Psalmi 56

1 Zborovođi. Prema napjevu “Golubica nijema u daljini”. Davidov. Miktam. Kad su ga u Gatu uhitili Filistejci. Smiluj mi se, moj Bože, jer me dušmanin hoće zgaziti, napadač me moj neprestano tlači.

For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.

2 Dušmani moji nasrću na me povazdan, mnogo ih je koji se na me obaraju. Svevišnji,

They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

3 kad me strah spopadne, u te ću se uzdati.

In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.

4 Božje obećanje slavim, u Boga ja se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti smrtnik?

In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

5 Od jutra do večeri obružuju me, svi naumi njihovi meni su na zlo.

All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Sastaju se i vrebaju, paze mi na korake, o glavi mi rade.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

7 Plati im prema bezakonju, u gnjevu, o Bože, obori pogane!

Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.

8 Ti izbroji dane mog progonstva, sabrao si suze moje u mijehu svom. Nije li sve zapisano u knjizi tvojoj?

Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?

9 Moji će dušmani uzmaknuti čim te zazovem. Ovo sigurno znam: Bog je za mene!

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.

10 Božje obećanje slavim,

In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —

11 u Jahvu se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti čovjek?

In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

12 Vežu me zavjeti koje učinih tebi, o Bože: prinijet ću ti žrtve zahvalne

Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

13 jer si mi dušu od smrti spasio. Ti si očuvao noge moje od pada, da pred Bogom hodim u svjetlosti živih.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
