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 Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

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

My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.

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

When I am afraid, I will 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 I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

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

Every day they pervert my words: 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, when they wait for my soul.

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

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thy anger cast down the people, O God.

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

Thou numberest 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!

When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

10 Božje obećanje slavim,

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

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

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to 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 praises to 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: wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
