Psalms 56

1 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

Načelniku godbe, o duši, ki silo trpi od tujcev krdela, odlična pesem Davidova, ko so ga prijeli Filistejci v Gatu. Milosten mi bodi, Bog, ker rohneč me preganja človek, ves dan me stiska oblegovatelj.

2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long: for they be many that fight proudly against me.

Rohné zalezovalci moji vés dan, ker mnogo jih je; z višave naj mi pomagajo borilci.

3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

Ko se bodem bal, zaupal bodem v tebe.

4 In God I will praise his word: in God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo njegovo; v Boga bodem zaupal, ne bodem se bal: Kaj naj bi mi storilo meso?

5 All the day long they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

Ves dan žalijo mojo stvar; zoper mene merijo vse njih misli v hudo.

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

Zbirajo, skrivajo se oni; na moj sled prežé, kakor ki iščejo življenje moje.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Poleg krivičnosti jim stóri, v jezi pahni ljudstva, Bog.

8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?

Ti imaš sešteto tavanje moje; v meh svoj deni vsako solzo mojo, ali bi jih ne imel seštetih?

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

Tedaj se povrnejo sovražniki moji nazaj; tisti dan, ko bodem vpil: To vém, da mi bode Bog na strani.

10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo, v Gospodu hvalil besedo.

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

V Boga zaupam, ne bodem se bal; kaj bi mi storil človek?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank offerings unto thee.

Z menoj bodejo, o Bog, obljube tvoje; zahvaljeval se bodem tebi.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Ker dušo mojo otimaš smrti; ali bi ne rešil nóg mojih padca? da neprestano hodim pred Bogom v tega življenja luči.
