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!
Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
My God, his mercy shall prevent me.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
12 Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.
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 thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my 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, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.
