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 you: and in the shadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, bodi mi usmiljen, kajti moja duša zaupa vate. Da, v senci tvojih peruti si bom pripravil svoje zatočišče, dokler te katastrofe ne bodo minile.
2 I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefitted me. (Pause)
Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
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;
Poslal bo z neba in me rešil pred grajo tistega, ki me hoče požreti. (Sela) Bog bo poslal svoje usmiljenje in svojo resnico.
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.
Moja duša je med levi in ležim celó med tistimi, ki so vneti z ognjem, celó človeškimi sinovi, katerih zobje so sulice in puščice ter njihov jezik oster meč.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo, naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
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)
Pripravili so mrežo za moje korake, moja duša je sklonjena. Zame so pred menoj izkopali jamo in v katere sredo so sami padli. (Sela)
7 My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms.
Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.
Zbudi se kvišku, moja slava, zbudita se plunka in harfa. Jaz sam se bom prebudil zgodaj.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to you amongst the nations: I will sing to you amongst the Gentiles.
Hvalil te bom, oh Gospod, med ljudstvom, prepeval ti bom med narodi.
10 For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
Kajti tvoje usmiljenje je veliko do neba in tvoja resnica do oblakov.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
