Psalms 57
1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave. Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu. Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.
2 I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
3 He will send out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. (Selah) God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
4 My soul, is in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.
Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
5 Be exalted Above the Heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
6 A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, —They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! (Selah)
Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
7 Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
8 Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
9 I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
10 For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
11 Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
