Psalmi 59
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je Šaul opkolio kuću da ubije Davida. Izbavi me od dušmana, Bože moj, zaštiti me od mojih protivnika!
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12 Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
16 A ja ću opjevati silu tvoju i klicat ću jutrom milosrđu tvome, jer mi ti postade utočište i sklonište u dan nevolje.
But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
