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.
To the Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave. Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. (Selah) God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
4 Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
My soul, is in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear 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, Above all the earth, thy glory!
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, —They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! (Selah)
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
