Psalmi 71
1 Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.
2 U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; For thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah: [Thou art] my trust from my youth.
6 Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.
7 Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.
8 Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.
9 Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
For mine enemies speak concerning me; And they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
11 “Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
Saying, God hath forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
12 O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
13 Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
Let them be put to shame [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14 A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
But I will hope continually, And will praise thee yet more and more.
15 Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, [And] of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers [thereof].
16 Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 Bože, ti mi bijaše učitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam čudesa tvoja.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; And hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not, Until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
19 i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?
20 Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti ćeš me opet oživiti i opet me podići iz dubine zemlje.
Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken us again, And wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.
22 A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [Even] thy truth, O my God: Unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
