Psalms 56

1 For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.

Zborovođi. Prema napjevu “Golubica nijema u daljini”. Davidov. Miktam. Kad su ga u Gatu uhitili Filistejci. Smiluj mi se, moj Bože, jer me dušmanin hoće zgaziti, napadač me moj neprestano tlači.

2 They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

Dušmani moji nasrću na me povazdan, mnogo ih je koji se na me obaraju. Svevišnji,

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.

kad me strah spopadne, u te ću se uzdati.

4 In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

Božje obećanje slavim, u Boga ja se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti smrtnik?

5 All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

Od jutra do večeri obružuju me, svi naumi njihovi meni su na zlo.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

Sastaju se i vrebaju, paze mi na korake, o glavi mi rade.

7 Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.

Plati im prema bezakonju, u gnjevu, o Bože, obori pogane!

8 Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?

Ti izbroji dane mog progonstva, sabrao si suze moje u mijehu svom. Nije li sve zapisano u knjizi tvojoj?

9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.

Moji će dušmani uzmaknuti čim te zazovem. Ovo sigurno znam: Bog je za mene!

10 In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —

Božje obećanje slavim,

11 In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

u Jahvu se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti čovjek?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.

Vežu me zavjeti koje učinih tebi, o Bože: prinijet ću ti žrtve zahvalne

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

jer si mi dušu od smrti spasio. Ti si očuvao noge moje od pada, da pred Bogom hodim u svjetlosti živih.
