Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

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

2 Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

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

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

4 In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

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

5 All the day long they wrest 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

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

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

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

8 Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

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

9 Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.

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

10 In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

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

11 In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

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

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

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

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

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