Psalms 56

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.

Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, kajti človek me hoče požreti, borben je, dnevno me zatira.

2 My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.

Moji sovražniki me hočejo vsak dan požreti, kajti mnogo jih je, ki se borijo zoper mene, oh ti Najvišji.

3 In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.

Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

4 In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo, v Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi more storiti meso.

5 Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

Vsak dan pačijo moje besede. Vse njihove misli so zoper mene za zlo.

6 They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.

Zbirajo se skupaj, skrivajo se, gledajo moje korake, ko čakajo na mojo dušo.

7 By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

Ali bodo pobegnili s krivičnostjo? V svoji jezi potri ljudstva, oh Bog.

8 You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?

Ti pripoveduješ o mojih tavanjih. Moje solze si polagaš v svoj meh. Mar niso v tvoji knjigi?

9 When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

Ko kličem k tebi, potem se bodo moji sovražniki obrnili proč. To vem, kajti Bog je zame.

10 In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.

V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo. V Gospodu bom hvalil njegovo besedo.

11 In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.

V Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi lahko stori človek.

12 I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

Tvoje zaobljube so nad menoj, oh Bog, povrnil ti bom hvalnice.

13 Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.

Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo. Mar mojih stopal ne boš osvobodil pred padcem, da lahko hodim pred Bogom v svetlobi živih?
