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 leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.” Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things 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; He will put to shame him that panteth for my life; (Pause) God will send forth 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.
My life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Exalt thyself, 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 have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
