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 Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: set 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 the bloodthirsty men.
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 soul; the mighty gather themselves together against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake thou to help me, and behold.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
Even thou, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They return at evening, they make a noise 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, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
O my strength, I will wait upon thee: for God is my high tower.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
The God of my mercy shall prevent 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: scatter them by thy power, 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!
[For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for 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!
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more: and let them 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 at evening let them return, let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They shall wander up and down for meat and tarry 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 I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
