Psalms 59
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je Šaul opkolio kuću da ubije Davida. Izbavi me od dušmana, Bože moj, zaštiti me od mojih protivnika!
2 Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
3 See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
4 Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
5 You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
6 In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
7 See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
8 But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
9 You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
10 In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
11 Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
12 Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
13 Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
14 In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
15 They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're not satisfied.
Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
16 But I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
A ja ću opjevati silu tvoju i klicat ću jutrom milosrđu tvome, jer mi ti postade utočište i sklonište u dan nevolje.
17 You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
