< Psalms 56 >

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.
Smiluj se na me, Bože, jer èovjek hoæe da me proguta, neprijatelj me svaki dan pritješnjuje.
2 My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.
Neprijatelji moji svaki dan traže da me progutaju; jer mnogi napadaju na me oholo.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
Kad me je strah, ja se u tebe uzdam.
4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Bogom se hvalim za rijeè njegovu; u Boga se uzdam, ne bojim se; šta æe mi uèiniti tijelo?
5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.
Svaki dan izvræu rijeèi moje; što god misle, sve meni o zlu.
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
Skupljaju se, prikrivaju se, paze za petama mojima; jer traže dušu moju.
7 In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
Kod ovake zloæe izbavi od njih, u gnjevu obori narode, Bože.
8 You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle— are they not in Your book?
U tebe je izbrojeno moje potucanje, suze se moje èuvaju u sudu kod tebe, one su u knjizi tvojoj.
9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.
Neprijatelji moji ustupaju natrag, kad tebe prizivljem; po tom znam da je Bog sa mnom.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
Bogom se hvalim za rijeè njegovu, Gospodom se hvalim za rijeè njegovu.
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
U Boga se uzdam, ne bojim se; šta æe mi uèiniti èovjek?
12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
Tebi sam se, Bože, zavjetovao; tebe æu hvaliti;
13 For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Jer si izbavio dušu moju od smrti, noge moje od spoticanja, da bih hodio pred licem Božjim, u svjetlosti živijeh.
