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.
Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into a cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trusts in you. And I will hope in the shadow of your wings, until iniquity passes away.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me. God has sent his mercy and his truth.
4 Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men: their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, yet they have fallen into it.
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp. I will arise in early morning.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. I will compose a psalm to you among the nations.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For your mercy has been magnified, even to the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
