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, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath 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 hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons 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, and thy 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, and they are fallen into it.
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
