Psalms 57
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu. Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. (Selah) God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
4 My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
6 They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it!
Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
8 Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
10 For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
