Psalms 56

1 Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

Načelniku godbe, o duši, ki silo trpi od tujcev krdela, odlična pesem Davidova, ko so ga prijeli Filistejci v Gatu. Milosten mi bodi, Bog, ker rohneč me preganja človek, ves dan me stiska oblegovatelj.

2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

Rohné zalezovalci moji vés dan, ker mnogo jih je; z višave naj mi pomagajo borilci.

3 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

Ko se bodem bal, zaupal bodem v tebe.

4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo njegovo; v Boga bodem zaupal, ne bodem se bal: Kaj naj bi mi storilo meso?

5 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

Ves dan žalijo mojo stvar; zoper mene merijo vse njih misli v hudo.

6 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

Zbirajo, skrivajo se oni; na moj sled prežé, kakor ki iščejo življenje moje.

7 For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,

Poleg krivičnosti jim stóri, v jezi pahni ljudstva, Bog.

8 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

Ti imaš sešteto tavanje moje; v meh svoj deni vsako solzo mojo, ali bi jih ne imel seštetih?

9 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

Tedaj se povrnejo sovražniki moji nazaj; tisti dan, ko bodem vpil: To vém, da mi bode Bog na strani.

10 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo, v Gospodu hvalil besedo.

11 In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.

V Boga zaupam, ne bodem se bal; kaj bi mi storil človek?

12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

Z menoj bodejo, o Bog, obljube tvoje; zahvaljeval se bodem tebi.

13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.

Ker dušo mojo otimaš smrti; ali bi ne rešil nóg mojih padca? da neprestano hodim pred Bogom v tega življenja luči.
