Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
Usliši iskrenega, oh Gospod, bodi pozoren na moj klic, pazljivo prisluhni moji molitvi, ki ne prihaja iz hlinjenih ustnic.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
Naj moja razsodba pride iz tvoje prisotnosti, naj tvoje oči gledajo stvari, ki so pravične.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Preizkusil si moje srce, obiskal si me ponoči, preizkusil si me, pa ničesar nisi našel; odločen sem, da moja usta ne bodo grešila.
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
Kar se tiče človeških del, sem se po besedi tvojih ustnic varoval pred stezami uničevalca.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
Podpiraj mojo smer življenja po tvojih stezah, da moje stopinje ne zdrsnejo.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
Klical sem k tebi, kajti uslišal me boš, oh Bog. Nagni k meni svoje uho in usliši moj govor.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Pokaži svojo čudovito ljubečo skrbnost, oh ti, ki s svojo desnico rešuješ tiste, ki svoje trdno upanje polagajo vate pred tistimi, ki se vzdigujejo proti njim.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
Varuj me kakor zenico očesa, skrij me pod senco svojih peruti,
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
pred zlobnimi, ki me zatirajo, pred mojimi smrtnimi sovražniki, ki me obdajajo naokrog.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Zajeti so v svojo lastno maščobo. S svojimi usti govorijo ponosno.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Sedaj so nas obdali na naših korakih. Svoje oči so naravnali in pripognili k zemlji,
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
kakor lev, ki je pohlepen po svojem plenu in kakor bi bil mlad lev, ki preži na skrivnih krajih.
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
Vzdigni se, oh Gospod, razočaraj ga, vrzi ga dol. Osvobodi mojo dušo pred zlobnim, kar je tvoj meč,
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
pred ljudmi, ki so tvoja roka, oh Gospod, pred ljudmi sveta, ki imajo svoj delež v tem življenju in katerih trebuh napolnjuješ s svojim skritim zakladom. Polni so otrok in preostanek svojega imetja zapustijo svojim otročičem.
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
Kar se mene tiče, bom v pravičnosti gledal tvoj obraz. Ko se zbudim, bom nasičen s tvojo podobnostjo.
