Psalmi 71
1 Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
2 U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3 Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
Be a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
4 Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
6 Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
7 Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
8 Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
9 Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
10 Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching 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, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
12 O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
15 Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Bože, ti mi bijaše učitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam čudesa tvoja.
God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
18 Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
19 i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because 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.
Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
21 Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
22 A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
24 I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
