Psalmi 55
1 Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David.” Give ear, O God, to my prayer, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 obazri se na me i usliši me! Mučim se u svojoj tjeskobi,
Listen unto me, and answer me: I mourn in my grief, and moan;
3 zbuni me vika dušmanska i tlačenje grešničko. Navališe na me nesrećom, bijesno me progone.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast wrong upon me, and in wrath they attack me.
4 Srce mi je ustreptalo i strah me samrtni spopade.
My heart is sorely pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Užas me i trepet hvata, groza me obuze.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and shuddering hath covered me.
6 Zavapih: “O, da su mi krila golubinja, odletio bih da otpočinem!
And I said, Oh that some one would give me wings like a dove! I would fly away and dwell [quietly].
7 Daleko, daleko bih letio, u pustinji se nastanio;
Lo, I would flee far away, I would spend my night in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 brzo bih si potražio sklonište od bijesne oluje i vihora.”
I would prepare hastily a refuge for me from the sweeping wind [and] from storm.
9 Smeti ih, Gospode, podvoji im jezike, jer nasilje i svađu vidim u gradu;
Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city;
10 danju i noću zidinama kruže; bezakonja su i nevolje u njemu.
Day and night do these encompass it upon her walls: and wrong and trouble are in her midst.
11 Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.
Mischief is in her midst: guile and deceit depart not from her 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 that reproached me; then I could bear it: not he that hateth me hath magnified himself against me; then I would have hidden myself from him;
13 Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik
But it is thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance;
14 s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.
So that we took sweet secret counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in tumultuous company.
Let him dispense death over them; let them go down alive into the nether world; for evil is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.
I, however, will call on God: and the Lord will save me.
17 Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.
At evening and morning and noon will I make my complaint and moan: and he heareth my voice.—
18 Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.
He delivereth my soul in peace from the battle against me; for in multitudes are they [contending] with me.
19 Bog će čuti i njih poniziti, Onaj koji kraljuje odvijeka, jer se ne popravljaju, Boga se ne boje.
God will hear, and humble them—yea, he that sitteth enthroned from the oldest time Selah—those who dread no changes, and fear not God.
20 Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.
He stretcheth out his hands against those at peace with him: he violateth his covenant.
21 Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.
The creamy words of his mouth are smooth, yet there is war [in] his heart; his words are softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
22 Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to 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 thou, O God, thou wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: let not the men of blood and deceit live out half their days; but I will indeed trust in thee.
