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!
To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. (Selah)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, — God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, 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!
[Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be 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 as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
