< Psalms 57 >
1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
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 will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
Prizivam Boga višnjega, Boga, koji mi dobro èini;
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me, [when] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy 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 them that 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 thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy 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; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. (Selah)
Metnuše zamku nogama mojima, i stegoše dušu moju, iskopaše preda mnom jamu, i sami padoše u nju.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
Utvrdilo se srce moje, Bože, utvrdilo se srce moje; pjevaæu te i slaviæu.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
Probudi se, slavo moja, probudi se, psaltire i gusle; ustaæu rano.
9 I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Hvaliæu Gospoda po narodima, pjevaæu ti po plemenima.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.
Jer je velika do nebesa milost tvoja, i istina tvoja do oblaka.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
Uzvisi se više nebesa, Bože, po svoj zemlji neka bude slava tvoja!
