Psalms 56

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.

Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, kajti človek me hoče požreti, borben je, dnevno me zatira.

2 Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.

Moji sovražniki me hočejo vsak dan požreti, kajti mnogo jih je, ki se borijo zoper mene, oh ti Najvišji.

3 When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.

Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

4 I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo, v Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi more storiti meso.

5 Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.

Vsak dan pačijo moje besede. Vse njihove misli so zoper mene za zlo.

6 They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.

Zbirajo se skupaj, skrivajo se, gledajo moje korake, ko čakajo na mojo dušo.

7 They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.

Ali bodo pobegnili s krivičnostjo? V svoji jezi potri ljudstva, oh Bog.

8 Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?

Ti pripoveduješ o mojih tavanjih. Moje solze si polagaš v svoj meh. Mar niso v tvoji knjigi?

9 When I cry, then mine enemies shall turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.

Ko kličem k tebi, potem se bodo moji sovražniki obrnili proč. To vem, kajti Bog je zame.

10 I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.

V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo. V Gospodu bom hvalil njegovo besedo.

11 In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.

V Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi lahko stori človek.

12 Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.

Tvoje zaobljube so nad menoj, oh Bog, povrnil ti bom hvalnice.

13 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.

Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo. Mar mojih stopal ne boš osvobodil pred padcem, da lahko hodim pred Bogom v svetlobi živih?
