Psalmi 55
1 Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:
To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
2 obazri se na me i usliši me! Mučim se u svojoj tjeskobi,
Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
3 zbuni me vika dušmanska i tlačenje grešničko. Navališe na me nesrećom, bijesno me progone.
I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
4 Srce mi je ustreptalo i strah me samrtni spopade.
My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
5 Užas me i trepet hvata, groza me obuze.
Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
6 Zavapih: “O, da su mi krila golubinja, odletio bih da otpočinem!
And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
7 Daleko, daleko bih letio, u pustinji se nastanio;
I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
8 brzo bih si potražio sklonište od bijesne oluje i vihora.”
I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
9 Smeti ih, Gospode, podvoji im jezike, jer nasilje i svađu vidim u gradu;
Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
10 danju i noću zidinama kruže; bezakonja su i nevolje u njemu.
By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
11 Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.
Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in 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 was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
13 Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik
But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
14 s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.
We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
16 A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.
As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
17 Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.
In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
18 Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.
He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
19 Bog će čuti i njih poniziti, Onaj koji kraljuje odvijeka, jer se ne popravljaju, Boga se ne boje.
God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
20 Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.
He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
21 Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
22 Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.
Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
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 send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
