Psalmi 71
1 Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.
2 U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.
3 Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.
4 Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.
6 Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.
7 Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.
8 Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.
9 Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.
10 Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,
11 “Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.
12 O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.
13 Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.
14 A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.
15 Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.
16 Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
17 Bože, ti mi bijaše učitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam čudesa tvoja.
O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.
18 Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.
19 i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?
20 Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti ćeš me opet oživiti i opet me podići iz dubine zemlje.
You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.
21 Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.
22 A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.
24 I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
