Psalms 57
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, For my soul is trusting in You, And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, Until the calamities pass over.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu. Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.
2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
3 He sends from the heavens, and saves me, He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. (Selah) God sends forth His kindness and His truth.
Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
4 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory above all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps, My soul has bowed down, They have dug a pit before me, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
7 My heart is prepared, O God, My heart is prepared, I sing and praise.
Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
8 Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
9 I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
10 For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
