< Psalms 7 >
1 A psalm (shiggaion) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, from the tribe of Benjamin. Lord my God, you are my protection. Save me from those who persecute me; please rescue me!
Pesem meševita Davidova, katero je pel Gospodu na besede Kusa Benjaminca. Gospod, Bog moj, k tebi pribegam; reši me vseh preganjalcev mojih in oprosti me.
2 Otherwise they will tear me apart like a lion, ripping me to pieces with no one to save me.
Da ne zgrabi kakor lev duše moje in raztrga, ko ni pomočnika.
3 If I have done what I'm accused of, if my hands are guilty,
Gospod, Bog moj, ako sem storil tisto, ako je krivica na rokah mojih:
4 If I have paid back a friend with evil, if I have robbed my enemy for no reason,
Ako sem storil hudo v miru živečemu z menoj, ki sem mu rad pomagal, kateri me je zatiral po krivem:
5 Then let my enemies chase me down; let them trample me in the dust and drag my reputation through the dirt. (Selah)
Preganja naj sovražnik dušo mojo in dohiti ter potepta na tleh življenje moje; in storí naj, da v prahu biva slava moja.
6 Stand up, Lord, in your anger, rise up against the fury of my enemies; wake up, Lord, and bring me justice!
Vstani, Gospod, v jezi svoji; dvigni se silno razkačen proti njim, ki me zatirajo; in čuj nad menoj, sodbo si zapovedal.
7 Bring together the nations before you; rule them from your throne on high.
Torej narodov zbor naj te obdá in nad njim vrni se v višavo.
8 The Lord judges all people. Defend me, Lord, because I do what is right, because of my integrity.
Gospod sodi ljudstva; sodi me, Gospod, po pravičnosti moji in po nedolžnosti moji razsodi zame.
9 Please bring an end to the evil done by the wicked; vindicate those who do good, for you are the God of right who examines hearts and minds.
Propade naj, prosim, zlo krivičnih, in pravičnega utrdi; kakor preiskuješ srca in obisti, Bog pravični.
10 The Most High God is my defense, the one who saves those who live right.
Ščit moj je v Bogu, ki daje blaginjo pravičnim v srci,
11 God is a fair judge who is always hostile to evil.
V Bogu, ki je pravičnemu bramba in Bogu mogočnem, ki se srdi vsak dan.
12 If people do not change their minds, he will sharpen his sword. He has bent and strung his bow.
Ako se ne izpreobrne krivični, nabrusi svoj meč; lok svoj je napél in pomeril vanj.
13 He has prepared weapons of death, he has his flaming arrows ready.
Pomeril je vanj smrtno orožje; pušice svoje zgrabi zoper divjajoče.
14 See how the wicked conceive evil! They are pregnant with trouble. They give birth to dishonesty.
Glej, rodil bode ničemurnost; kakor je spočel nadlogo, tako bode rodil laž.
15 They dig a deep hole to catch people, but then fall into it themselves.
Vodnjak je kopal in izglobal ga; vanj je planil, v jami opravljat delo svoje.
16 The trouble they cause rebounds to hit them on the head; their violence against others comes down on their own skulls.
Povrne se nadloga njegova na glavo njegovo in nad téme njegovo pride njegova krivica.
17 I will thank the Lord because he does what is right; I will sing praises to the name of the Lord Most High.
Slaviti hočem Gospoda po pravici njegovi in prepeval bodem imenu Gospoda najvišjega.
