9 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
We have thought of your mercy, O God, in the midst of your people.
10 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
According to your name, O God, so is also your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!

12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell you her towers.
13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
Mark you well her strength, and observe her palaces; that you may tell the next generation.
14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
