Psalms 31
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.
Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje; naj ne bom nikoli osramočen, osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti.
2 Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.
Nagni k meni svoje uho, naglo me osvobodi. Bodi moja čvrsta skala, za hišo obrambe, da me rešiš.
3 For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.
Kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava, zato me vôdi zaradi svojega imena in me usmerjaj.
4 Take me out of the net which they have put ready for me secretly; for you are my strength.
Potegni me iz mreže, ki so jo na skrivnem položili zame, kajti ti si moja moč.
5 Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.
V tvojo roko izročam svojega duha. Odkupil si me, oh Gospod, Bog resnice.
6 I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.
Sovražil sem tiste, ki se ozirajo za lažnivimi ničevostmi, toda jaz zaupam v Gospoda.
7 I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;
Vesel bom in se radoval v tvojem usmiljenju, kajti preudaril si mojo težavo, v stiskah si spoznal mojo dušo
8 And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.
in me nisi zaprl v roko mojega sovražnika. Moja stopala si postavil na velik prostor.
9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.
Usmili se me, oh Gospod, kajti v stiski sem. Moje oko je použito z žalostjo, da, moja duša in moj trebuh.
10 My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.
Kajti moje življenje je iztrošeno z žalostjo in moja leta z vzdihovanjem. Moja moč slabi zaradi moje krivičnosti in moje kosti so použite.
11 Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.
Bil sem graja med vsemi svojimi sovražniki, toda še posebej med svojimi bližnjimi in strah svojim znancem. Tisti, ki so me videli zunaj, so pobegnili pred menoj.
12 I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.
Pozabljen sem, kakor je mrtev človek hitro pozabljen iz uma. Podoben sem razbiti posodi.
13 False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
Kajti slišal sem obrekovanje mnogih. Strah je bil na vsaki strani. Medtem ko so se skupaj posvetovali zoper mene, so snovali, da vzamejo moje življenje.
14 But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
Toda jaz sem zaupal vate, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moj Bog.«
15 The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.
Moji časi so v tvoji roki. Osvobodi me pred roko mojih sovražnikov in pred tistimi, ki me preganjajo.
16 Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
Stôri, da tvoj obraz zasije nad tvojim služabnikom. Reši me zaradi svojega usmiljenja.
17 Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
Naj ne bom osramočen, oh Gospod, kajti klical sem k tebi. Naj bodo zlobni osramočeni in naj bodo molče v grobu. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
Naj bodo utišane lažnive ustnice, ki ponosno in zaničljivo govorijo boleče stvari zoper pravičnega.
19 O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!
O, kako velika je tvoja dobrota, ki si jo prihranil za tiste, ki se te bojijo, ki si jo izvršil tistim, ki zaupajo vate pred človeškimi sinovi!
20 You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.
Pred ponosom ljudi jih boš skril v zatišju svoje prisotnosti. Pred prepirom jezikov jih boš skrivaj varoval v paviljonu.
21 May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, kajti pokazal mi je svojo čudovito prijaznost v utrjenem mestu.
22 And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.
Kajti v svoji naglici sem rekel: »Iztrebljen sem izpred tvojih oči.« Vendar si slišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko sem klical k tebi.
23 O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.
Oh ljubite Gospoda, vsi vi njegovi sveti, kajti Gospod ohranja zveste in obilno nagrajuje tistega, ki ravna ponosno.
24 Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.
Bodite odločnega poguma in vaša srca bo okrepil vsem vam, ki upate v Gospoda.
