1Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.
1Voor muziekbegeleiding. Een psalm van David. Jahweh, in uw schutse verheugt zich de koning; Hoe blijde juicht hij om uw hulp!
2O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
2Gij hebt zijn hartewens vervuld, De bede zijner lippen niet afgewezen.
3O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
3Neen, Gij tradt hem tegen met rijke zegen, En zette hem een gouden kroon op het hoofd.
4But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
4Léven vroeg hij U: Gij hebt het hem geschonken, Lengte van dagen: voor eeuwig en immer.
5In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
5Groot is zijn majesteit door uw hulp, Gij hebt hem met glorie en luister getooid;
6They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6Want Gij hebt hem overstelpt met zegen voor immer, Hem met vreugde overstroomd voor uw aanschijn.
7But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
7Ja, de koning blijft op Jahweh vertrouwen, Op de gunst van den Allerhoogste, zonder te wankelen!
8All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
8Uw hand zal al uw vijanden treffen, Uw rechterhand al die u haten;
9He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9Gij zult ze doen blozen als een gloeiende oven, Wanneer gij maar een blik op hen werpt. Jahweh zal in zijn toorn ze verslinden, En het vuur ze verteren.
10For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10Hun vrucht zult gij van de aarde verdelgen, Hun kroost onder de kinderen der mensen.
11I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God,
11En als ze u kwaad willen doen, Of boze plannen beramen, bereiken zij niets;
12Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
12Want gij zult ze de hielen doen lichten, En met uw boog op hen mikken.
13Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
13Sta op dan, Jahweh, in uw kracht; Dan zingen en prijzen wij uw macht!
14They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
