King James Bible	Hrvatska Biblija
¹ For great are thy judgments, and cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.	¹ Veliki su i nedokučivi sudovi tvoji, zato lutaju duše nepoučljive.
² For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay [there] exiled from the eternal providence.	² Dok su mislili bezbožnici da imaju u vlasti sveti narod tvoj, postadoše sužnji tmine u okovima duge noći, zatvoreni pod svojim krovovima, prognanici vječne providnosti.
³ For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with [strange] apparitions.	³ Mišljahu da će im se tajni grijesi skriti, pokriveni tamnim velom zaborava, a rasuše se u užasnu strahu, zaplašeni utvarama.
⁴ For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises [as of waters] falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.	⁴ Ni skrovište u koje se povukoše nije ih sačuvalo od straha, nego se oko njih razlijegao grozan jek, ukazivahu im se kobne utvare, mračnih lica.
⁵ No power of the fire might give them light: neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible night.	⁵ I nikakva im sila ognjena nije mogla svjetla pružiti, niti su sjajne plamene zvijezde mogle osvijetliti tu strašnu noć.
⁶ Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.	⁶ Jedino im se ukazivaše neka lomača, sama od sebe upaljena, puna užasa; i kad bi ta prikaza iščezla, oni je, izvan sebe od straha, držahu strašnijom nego što bijaše.
⁷ As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.	⁷ Nemoćna bijahu njihova umijeća čarobnjačka i njihovo hvastanje razborom bijaše izvrgnuto ruglu.
⁸ For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.	⁸ Jer oni koji prije obećavahu kako će istjerati strah i tjeskobu iz bolne duše, sami se razbolješe od straha smiješnoga.
⁹ For though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents,	⁹ Kad ih i nije ništa strahovito plašilo, bješe im na užas gmizanje životinja i šištanje zmija. Ginuli su od straha, ne usuđujući se pogledati ni u zrak kojem se ne može umaknuti.
¹⁰ They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.	¹⁰ Jer zloća je strašljivaca: vlastitim se svjedočanstvom osuđuje i uvijek zlo uvećava kad je stane savjest tištiti.
¹¹ For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things.	¹¹ Jer strah i nije drugo nego izdaja pomagala što ih razum daje:
¹² For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth.	¹² što se manje čovjek u sebi na njih oslanja, to mu teže pada što ne zna uzrok svojoj patnji.
¹³ And the expectation from within, being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.	¹³ I tako oni, one noći zaista nemoćne, izišle iz dubina podzemlja nemoćnog, usnuli istim snom,
¹⁴ But they sleeping the same sleep that night, which was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of the bottoms of inevitable hell,	¹⁴ bijahu progonjeni strašnim sablastima ili su smalaksali obamrle duše, jer ih napade iznenadan i neočekivan strah.
¹⁵ Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a sudden fear, and not looked for, came upon them.	¹⁵ I tako svaki, pavši gdje se našao, osta zatočen u tamnici bez prijevornica:
¹⁶ So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars,	¹⁶ i orač i pastir i radnik koji se samotan muči zaskočeni zapadoše u neminovnu nevolju, svi bijahu okovani jednim lancem tame.
¹⁷ For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.	¹⁷ I šumni vjetar, i milopojni ptičji glas među lisnim granama, i odmjeren huk vode što silovito protječe; i divlja buka pećinâ što se ruše,
¹⁸ Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melodious noise of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of water running violently,	¹⁸ i nevidljiva trka životinja što skaču, i urlik ljutih divljih zvijeri, i jeka što se odbija od gorskih dolova – sve ih ispunjaše užasom.
¹⁹ Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.	¹⁹ A sav svijet blistao od sjajne svjetlosti i prepuštao se nesmetano svojim djelima.
²⁰ For the whole world shined with clear light, and none were hindered in their labour:	²⁰ Jedino se nad njima raskrilila teška noć, slika mraka koji će ih primiti; ali teži od same tame bijahu oni – teret sami sebi.
²¹ Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.
