Psalmi 57
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu. Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in thee. Yea, in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge until calamities be passed by.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I will cry to God Most High, to God who performs for me.
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He will send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him who would swallow me up. (Selah) God will send forth his loving kindness and his truth.
4 Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me. They are fallen into the midst of it themselves. (Selah)
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Awake up, my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For thy loving kindness is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the skies.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, thy glory above all the earth.
