Psalms 56

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter 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 adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.

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

3 What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.

Ko se bodem bal, zaupal bodem v tebe.

4 In God, I will praise his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, 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, they wrest, my words, Against me, all their devices are for mischief;

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

6 They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.

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

7 Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.

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

8 My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?

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

9 Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!

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 with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;

V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo, v Gospodu hvalil besedo.

11 In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!

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

12 Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.

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

13 For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

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