< 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.
To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:
2 Dušmani moji nasrću na me povazdan, mnogo ih je koji se na me obaraju. Svevišnji,
Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.
3 kad me strah spopadne, u te ću se uzdati.
What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.
4 Božje obećanje slavim, u Boga ja se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti smrtnik?
In God, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can flesh do unto me?
5 Od jutra do večeri obružuju me, svi naumi njihovi meni su na zlo.
All the day, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;
6 Sastaju se i vrebaju, paze mi na korake, o glavi mi rade.
They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.
7 Plati im prema bezakonju, u gnjevu, o Bože, obori pogane!
Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou 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?
My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?
9 Moji će dušmani uzmaknuti čim te zazovem. Ovo sigurno znam: Bog je za mene!
Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!
10 Božje obećanje slavim,
In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;
11 u Jahvu se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti čovjek?
In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!
12 Vežu me zavjeti koje učinih tebi, o Bože: prinijet ću ti žrtve zahvalne
Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises 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 rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
