Psalmi 55
1 Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
2 obazri se na me i usliši me! Mučim se u svojoj tjeskobi,
Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
3 zbuni me vika dušmanska i tlačenje grešničko. Navališe na me nesrećom, bijesno me progone.
at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
4 Srce mi je ustreptalo i strah me samrtni spopade.
My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
5 Užas me i trepet hvata, groza me obuze.
Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Zavapih: “O, da su mi krila golubinja, odletio bih da otpočinem!
I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
7 Daleko, daleko bih letio, u pustinji se nastanio;
How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
8 brzo bih si potražio sklonište od bijesne oluje i vihora.”
I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
9 Smeti ih, Gospode, podvoji im jezike, jer nasilje i svađu vidim u gradu;
O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 danju i noću zidinama kruže; bezakonja su i nevolje u njemu.
Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
11 Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.
Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
12 Da me pogrdio dušmanin, bio bih podnio; da se digao na me koji me mrzi, pred njim bih se sakrio.
For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
13 Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik
But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
14 s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.
We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
16 A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.
But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
17 Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.
Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
18 Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.
He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19 Bog će čuti i njih poniziti, Onaj koji kraljuje odvijeka, jer se ne popravljaju, Boga se ne boje.
God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
20 Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.
My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21 Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.
His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
22 Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
23 A njih ti, o Bože, strmoglavi u jamu grobnu! Krvoloci i varalice ni polovicu dana neće doživjeti! A ja se u tebe uzdam!
But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
