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.

Načelniku godbe, o duši, ki silo trpi od tujcev krdela, odlična pesem Davidova, ko so ga prijeli Filistejci v Gatu. Milosten mi bodi, Bog, ker rohneč me preganja človek, ves dan me stiska oblegovatelj.

2 My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.

Rohné zalezovalci moji vés dan, ker mnogo jih je; z višave naj mi pomagajo borilci.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

Ko se bodem bal, zaupal bodem v tebe.

4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo njegovo; v Boga bodem zaupal, ne bodem se bal: Kaj naj bi mi storilo meso?

5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

Ves dan žalijo mojo stvar; zoper mene merijo vse njih misli v hudo.

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

Zbirajo, skrivajo se oni; na moj sled prežé, kakor ki iščejo življenje moje.

7 In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.

Poleg krivičnosti jim stóri, v jezi pahni ljudstva, Bog.

8 You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle— are they not in Your book?

Ti imaš sešteto tavanje moje; v meh svoj deni vsako solzo mojo, ali bi jih ne imel seštetih?

9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

Tedaj se povrnejo sovražniki moji nazaj; tisti dan, ko bodem vpil: To vém, da mi bode Bog na strani.

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo, v Gospodu hvalil besedo.

11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

V Boga zaupam, ne bodem se bal; kaj bi mi storil človek?

12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

Z menoj bodejo, o Bog, obljube tvoje; zahvaljeval se bodem tebi.

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.

Ker dušo mojo otimaš smrti; ali bi ne rešil nóg mojih padca? da neprestano hodim pred Bogom v tega življenja luči.
