Psalms 71
1 In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.
Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
2 Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.
Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
3 Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.
Bodi moje močno prebivališče, kamor se bom lahko nenehno zatekal. Dal si zapoved, da me rešiš, kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava.
4 O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
5 For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.
Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje od moje mladosti.
6 You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.
S teboj sem bil podpiran od maternice. Ti si tisti, ki me je vzel iz notranjosti moje matere. O tebi bo nenehno moja hvala.
7 I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.
Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
8 My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.
Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
9 Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.
Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
10 For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,
Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
11 Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.
rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.
Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
13 Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.
Naj bodo zbegani in uničeni tisti, ki so nasprotniki moji duši; naj bodo pokriti z grajo in nečastjo tisti, ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
14 But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.
Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
15 My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.
Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
16 I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
17 O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.
Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
18 Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.
Tudi sedaj, ko sem star in sivolas, oh Bog, me ne zapusti, dokler ne pokažem tvoje moči temu rodu in tvojo oblast vsakemu, ki bo prišel.
19 Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?
Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
20 You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.
Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
21 You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.
Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
22 I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.
Prav tako te bom hvalil s plunko, celó tvojo resnico, oh moj Bog. Tebi bom prepeval s harfo, oh ti, Sveti Izraelov.
23 Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.
Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
24 My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
