Psalmi 37
1 Davidov. ALEF Nemoj se žestiti na opake, zavidjet nemoj pakosnicima:
A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 kao trava brzo se osuše, k'o mlada zelen brzo uvenu.
For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3 BET U Jahvu se uzdaj i čini dobro, da smiješ stanovati u zemlji i živjeti u miru.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
4 Sva radost tvoja neka bude Jahve: on će ispuniti želje tvoga srca!
So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
5 GIMEL Prepusti Jahvi putove svoje, u njega se uzdaj i on će sve voditi.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
6 Pravda će tvoja zasjati k'o svjetlost i tvoje pravo k'o sunce podnevno.
And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
7 DALET Smiri se pred Jahvom i njemu se nadaj, ne žesti se na onog koji ima sreće, na čovjeka koji spletke kuje.
Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 HE Stišaj svoj gnjev i ostavi se srdžbe, ne žesti se da zlo ne učiniš.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
9 Jer će biti satrti zlikovci, a koji se u Jahvu uzdaju, baštinit će zemlju.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
10 VAU Još malo i nestat će bezbožnika: mjesto ćeš njegovo tražiti, a njega više nema.
And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
11 Zemlju će posjedovati krotki, obilje mira oni će uživat'.
But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 ZAJIN Bezbožnik smišlja zlo pravedniku i zubima škrguće na njega.
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.

The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
14 HET Mač potežu bezbošci i zapinju lukove da obore jadnika i siromaha, da pokolju one koji hode pravim putem.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
15 Mačem će vlastito srce probiti, slomit će se njihovi lukovi.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 TET Bolje je i malo u pravednika no golemo blago u zlotvora:
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 jer će se ruke zlotvora slomiti, a Jahve je oslon pravedniku.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 JOD Jahve se brine za život čestitih, dovijeka će trajati baština njihova.
The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Neće se postidjeti u vrijeme nevolje, bit će siti u danima gladi.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 KAF A bezbožnici će propasti, dušmani Jahvini povenut će k'o ures livada, poput dima se rasplinuti.
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
21 LAMED Bezbožnik zaima, ali ne vraća, pravednik se sažaljeva i daje.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
25 NUN Mlad bijah i ostarjeh, al' ne vidjeh pravednika napuštena ili da mu djeca kruha prose.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 Uvijek je milosrdan i u zajam daje, na njegovu je potomstvu blagoslov.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
34 KOF U Jahvu se uzdaj i drži se puta njegova: on će te uzvisit' i baštinit ćeš zemlju; radostan ćeš gledati propast bezbožnih.
Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 REŠ Vidjeh obijesna zlotvora gdje se k'o cedar krošnjat širi.
