¹Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.

¹Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.

²Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

²Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!

³Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

³Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?

⁴They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

⁴Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?

⁵They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.

⁵Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;

⁶They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

⁶kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju

⁷They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”

⁷i govore: "Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!"

⁸Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

⁸Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?

⁹He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?

⁹Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?

¹⁰He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

¹⁰Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?

¹¹Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

¹¹Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.

¹²Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law;

¹²Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:

¹³that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

¹³da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.

¹⁴For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁴Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;

¹⁵For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁵jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

¹⁶Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?

¹⁷Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.

¹⁷Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.

¹⁸When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.

¹⁸Čim pomislim: "Noga mi posrće", dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.

¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

¹⁹Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.

²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

²⁰Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

²¹Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:

²²But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.

²²Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.

²³He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

²³Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
