Psalms 17
1 A Prayer. Of David. Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.
Usliši, Gospode, pravdu, èuj glas moj, primi u uši molitvu moju ne iz usta lažljivijeh.
2 Be my judge; for your eyes see what is right.
Od lica tvojega neka izaðe sud moj, oèi tvoje neka pogledaju na pravicu.
3 You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.
Ispitaj srce moje, obidi noæu; u ognju me okušaj, i neæeš naæi nepravde moje.
4 As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
Usta se moja ne dohvataju djela ljudskih; radi rijeèi usta tvojih držim se putova oštrih.
5 I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.
Utvrdi stope moje na stazama svojim da ne zalaze koraci moji.
6 My cry has gone up to you, for you will give me an answer, O God: let your ear be turned to me, and give attention to my words.
Tebe prizivljem, jer æeš me uslišiti, Bože! prigni k meni uho svoje, i èuj rijeèi moje.
7 Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.
Pokaži divnu milost svoju, koji izbavljaš one koji se u te uzdaju od onijeh koji se protive desnici tvojoj.
8 Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,
Èuvaj me kao zjenicu oka: sjenom krila svojih zakloni me
9 From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.
Od bezbožnika koji na me napadaju, od neprijatelja duše moje, koji su me opkolili.
10 They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.
Srce svoje zatvoriše; ustima svojim govore oholo.
11 They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;
Izagnavši me opet su oko mene; oèi su svoje uprli da me obore na zemlju.
12 Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.
Oni su kao lav koji hoæe da rastrže, i kao laviæ koji sjedi u potaji.
13 Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.
Ustani, Gospode, preteci ih, obori ih. Odbrani dušu moju maèem svojim od bezbožnika,
14 With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.
Rukom svojom, Gospode, od ljudi ovijeh, od ljudi ovoga svijeta, kojima je dio ovaj život, kojima si trbuh napunio svoga bogatstva, da æe im i sinovi biti siti i ostatak ostaviti svojoj djeci.
15 As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.
A ja æu u pravdi gledati lice tvoje; kad se probudim, biæu sit od prilike tvoje.
