Psalmi 71
1 Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame.
2 U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline thine ear to me, and save me.
3 Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for thou art my fortress and my refuge.
4 Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
5 jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
For thou art my support, O Lord; O Lord, [thou art] my hope from my youth.
6 Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my praise continually.
7 Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
I am become as it were a wonder to many: but thou art [my] strong helper.
8 Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn thy glory, [and] thy majesty all the day.
9 Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
11 “Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver [him].
12 O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw nigh 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 that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.
14 A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
But I will hope continually, and will praise thee more and more.
15 Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, [and] thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs [of men].
16 Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness 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 until now will I declare thy wonders;
18 Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:
19 i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which thou has done: O God, who is like to thee?
20 Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti ćeš me opet oživiti i opet me podići iz dubine zemlje.
What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.
21 Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.
22 A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, [because of] thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to thee on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
My lips shall rejoice when I sing to 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.
Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
