¹I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

¹Poučna pjesma. Ezrahijca Etana.

²I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”

²O ljubavi Jahvinoj pjevat ću dovijeka, kroza sva koljena vjernost ću tvoju naviještati.

³“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,

³Ti reče: "Zavijeke je sazdana ljubav moja!" U nebu utemelji vjernost svoju:

⁴‘I will establish your seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah.

⁴"Savez sklopih s izabranikom svojim, zakleh se Davidu, sluzi svome:

⁵The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh; your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

⁵tvoje potomstvo održat ću dovijeka, za sva koljena sazdat ću prijestolje tvoje."

⁶For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,

⁶Nebesa veličaju čudesa tvoja, Jahve, i tvoju vjernost u zboru svetih.

⁷a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?

⁷TÓa tko je u oblacima ravan Jahvi, tko li je Jahvi sličan među sinovima Božjim?

⁸Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

⁸Bog je strahovit u zboru svetih, velik i strašan svima oko sebe.

⁹You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.

⁹Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, tko je kao ti? Silan si, Jahve, i vjernost te okružuje.

¹⁰You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

¹⁰Ti zapovijedaš bučnome moru, obuzdavaš silu valova njegovih;

¹¹The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them.

¹¹ti sasječe Rahaba i zgazi, snažnom mišicom rasu dušmane svoje.

¹²The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

¹²Tvoja su nebesa i tvoja je zemlja, zemljin krug ti si sazdao i sve što je na njemu;

¹³You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.

¹³sjever i jug ti si stvorio, Tabor i Hermon kliču imenu tvojemu.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

¹⁴Tvoja je mišica snažna, ruka čvrsta, desnica dignuta.

¹⁵Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

¹⁵Pravda i Pravednost temelj su prijestolja tvoga, Ljubav i Istina koračaju pred tobom.

¹⁶In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.

¹⁶Blago narodu vičnu svetom klicanju, on hodi u sjaju lica tvojega, Jahve,

¹⁷For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.

¹⁷u tvom se imenu raduje svagda i tvojom se pravdom ponosi.

¹⁸For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁸Jer ti si ures moći njegove, po tvojoj milosti raste snaga naša.

¹⁹Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.

¹⁹Jer Jahve je štit naš, Svetac Izraelov kralj je naš.

²⁰I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,

²⁰Nekoć si u viđenju govorio pobožnima svojim: "Junaku stavih krunu na glavu, izabranika iz naroda izdigoh;

²¹with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

²¹nađoh Davida, slugu svoga, svetim ga svojim uljem pomazah,

²²No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

²²da ruka moja svagda ostane s njime i moja mišica da ga krijepi.

²³I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.

²³Neće ga nadmudriti dušmanin, niti oboriti sin bezakonja.

²⁴But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.

²⁴Razbit ću pred njim protivnike njegove, pogubit ću mrzitelje njegove.

²⁵I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.

²⁵Vjernost moja i dobrota bit će s njime i u mome imenu rast će mu snaga.

²⁶He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’

²⁶Pružit ću njegovu ruku nad more, do Rijeke desnicu njegovu.

²⁷I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁷On će me zvati: 'Oče moj! Bože moj i hridi spasa mojega.'

²⁸I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.

²⁸A ja ću ga prvorođencem učiniti, najvišim među kraljevima svijeta.

²⁹I will also make his seed endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

²⁹Njemu ću sačuvati dovijeka naklonost svoju i Savez svoj vjeran.

³⁰If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;

³⁰Njegovo ću potomstvo učiniti vječnim i prijestolje mu kao dan nebeski.

³¹if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;

³¹Ako li mu sinovi Zakon moj ostave i ne budu hodili po naredbama mojim,

³²then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

³²ako li prestupe odredbe moje i ne budu čuvali zapovijedi mojih;

³³But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

³³šibom ću kazniti nedjelo njihovo, udarcima ljutim krivicu njihovu,

³⁴I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.

³⁴ali mu naklonosti svoje oduzeti neću niti ću prekršiti vjernosti svoje.

³⁵Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

³⁵Neću povrijediti Saveza svojega i neću poreći obećanja svoga.

³⁶His seed will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.

³⁶Jednom se zakleh svetošću svojom: Davida prevariti neću:

³⁷It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.

³⁷potomstvo će njegovo ostati dovijeka, prijestolje njegovo preda mnom kao sunce,

³⁸But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.

³⁸ostat će dovijeka kao mjesec, vjerni svjedok na nebu."

³⁹You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

³⁹A sada ti ga odbi i odbaci, silno se razgnjevi na pomazanika svoga.

⁴⁰You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁴⁰Prezre Savez sa slugom svojim i krunu njegovu do zemlje ponizi.

⁴¹All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

⁴¹Razvali sve zidine njegove, njegove utvrde u ruševine baci.

⁴²You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.

⁴²Pljačkaju ga svi što naiđu, na ruglo je susjedima svojim.

⁴³Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.

⁴³Podiže desnicu dušmana njegovih i obradova protivnike njegove.

⁴⁴You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.

⁴⁴Otupi oštricu mača njegova, u boju mu ne pomože.

⁴⁵You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah.

⁴⁵Njegovu sjaju kraj učini, njegovo prijestolje na zemlju obori.

⁴⁶How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

⁴⁶Skratio si dane mladosti njegove, sramotom ga pokrio.

⁴⁷Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

⁴⁷TÓa dokle ćeš, Jahve? Zar ćeš se uvijek skrivati? Hoće li gnjev tvoj k'o oganj gorjeti?

⁴⁸What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. ? Selah.

⁴⁸Sjeti se kako je kratak život moj, kako si ljude prolazne stvorio!

⁴⁹Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

⁴⁹Tko živ smrti vidjeti neće? Tko će od ruke Podzemlja dušu sačuvati?

⁵⁰Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,

⁵⁰Gdje li je, Jahve, tvoja dobrota iskonska kojom se Davidu zakle na vjernost svoju?

⁵¹With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.

⁵¹Sjeti se, Jahve, sramote slugu svojih: u srcu nosim svu mržnju pogana

⁵²Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen. BOOK IV

⁵²s kojom nasrću dušmani tvoji, Jahve, s kojom nasrću na korake pomazanika tvoga.

⁵³Blagoslovljen Jahve dovijeka! Tako neka bude. Amen!
