Psalmi 71
1 Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
2 U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your 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 rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
7 Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8 Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honour all day long.
9 Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11 “Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13 Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
15 Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
16 Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of 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. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
19 i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. 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 shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
Increase my honour and comfort me again.
22 A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
24 I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
