Psalms 57
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
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 will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. (Pause)
Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
3 He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions']whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
6 They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. (Pause)
Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
7 My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.
Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.
Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.
Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
10 For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
