2 Mene je odveo i natjerao da hodam u tmini i bez svjetlosti.
Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.
3 I upravo mene bije i udara bez prestanka njegova ruka.
Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.
4 Iscijedio je moje meso, kožu moju, polomio kosti moje.

9 Zazidao mi ceste tesanim kamenom, zakrčio je putove moje.

10 Meni on bijaše medvjed koji vreba, lav u zasjedi.
Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.
11 U bespuća me vodio, razdirao, ostavljao me da umirem.
Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate.
12 Napinjao je luk svoj i gađao me kao metu za svoje strelice.

15 Gorčinom me hranio, pelinom me napajao.
He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with wormwood.
16 Puštao me da zube kršim kamen grizući, zakapao me u pepeo.
Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with ashes.
17 Duši je mojoj oduzet mir i više ne znam što je sreća!
Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things.
18 Rekoh: Dotrajao je život moj i nada koja mi od Jahve dolazi.
Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord.
19 Spomeni se bijede moje i stradanja, pelina i otrova!
Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood, and the gall.
20 Bez prestanka na to misli i sahne duša u meni.
Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me.
21 To nosim u srcu i gojim nadu u sebi.
Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope.
22 Dobrota Jahvina nije nestala, milosrđe njegovo nije presušilo.
Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed.
23 Oni se obnavljaju svako jutro: tvoja je vjernost velika!
Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.
24 “Jahve je dio moj”, veli mi duša, “i zato se u nj pouzdajem.”
Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him.
25 Dobar je Jahve onom koji se u nj pouzdaje, duši koja ga traži.

29 neka usne priljubi uz prašinu, možda još ima nade!
Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
30 Neka pruži obraz onome koji ga bije, neka se zasiti porugom.
Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be filled with reproaches.
31 Jer Gospod ne odbacuje nikoga zauvijek:
Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
32 jer ako i rastuži, on se smiluje po svojoj velikoj ljubavi.
Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 Jer samo nerado on ponižava i rascvili sinove čovjeka.
Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men.
34 Kad se gaze nogama svi zemaljski sužnjevi,
Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,
35 kad se izvrće pravica čovjeku pred licem Svevišnjeg,
Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the most High,
36 kad se krivica nanosi čovjeku u parnici, zar Gospod ne vidi?
Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath not approved.
37 Tko je rekao nešto i zbilo se? Nije li Gospod to zapovjedio?
Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38 Ne dolazi li iz usta Svevišnjega i dobro i zlo?
Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest?
39 Na što se tuže živi ljudi? Svatko na svoj grijeh.
Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?
40 Ispitajmo, pretražimo pute svoje i vratimo se Jahvi.

42 Da, mi smo se odmetali, bili nepokorni, a ti, ti nisi praštao!
Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore thou art inexorable.
43 Obastrt gnjevom svojim, gonio si nas, ubijao i nisi štedio.

55 I tada zazvah ime tvoje, Jahve, iz najdublje jame.

56 Ti oču moj glas: “Ne začepljuj uši svoje na vapaje moje.”

64 Vrati im, Jahve, milo za drago, po djelu ruku njihovih.
