¹Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

¹{Pesem in psalm sinov Korahovih. Načelniku godbe; na mahalat leanot. Pouk Hemana Ezrahovca.} O GOSPOD, Bog zveličanja mojega, po dnevi kličem in po noči pred teboj.

²Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.

²Pred obličje tvoje pridi molitev moja, nagni uho svoje k mojemu vpitju.

³For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

³Kajti nasičena je z nadlogami duša moja in življenje moje je dospelo do kraja mrtvih.

⁴I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

⁴Štejejo me med tiste, ki se pogrezajo v jamo; podoben sem možu, ki mu je minila življenja moč.

⁵set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

⁵Med mrtvimi sem zapuščen kakor pobiti, ležeči v grobu, ki se jih ne spominjaš več, ker so ločeni od tvoje roke.

⁶You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

⁶Položil si me v jamo najglobočjo, v kraje temne, v globočine.

⁷Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

⁷Trdo me tlači jeza tvoja in vse valove svoje zaganjaš v me. (Sela.)

⁸You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.

⁸Oddalil si od mene znance moje, storil si me njim v najhujšo gnusobo; zajet sem, in pobegniti ne morem.

⁹My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you.

⁹Oko moje mrli od bede; kličem te, GOSPOD, vsak dan, k tebi razpenjam roke svoje.

¹⁰Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah.

¹⁰Boš li na mrtvih delal čudeže? Ali mrtvi vstajajo, da bi te slavili? (Sela.)

¹¹Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?

¹¹Ali naj bi se v grobu oznanjala milost tvoja, zvestoba tvoja v kraju pogube?

¹²Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹²Ali se mar v temini spoznajo čuda tvoja in pravičnost tvoja v pozabljenja deželi?

¹³But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.

¹³Jaz pa vpijem, GOSPOD, k tebi, že zjutraj ti hiti naproti molitev moja.

¹⁴Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

¹⁴Zakaj zametaš dušo mojo, o GOSPOD, skrivaš mi obličje svoje?

¹⁵I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

¹⁵Siromak sem in blizu smrti od mladosti svoje, strahove tvoje prenašam in sem izbegan.

¹⁶Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.

¹⁶Jeze tvoje žar gre čezme, strahote tvoje me uničujejo;

¹⁷They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.

¹⁷obdajajo me kakor vode ves dan, obstopajo me vse skupaj.Oddalil si od mene prijatelja in tovariša, temine so mi znanci edini.

¹⁸You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.

¹⁸Oddalil si od mene prijatelja in tovariša, temine so mi znanci edini.
