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 Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached — who is panting after me. (Selah) God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.
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 [among] flames — sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour!
