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.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. (Selah) God sends forth His loving devotion 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 the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it!
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
