Psalms 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je Šaul opkolio kuću da ubije Davida. Izbavi me od dušmana, Bože moj, zaštiti me od mojih protivnika!
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault. Awake thou to help me, and behold.
bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
5 Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations. Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
6 They return at evening. They howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, for they say, Who hears?
Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
8 But thou, O Jehovah, will laugh at them. Thou will have all the nations in derision.
No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
9 O my strength, I will give heed to thee, for God is my high tower.
Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
10 My God with his loving kindness will meet me. God will let me look upon my enemies.
Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
11 Kill them not, lest my people forget. Scatter them by thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield,
Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
12 for the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips. Let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more. And let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
14 And at evening let them return, let them howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.
Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
16 But I will sing of thy strength. Yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving kindness in the morning. For thou have been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
A ja ću opjevati silu tvoju i klicat ću jutrom milosrđu tvome, jer mi ti postade utočište i sklonište u dan nevolje.
17 To thee, O my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
