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 leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Deliver me from the doers 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, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! (Pause)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; “For who,” say they, “will hear?”
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
My God will come to meet me with his mercy; God will cause me to look with joy upon my 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; Scatter them by thy power, and cast 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!
The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which 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 thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! (Pause)
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
Let them wander about for food, When they have passed the night unsatisfied!
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 thy power; Yea, in the morning will I sing aloud of thy mercy; For thou hast been my defence, My refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
To thee, O my Strength! will I sing! For God is my defence; a God of mercy to me.
