Psalms 57
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time he fled from Saul and hid in the cave. Please be kind to me, God! Be kind to me because I come to you for protection. I will shelter under the shadow of your wings until the danger is past.
Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, bodi mi usmiljen, kajti moja duša zaupa vate. Da, v senci tvojih peruti si bom pripravil svoje zatočišče, dokler te katastrofe ne bodo minile.
2 I cry out for help to God Most High, to God who vindicates me.
Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
3 From heaven he sends his help, and he saves me. He defeats those who persecute me. (Selah) God sends me his unfailing love, showing he is completely trustworthy.
Poslal bo z neba in me rešil pred grajo tistega, ki me hoče požreti. (Sela) Bog bo poslal svoje usmiljenje in svojo resnico.
4 I am surrounded by man-eating lions—I am forced to live with them! Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues are swords.
Moja duša je med levi in ležim celó med tistimi, ki so vneti z ognjem, celó človeškimi sinovi, katerih zobje so sulice in puščice ter njihov jezik oster meč.
5 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo, naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
6 They set a trap to catch me. I was so depressed. They dug a pit on my path but they were the ones who fell into it. (Selah)
Pripravili so mrežo za moje korake, moja duša je sklonjena. Zame so pred menoj izkopali jamo in v katere sredo so sami padli. (Sela)
7 I have confidence in you, God, I have confidence in you. I will sing songs of praise to you.
Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
8 I say to myself, “Wake up!” Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
Zbudi se kvišku, moja slava, zbudita se plunka in harfa. Jaz sam se bom prebudil zgodaj.
9 I will thank you among the peoples, Lord; I will sing your praises among the nations.
Hvalil te bom, oh Gospod, med ljudstvom, prepeval ti bom med narodi.
10 Your faithful love reaches to the heavens; your trustworthiness to the clouds.
Kajti tvoje usmiljenje je veliko do neba in tvoja resnica do oblakov.
11 God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
