Psalms 71
1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.
Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
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 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje od moje mladosti.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
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 have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.
Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
10 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,
Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.
Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
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 as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.
Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:
Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is 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 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;
Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou 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 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
