¹{Načelniku godbe. Psalm Davidov.} O Bog hvale moje, ne molči!

²for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

²Kajti usta krivičnega in usta zvijačna so se odprla zoper mene, govorila so zoper mene z lažnivim jezikom;

³They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

³in z besedami sovražnimi so me obdali, se vojskovali z menoj brez vzroka.

⁴In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

⁴Za ljubezen mojo so mi črtilci, jaz pa stanovitno molim,

⁵They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁵in vračajo mi hudo za dobro in sovraštvo za ljubezen mojo.

⁶Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

⁶Postavi čezenj brezbožnika in protivnik naj mu stoji kot tožnik na desni.

⁷When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

⁷Ko pride pred sodbo, odide naj obsojen; in molitev njegova bodi mu v greh.

⁸Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

⁸Malo bodi dni njegovih in službo njegovo naj prejme drug.

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

⁹Otroci njegovi naj bodo sirote in žena njegova bodi vdova.

¹⁰Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

¹⁰In neprestano naj se klatijo in beračijo otroci njegovi in iščejo naj kruha daleč od podrtih bivališč svojih.

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

¹¹Upnik naj ga odere za vse, kar ima, in tujci naj uplenijo, kar si je pridobil.

¹²Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.

¹²Ne bodi mu nikogar, ki mu dobroto pomoli, in nihče naj ne izkaže usmiljenja sirotam njegovim.

¹³Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹³Pokončan bodi zarod njegov, v drugem rodu bodi izbrisano njih ime.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁴V spominu bodi krivica očetov njegovih pri GOSPODU in greh matere njegove se ne izbriši.

¹⁵Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁵Bodo naj vedno pred očmi GOSPODU, da iztrebi z zemlje njih spomin.

¹⁶because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

¹⁶Zato ker ni maral izkazovati usmiljenja, ampak je preganjal moža ubogega in potrebnega in njega, ki mu je srce potrto, da ga usmrti.

¹⁷Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

¹⁷In ljubil je prokletstvo, zato ga je zadelo, in ni se veselil blagoslova, zato mu je daleč ostalo.

¹⁸He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

¹⁸Oblačil se je s prokletstvom kakor z oblačilom svojim, in šlo mu je v notranjščino kakor voda in kakor olje v kosti njegove.

¹⁹Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

¹⁹Bodi mu torej kakor suknja, ki se ž njo ogrinja, in kakor pas, ki se ž njim vedno opasuje.

²⁰This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.

²⁰To bodi plačilo protivnikom mojim od GOSPODA in njim, ki hudo govoré zoper dušo mojo.

²¹But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

²¹Ti pa, o Jehova Gospod, ravnaj milostno z menoj zavoljo imena svojega; ker je dobra milost tvoja, reši me!

²²for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

²²Kajti ubožen sem in potreben, in srce moje je prebodeno v meni.

²³I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

²³Kakor senca, ko se nagiblje, ginem; kakor kobilico me semtertja podé.

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

²⁴Kolena moja se šibé od posta in meso mi hujša, da ni več tolščobe.

²⁵I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

²⁵Vrhutega sem jim v zasramovanje; ko me vidijo, majejo z glavo svojo.

²⁶Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

²⁶Pomagaj mi, o GOSPOD, Bog moj, reši me po milosti svoji,

²⁷that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.

²⁷da spoznajo, da je to roka tvoja, da si ti, GOSPOD, to storil.

²⁸They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

²⁸Preklinjajo naj, ti me blagoslavljaj! Ko se povzdignejo, bodo osramočeni, a hlapec tvoj se bo veselil.

²⁹Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

²⁹Z nečastjo se morajo odeti protivniki moji in ogrniti se kakor s plaščem s sramoto svojo.

³⁰I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

³⁰Hvalil bom močno z usti svojimi GOSPODA in sredi mnogih ga bom proslavljal,da stoji na desni siromaku, da ga reši njih, ki mu obsojajo dušo.

³¹For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

³¹da stoji na desni siromaku, da ga reši njih, ki mu obsojajo dušo.
