Psalmi 70

1 Zborovođi. Davidov. Za spomen. O Bože, spasi me, Jahve, u pomoć mi pohitaj!

To the Chief Musician. David’s. To call to Remembrance. [Be pleased] O God, to rescue me, O Yahweh, to help me—make haste.

2 Nek' se postide i smetu svi koji mi o glavi rade! Nek' odstupe i nek' se posrame koji se nesreći mojoj raduju!

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

3 Nek' uzmaknu u sramoti svojoj koji zlurado na me grohoću!

Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, Aha! Aha!

4 Neka kliču i nek' se vesele u tebi svi koji tebe traže! Neka govore svagda: “Velik je Bog!” svi koji spasenje tvoje ljube!

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, —say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.

5 A bijedan sam ja i nevoljan, o Bože, u pomoć mi pohitaj! Ti si pomoć moja i spasitelj; Jahve, ne kasni!

But, I, being humbled and needy, O God, haste to me, —My help and my deliverer, art thou, O Yahweh do not tarry.
