Psalms 31
1 A psalm of David. For the music director. Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't let me ever be humiliated. Save me, because you always do what is right.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Tebi se, Jahve, utječem, o, da se ne postidim nikada: u svojoj me pravdi izbavi!
2 Please listen to me, and be quick to rescue me. Be my rock of protection, my strong fortress of safety.
Prikloni k meni uho svoje, pohiti da me oslobodiš! Budi mi hrid zaštite, tvrđava spasenja.
3 You are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your reputation, please lead me and guide me.
Jer ti si hrid moja, tvđava moja, radi svoga imena vodi me i ravnaj.
4 Help me escape from the hidden net that they set to trap me, for you are the one who protects me.
Izvuci me iz mreže koju mi zapeše, jer ti si moje utočište.
5 I put myself in your hands. Save me, Lord, for you are a trustworthy God.
U tvoje ruke duh svoj predajem: otkupi me, Jahve, Bože vjerni.
6 I hate those who devote themselves to pointless idols; I trust in the Lord.
Ti mrziš one koji štuju ništavne kumire, a ja se u Jahvu uzdam.
7 I will celebrate, happy in your love that never fails, for you have seen the problems I face and have paid attention to my troubles.
Radosno ću klicat' tvojoj milosti, jer si na moju bijedu pogledao, pomogao u tjeskobi duši mojoj.
8 You haven't handed me over to my enemies; you have set me free.
Nisi me predao u ruke dušmana, noge si mi na prostran put izveo.
9 Be kind to me Lord, for I am upset. I can hardly see from so much crying. I am completely wasting away.
Smiluj mi se, Jahve, jer sam u tjeskobi, od jada slabi mi oko, duša i tijelo.
10 Grief is killing me; my life is cut short by sadness; I am falling apart because of my troubles; I am worn to the bone.
Život mi se troši u gorčini, ljeta moja u jecanju. U muci mi se iscrpila snaga i kosti su moje klonule.
11 I am ridiculed by my enemies, particularly by my neighbors. My friends dread meeting me; people who see me in the street run the other way.
Dušmanima svojim postao sam ruglo, susjedima podsmijeh, a znancima strašilo; koji me vide vani, bježe od mene.
12 I have been forgotten as if I were dead; I'm ignored like a broken pot.
Nestalo me k'o mrtvaca iz sjećanja ljudi, postadoh k'o razbijena posuda.
13 I hear many people whispering about me; terror surrounds me. They plot together against me, planning to kill me.
Čujem šaputanje mnogih, užas odasvud: sastaju se protiv mene i smišljaju kako da mi život oduzmu.
14 But I put my trust in you, Lord, saying, “You are my God!”
A ja se, Jahve, u tebe uzdam; govorim: Ti si Bog moj!
15 My whole life is in your hands! Save me from those who hate me and persecute me!
U tvojoj je ruci sudbina moja: istrgni me iz ruke dušmana i onih koji me progone!
16 May you look kindly on me, your servant. Save me because of your trustworthy love.
Rasvijetli lice nad slugom svojim, po svojoj me dobroti spasi.
17 Lord, don't let me be disgraced, for I'm calling out to you. Instead let the wicked be disgraced, let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Jahve, ne bilo me stid što tebe zazvah! Neka se postide zlotvori, nek' u Podzemlju zamuknu. (Sheol h7585)
18 Shut the mouths of those who tell lies against good people—those who speak contemptuously in their pride and arrogance!
Nek' zanijeme usne lažljive koje protiv pravednika govore drsko, oholo i prezirno.
19 How wonderful is the goodness you have reserved for those who honor you! In front of everyone you give this goodness to those who come to you for help.
O, kako je velika, Jahve, tvoja dobrota, koju čuvaš za one koji te se boje, koju iskazuješ onima što se tebi utječu naočigled sinovima čovječjim.
20 You shelter and protect them with your presence, far from their enemies who scheme against them. You keep them safe from attacks and accusations.
Zaklanjaš ih štitom lica svoga od zavjera ljudskih; u šatoru svom ih skrivaš od jezika svadljivih.
21 Bless the Lord, for he has shown me his wonderful trustworthy love when my city was being attacked
Blagoslovljen Jahve jer me obasu čudesnom dobrotom u gradu tvrdom.
22 Terrified I cried out, “I am being destroyed right in front of you!” But you heard my cry when I called out for you to help me.
U tjeskobi svojoj već mišljah: “Odbačen sam od pogleda tvoga.” Ali ti si čuo glas mog zaziva dok sam tebi vapio.
23 Love the Lord, all you who trust in him! The Lord takes care of those who trust him, but he pays back in full those who are arrogant.
Ljubite Jahvu, svi sveti njegovi: čuva Jahve svoje vjernike, a po zasluzi vraća onima koji postupaju oholo.
24 Be strong and be confident, all you who put your hope in the Lord.
Budite hrabri i jaka srca, svi koji se u Jahvu uzdate!
