1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
1{Načelniku godbe; kakor ‚Ne pogubi!‘ Davidova zlata pesem, ko je bežal pred Savlom v votlino.} Milosten mi bodi, Bog, milosten mi bodi, ker k tebi je pribežala duša moja, in v senci peruti tvojih iščem zavetja, dokler ne minejo težave.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
2Klical bom k Bogu Najvišjemu, k Bogu mogočnemu, ki vse izvršuje zame.
3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
3Pošlje iz nebes in mi da rešenje, osramoti njega, ki me rohneč preganja. (Sela.) Pošlje Bog milost svojo in resnico svojo.
4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
4Duša moja je sredi levov, ležati mi je med razkačenimi, med ljudmi, katerih zobje so sulice in pšice, in jezik njih je oster meč.
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
5Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. Selah.
6Mrežo so nastavili stopinjam mojim, sovražnik je potlačil dušo mojo, jamo so izkopali pred menoj, a sami so popadali vanjo. (Sela.)
7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
7Utrjeno je srce moje, o Bog, utrjeno je srce moje, pel bom in na strune brenkal.
8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
8Prebudi se slava moja, prebudite se, brenklje in strune, zbudim naj jutranjo zarjo!
9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
9Slavil te bom med ljudstvi, Gospod, psalme ti prepeval med narodi.
10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
10Zakaj velika je do nebes milost tvoja, do nebeških višav resnica tvoja.Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
11Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog, nad vso zemljo bodi slava tvoja!
