¹Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

¹{Molitev trpina, ko omaguje in pred GOSPODOM izliva žalovanje svoje.} GOSPOD, čuj molitev mojo, in vpitje moje pridi do tebe!

²Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

²Ne skrivaj mi obličja svojega v dan stiske moje, nagni mi uho svoje; ob dnevi, ko kličem, me hitro usliši!

³For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.

³Kajti ginejo kakor dim dnevi moji in kosti moje goré.

⁴My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

⁴Opaljeno je kakor trava in velo srce moje, kajti pozabil sem jesti kruh svoj.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

⁵Od glasu zdihovanja mojega se držé kosti moje mojega mesa.

⁶I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

⁶Podoben sem pelikanu v puščavi, sem kakor sova v podrtinah.

⁷Bedim in sem kakor samoten vrabec na strehi.

⁸My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.

⁸Ves dan me sramoté sovražniki moji; kateri divjajo zoper mene, se rotijo pri meni.

⁹For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

⁹Kajti pepel jem kakor kruh in pijačo svojo mešam s solzami,

¹⁰Because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.

¹⁰zaradi srda tvojega in togote tvoje, ker vzdignil si me in me vrgel na tla.

¹¹My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.

¹¹Dnevi moji so kakor senca pred mrakom in sam usiham kakor zél.

¹²But you, Yahweh, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.

¹²Ti pa, GOSPOD, ostajaš vekomaj in spomin tvoj od roda do roda.

¹³You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

¹³Ti boš vstal in se usmilil Siona, ker čas je storiti mu milost, ker čas določen je prišel.

¹⁴For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.

¹⁴Kajti hlapcem tvojim je drago njega kamenje in smili se jim njega prah.

¹⁵So the nations will fear the name of Yahweh; all the kings of the earth your glory.

¹⁵In bali se bodo pogani imena GOSPODOVEGA in vsi kralji zemlje slave tvoje.

¹⁶For Yahweh has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

¹⁶Ko sezida GOSPOD Sion in se prikaže v slavi svoji,

¹⁷He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

¹⁷se ozre na molitev zapuščenca, in ne bo zametal njih molitve.

¹⁸This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

¹⁸Zapiše se to naslednjemu rodu, in ljudstvo, ki bode ustvarjeno, bo hvalilo GOSPODA:

¹⁹For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

¹⁹ker je pogledal z višave svetosti svoje, ozrl se GOSPOD iz nebes na zemljo,

²⁰to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death;

²⁰da usliši jetnikov zdihovanje, da oprosti nje, ki so izročeni smrti,

²¹that men may declare the name of Yahweh in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²¹da oznanjajo na Sionu ime GOSPODOVO in hvalo njegovo v Jeruzalemu,

²²when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.

²²ko se zbero ljudstva vsa in kraljestva, da služijo GOSPODU.

²³He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.

²³Potlačil je na tem potu moč mojo, dni moje skrajšal.

²⁴I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

²⁴Dejal sem: Bog moj mogočni, ne vzemi me sredi mojih dni! Skozi vse rodove so dnevi tvoji.

²⁵Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

²⁵Saj ti si nekdaj ustanovil zemljo in delo tvojih rok so nebesa.

²⁶They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

²⁶Ona preidejo, ti pa ostaneš; da, vse tisto se postara kakor oblačilo, kakor obleko jih izpremeniš, in se izpremené.

²⁷But you are the same. Your years will have no end.

²⁷Ti pa si večno isti in let tvojih ni konca!Sinovi hlapcev tvojih bodo prebivali v deželi in njih seme se utrdi pred teboj.

²⁸The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will be established before you.”

²⁸Sinovi hlapcev tvojih bodo prebivali v deželi in njih seme se utrdi pred teboj.
