< Psalms 57 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
Smiluj se na me, Bože, smiluj se na me; jer se u tebe uzda duša moja, i pod sjen krila tvojih sklanjam se dok ne proðu nevolje.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
Prizivam Boga višnjega, Boga, koji mi dobro èini;
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
Da pošlje s neba i saèuva me, da posrami onoga koji traži da me proždre; da pošlje Bog milost svoju i istinu svoju.
4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Duša je moja meðu lavovima, ležim meðu onima koji dišu plamenom. Zubi su sinova ljudskih koplja i strijele, i njihov jezik maè oštar.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.
Uzvisi se više nebesa, Bože, po svoj zemlji neka bude slava tvoja!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
Metnuše zamku nogama mojima, i stegoše dušu moju, iskopaše preda mnom jamu, i sami padoše u nju.
7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Utvrdilo se srce moje, Bože, utvrdilo se srce moje; pjevaæu te i slaviæu.
8 Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. I will wake up the dawn.
Probudi se, slavo moja, probudi se, psaltire i gusle; ustaæu rano.
9 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Hvaliæu Gospoda po narodima, pjevaæu ti po plemenima.
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
Jer je velika do nebesa milost tvoja, i istina tvoja do oblaka.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Uzvisi se više nebesa, Bože, po svoj zemlji neka bude slava tvoja!
