To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

1 Ijrochilar rahbariga. Dovud sanosi.
2 Ey Egam, qachongacha meni unutasan?
Nahotki meni to abad unutsang?!
Qachongacha mendan yuz oʻgirasan?
3 Qachongacha jonim azobda qoladi,
Kun boʻyi yuragim gʻamga toʻladi?
Qachongacha dushmanim mendan ustun keladi?
4 Javob ber, ey Egam Xudo, boq holimga!
Kuchimni qaytargin, toki ketmayin oʻlim uyqusiga.
5 “Uni yengdim”, deb aytmasin dushmanim,
Yiqilganimda sevinmasin yovlarim!
6 Men umid bogʻlayman sodiq sevgingga,
Najotingdan qalbim toʻladi quvonchga.
Ey Egam, qoʻshiq aytaman Senga,
Zero, Sen inoyat aylading menga.
