svetištu razorio neprijatelj.

⁴Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.

⁴Protivnici tvoji vikahu posred skupštine tvoje, znakove svoje postaviše k'o pobjedne znakove.

⁵They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.

⁵Bijahu kao oni koji mašu sjekirom po guštari,

⁶sjekirom i maljem vrata mu razbijali.

⁷They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.

⁷Ognju predadoše Svetište tvoje, do zemlje oskvrnuše Prebivalište tvoga imena.

⁸They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.

⁸Rekoše u srcu: "Istrijebimo ih zajedno; spalite sva svetišta Božja na zemlji!"

⁹We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.

⁹Ne vidimo znakova svojih, proroka više nema, i nitko među nama ne zna dokle ...

¹⁰How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

¹⁰Dokle će se još, o Bože, dušmanin rugati? Hoće li protivnik dovijeka prezirati ime tvoje?

¹¹Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them!

¹¹Zašto povlačiš ruku, zašto u krilu sakrivaš desnicu svoju?

¹²Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹²No Bog je moj kralj od davnine, on koji posred zemlje spasava!

¹³You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

¹³Ti svojom silom rasječe more, smrska glave nakazama u vodi.

¹⁴You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.

¹⁴Ti si Levijatanu glave zdrobio, dao ga za hranu nemanima morskim.

¹⁵You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.

¹⁵Ti si dao da provre izvor i bujica, ti si presušio rijeke nepresušne.

¹⁶The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

¹⁶Tvoj je dan i noć je tvoja, ti učvrsti mjesec i sunce;

¹⁷You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.

¹⁷ti sazda sve granice zemlji, ti stvori ljeto i zimu.

¹⁸Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.

¹⁸Spomeni se ovoga: dušmanin ti se rugaše, Jahve, i bezumni narod pogrdi ime tvoje.

¹⁹Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.

¹⁹Ne predaj jastrebu život grlice svoje, i život svojih siromaha ne zaboravi zauvijek!

²⁰Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

²⁰Pogledaj na Savez svoj, jer svi su zakuci zemlje puni tmina i nasilja.

²¹Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.

²¹Ne daj da jadnik otiđe postiđen: neka siromah i ubog hvale ime tvoje!

²²Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.

²²Ustani, Bože, zauzmi se za svoju parnicu, spomeni se pogrde koju ti bezumnik svaki dan nanosi.

²³Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.

²³Ne zaboravi vike neprijatelja svojih: buka buntovnika još se diže k tebi!
