¹God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

¹{Psalm Asafov.} O Bog, pridrli so pogani v dediščino tvojo, oskrunili so hram svetosti tvoje, v groblje so izpremenili Jeruzalem.

²They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.

²Dali so hlapcev tvojih trupla ptičem nebeškim, meso svetnikov tvojih zverinam zemlje.

³Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.

³Prelivali so njih kri kakor vodo okrog Jeruzalema, in ni ga bilo, ki bi jih pokopaval.

⁴We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.

⁴V zasramovanje smo sosedom svojim, v zasmehovanje in norčevanje njim, ki so okoli nas.

⁵How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

⁵Doklej, GOSPOD, boš li se jezil večno? Bo li gorela kakor ogenj gorečnost tvoja?

⁶Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you; on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name;

⁶Izlij srd svoj na pogane, ki te ne spoznavajo, in na kraljestva, ki ne kličejo tvojega imena!

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.

⁷Kajti pojedli so Jakoba in razdejali so prebivališče njegovo.

⁸Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

⁸Ne spominjaj se krivic prednikov naših zoper nas, brzo naj nam pride naproti usmiljenje tvoje, ker obubožali smo silno.

⁹Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.

⁹Pomagaj nam, Bog zveličanja našega, zavoljo časti svojega imena, in reši nas ter prikrij grehe naše zaradi svojega imena.

¹⁰Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.

¹⁰Zakaj naj bi govorili pogani: Kje je njih Bog? Znano bodi med pogani pred našimi očmi maščevanje prelite krvi hlapcev tvojih.

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.

¹¹Pred obličje tvoje naj pride zdihovanje jetnikov, po velikosti moči svoje ohrani v življenju, katere že izročajo smrti.

¹²Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.

¹²In povrni sosedom našim sedemkrat v njih naročje sramoto, s katero so te zasramovali, o Gospod.Mi pa, ljudstvo tvoje in čreda paše tvoje, te bomo slavili večno; od roda do roda bomo oznanjali hvalo tvojo.

¹³So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.

¹³Mi pa, ljudstvo tvoje in čreda paše tvoje, te bomo slavili večno; od roda do roda bomo oznanjali hvalo tvojo.
