< Psalms 57 >
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi", Davidova pesem odlična, ko je bežal pred Savlom v brlog. Milosten mi bodi, Bog, milosten mi bodi; ker k tebi je pribežala duša moja, in v senco peroti tvojih hočem pribežati, dokler ne minejo težave.
2 I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
Klical bodem Boga najvišjega, mogočnega, ki zvršuje za me.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; (Selah) God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
Poslal bode z nebes rešit me, osramotil bode njega, ki me rohneč preganja silovito. Poslal bode Bog milost svojo in resnico svojo.
4 My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Jaz sem med levi groznimi, med požigalci ležim, med ljudmi, katerih zobje so sulice in pušice, in jezik njih je oster meč.
5 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog; nad vso zemljo v slavi svoji.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. (Selah)
Mrežo so bili nastavili stopinjam mojim; potlačil je bil dušo mojo; jamo so bili skopali pred menoj, vanjo padajo silno.
7 My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
S povzdignenim srcem svojim, o Bog, s povzdignenim srcem bodem pel in prepeval:
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
Vstani, slava moja, vstanite brenklje in strune, budil bodem sè zarijo;
9 I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
Slavil te bodem med ljudstvi, Gospod; prepeval med narodi;
10 For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
Velika je do nebés milost tvoja, in noter do gornjih oblakov resnica tvoja.
11 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
Povišaj se nad nebesa, o Bog; nad vso zemljo v slavi svoji.
