< Psalms 7 >
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:
Pesem meševita Davidova, katero je pel Gospodu na besede Kusa Benjaminca. Gospod, Bog moj, k tebi pribegam; reši me vseh preganjalcev mojih in oprosti me.
2 lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
Da ne zgrabi kakor lev duše moje in raztrga, ko ni pomočnika.
3 O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:
Gospod, Bog moj, ako sem storil tisto, ako je krivica na rokah mojih:
4 if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
Ako sem storil hudo v miru živečemu z menoj, ki sem mu rad pomagal, kateri me je zatiral po krivem:
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. (Pause)
Preganja naj sovražnik dušo mojo in dohiti ter potepta na tleh življenje moje; in storí naj, da v prahu biva slava moja.
6 Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,
Vstani, Gospod, v jezi svoji; dvigni se silno razkačen proti njim, ki me zatirajo; in čuj nad menoj, sodbo si zapovedal.
7 and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.
Torej narodov zbor naj te obdá in nad njim vrni se v višavo.
8 The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.
Gospod sodi ljudstva; sodi me, Gospod, po pravičnosti moji in po nedolžnosti moji razsodi zame.
9 The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
Propade naj, prosim, zlo krivičnih, in pravičnega utrdi; kakor preiskuješ srca in obisti, Bog pravični.
10 Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.
Ščit moj je v Bogu, ki daje blaginjo pravičnim v srci,
11 God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?
V Bogu, ki je pravičnemu bramba in Bogu mogočnem, ki se srdi vsak dan.
12 Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.
Ako se ne izpreobrne krivični, nabrusi svoj meč; lok svoj je napél in pomeril vanj.
13 And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
Pomeril je vanj smrtno orožje; pušice svoje zgrabi zoper divjajoče.
14 Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
Glej, rodil bode ničemurnost; kakor je spočel nadlogo, tako bode rodil laž.
15 He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
Vodnjak je kopal in izglobal ga; vanj je planil, v jami opravljat delo svoje.
16 His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.
Povrne se nadloga njegova na glavo njegovo in nad téme njegovo pride njegova krivica.
17 I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
Slaviti hočem Gospoda po pravici njegovi in prepeval bodem imenu Gospoda najvišjega.
