Psalms 57
1 God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
Смилуј се на ме, Боже, смилуј се на ме; јер се у Тебе узда душа моја, и под сен крила Твојих склањам се док не прођу невоље.
2 God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
Призивам Бога Вишњег, Бога, који ми добро чини;
3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
Да пошаље с неба и сачува ме, да посрами оног који тражи да ме прождре; да пошаље Бог милост своју и истину своју.
4 [Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
Душа је моја међу лавовима, лежим међу онима који дишу пламеном. Зуби су синова људских копља и стреле, и њихов језик мач оштар.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
Узвиси се више небеса, Боже, по свој земљи нека буде слава Твоја!
6 [It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
Метнуше замку ногама мојим, и стегоше душу моју, ископаше преда мном јаму, и сами падоше у њу.
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Утврдило се срце моје, Боже, утврдило се срце моје; певаћу Те и славићу.
8 I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
Пробуди се, славо моја, пробуди се, псалтире и гусле; устаћу рано.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Хвалићу Господа по народима, певаћу Ти по племенима.
10 because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
Јер је велика до небеса милост Твоја, и истина Твоја до облака.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Узвиси се више небеса, Боже, по свој земљи нека буде слава Твоја!
