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. A michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, my God; set me on high away from those who rise up against me.
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Keep me safe 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, see, they wait in ambush to take my life. The powerful men gather themselves together against me, but not because of my transgression or my sin, Yahweh.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
They prepare to run at me although I am without fault; awake and help me and see.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
You, Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise and punish all the nations; do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They return at evening, they howl like dogs and go around the city.
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
See, they belch out with their mouths; swords are in their lips, for they say, “Who hears us?”
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But you, Yahweh, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
God, my strength, I will pay attention to you; you are my high tower.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
My God will meet me with his covenant faithfulness; God will let me see my desire on my enemies.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by your power and make them fall, 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 sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be captured in their pride, and for the curses and lies that they express.
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 so that they will be no more; let them know that God rules in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
At evening they return, howling like dogs going around the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They wander about looking for food and they growl like a dog if they are 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 about your strength, and in the morning I will sing about your steadfast love! For you have 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.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of covenant faithfulness.
