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 music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
12 Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're 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; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
