Psalms 59
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN SAUL’S SENDING, AND THEY WATCH THE HOUSE TO PUT HIM TO DEATH. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God, Set me on high from my withstanders.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je Šaul opkolio kuću da ubije Davida. Izbavi me od dušmana, Bože moj, zaštiti me od mojih protivnika!
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood.
Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
3 For behold, they laid wait for my soul, Strong ones are assembled against me, Not my transgression nor my sin, O YHWH.
Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
4 Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
5 And You, YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Do not favor any treacherous dealers of iniquity. (Selah)
Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
6 They return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go around the city.
Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for “Who hears?”
Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
8 And You, O YHWH, laugh at them, You mock at all the nations.
No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
9 O my Strength, to You I take heed, For God [is] my tower—the God of my kindness.
Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
10 God goes before me, He causes me to look on my enemies.
Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Shake them by Your strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
12 The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And they recount from the curse and lying.
Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
13 Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
14 And they return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go around the city.
Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
15 They wander for food, If they are not satisfied—then they murmur.
Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
16 And I sing of Your strength, And at morning I sing of Your kindness, For You have been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
A ja ću opjevati silu tvoju i klicat ću jutrom milosrđu tvome, jer mi ti postade utočište i sklonište u dan nevolje.
17 O my Strength, I sing praise to You, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
