< 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 end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those 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 bloody men.
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They shall return at evening, and hunger 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 shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
will keep my strength, [looking] to you; for you, O God, are my helper.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
[As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
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, let them be even taken in their pride.
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause)
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
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 to your strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
[You are] my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
