Psalms 55
1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David. God, please hear my prayer; don't ignore my cry for help!
Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:
2 Please listen, and give me an answer. I'm terribly troubled by my problems! I'm frantic!
obazri se na me i usliši me! Mučim se u svojoj tjeskobi,
3 For my enemies are screaming at me; the wicked are intimidating me. They rain down suffering on me, angrily assaulting me in their hatred.
zbuni me vika dušmanska i tlačenje grešničko. Navališe na me nesrećom, bijesno me progone.
4 My heart thumps in agony! Terrified, I feel I'm about to die!
Srce mi je ustreptalo i strah me samrtni spopade.
5 I'm in a panic, trembling with fear; feelings of horror wash over me.
Užas me i trepet hvata, groza me obuze.
6 I tell myself, If only God would give me wings like a dove so I could fly away and be at peace!
Zavapih: “O, da su mi krila golubinja, odletio bih da otpočinem!
7 I would fly far away to escape, and stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
Daleko, daleko bih letio, u pustinji se nastanio;
8 I would hurry to a place to hide, out of the wind, safe from the raging storm.
brzo bih si potražio sklonište od bijesne oluje i vihora.”
9 Confuse them, Lord! Muddle what they're saying, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
Smeti ih, Gospode, podvoji im jezike, jer nasilje i svađu vidim u gradu;
10 They patrol the city walls day and night, and wickedness and trouble are within the city.
danju i noću zidinama kruže; bezakonja su i nevolje u njemu.
11 The ones causing destruction are inside the city; frauds and cheats are always on the streets.
Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.
12 The problem is that it's not an enemy who mocks me—I could stand that. It's not someone who hates me who insults me—I could avoid them.
Da me pogrdio dušmanin, bio bih podnio; da se digao na me koji me mrzi, pred njim bih se sakrio.
13 No, it's you, a man just like me, my best friend who I know so well!
Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik
14 Our friendship was so close. We used to have great talks together as we walked with everyone to the house of God.
s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.
15 May death come quickly to them; may they go down into the grave alive, because evil finds its home in them. (Sheol h7585)
Smrt neka ih zaskoči, živi nek' siđu u Podzemlje jer im je pakost u stanu i srcu. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I cry out to God, and the Lord will save me.
A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.
17 I weep and groan morning, noon, and night, and he listens to me.
Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.
18 He rescues me, keeping me safe and sound from my attackers, because there are so many against me.
Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.
19 God who has ruled from the beginning will hear me and answer them. (Selah) For they refuse to change and don't respect God.
Bog će čuti i njih poniziti, Onaj koji kraljuje odvijeka, jer se ne popravljaju, Boga se ne boje.
20 As for my best friend, he attacked his friends who had no quarrel with him; he broke the promises he had made to them.
Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.
21 What he says is as smooth as butter, but inside he plans war; his words are as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.
Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.
22 Throw your burdens onto the Lord and he will take care of you. He will never allow those who live right to fall.
Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.
23 But you, God, will bring down murderers and liars, throwing them into the pit of destruction before they have even lived half their lives. As for me, I will trust in you.
A njih ti, o Bože, strmoglavi u jamu grobnu! Krvoloci i varalice ni polovicu dana neće doživjeti! A ja se u tebe uzdam!
