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. Al tashheth. A michtam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave. Be gracious, O God, be gracious to me, for in you I take shelter. In your sheltering wings I take refuge, till ruin be over past.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I cry to the Most High God, to the God who accomplishes 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 me his succour from heaven, he will thrust away those who would trample me. (Selah)
4 Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
In the midst of lions I lie, who devour human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue is a sharpened sword.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted, God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
They set a net for my feet, but in it was their own foot caught. Before me they dug a pit, but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
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 would sing, I would make music;
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
awake, my soul. Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I would praise you among the peoples, O Lord, and make music among the nations to you;
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
for great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted, God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.
