¹Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

¹Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Zborovođi. Po napjevu "Bolest". Za pjevanje. Poučna pjesma. Ezrahijca Hemana.

²Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.

²Jahve, Bože moj, vapijem danju, a noću naričem pred tobom.

³For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

³Neka dopre do tebe molitva moja, prigni uho k vapaju mome.

⁴I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

⁴Jer mi je duša zasićena patnjama, moj se život bliži Podzemlju.

⁵set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

⁵Broje me k onima što u grob silaze, postadoh sličan nemoćniku.

⁶You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

⁶Među mrtvima moj je ležaj, poput ubijenih što leže u grobu kojih se više ne spominješ, od kojih si ustegao ruku.

⁷Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

⁷Smjestio si me u jamu duboku, u tmine, u bezdan.

⁸You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.

⁸Teško me pritišće ljutnja tvoja i svim me valima svojim prekrivaš.

⁹My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you.

⁹Udaljio si od mene znance moje, Óučini da im gnusan budem: zatvoren sam, ne mogu izaći.

¹⁰Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.

¹⁰Od nevolje oči mi gasnu: vapijem tebi, Jahve, iz dana u dan, za tobom ruke pružam.

¹¹Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

¹¹Zar na mrtvima činiš čudesa? Zar će sjene ustati i hvaliti tebe?

¹²Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹²Zar se u grobu pripovijeda o tvojoj dobroti? O vjernosti tvojoj u Propasti?

¹³But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.

¹³Zar se u tmini objavljuju čudesa tvoja i tvoja pravda u Zaboravu?

¹⁴Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

¹⁴Ipak ja vapijem tebi, Jahve, prije jutra molitvom te pretječem.

¹⁵I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

¹⁵Zašto, Jahve, odbacuješ dušu moju? Zašto sakrivaš lice od mene?

¹⁶Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.

¹⁶Bijedan sam i umirem već od dječaštva, klonuh noseći tvoje strahote.

¹⁷They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

¹⁷Preko mene prijeđoše vihori tvojega gnjeva, strahote me tvoje shrvaše,

¹⁸You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.

¹⁸okružuju me kao voda sveudilj, optječu me svi zajedno.

¹⁹Udaljio si od mene prijatelja i druga: mrak mi je znanac jedini.
