< Psalms 31 >
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje; naj ne bom nikoli osramočen, osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti.
2 Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
Nagni k meni svoje uho, naglo me osvobodi. Bodi moja čvrsta skala, za hišo obrambe, da me rešiš.
3 For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava, zato me vôdi zaradi svojega imena in me usmerjaj.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou [art] my strength.
Potegni me iz mreže, ki so jo na skrivnem položili zame, kajti ti si moja moč.
5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
V tvojo roko izročam svojega duha. Odkupil si me, oh Gospod, Bog resnice.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Sovražil sem tiste, ki se ozirajo za lažnivimi ničevostmi, toda jaz zaupam v Gospoda.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
Vesel bom in se radoval v tvojem usmiljenju, kajti preudaril si mojo težavo, v stiskah si spoznal mojo dušo
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my foot in a large room.
in me nisi zaprl v roko mojega sovražnika. Moja stopala si postavil na velik prostor.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, [yes], my soul and my belly.
Usmili se me, oh Gospod, kajti v stiski sem. Moje oko je použito z žalostjo, da, moja duša in moj trebuh.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Kajti moje življenje je iztrošeno z žalostjo in moja leta z vzdihovanjem. Moja moč slabi zaradi moje krivičnosti in moje kosti so použite.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
Bil sem graja med vsemi svojimi sovražniki, toda še posebej med svojimi bližnjimi in strah svojim znancem. Tisti, ki so me videli zunaj, so pobegnili pred menoj.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
Pozabljen sem, kakor je mrtev človek hitro pozabljen iz uma. Podoben sem razbiti posodi.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
Kajti slišal sem obrekovanje mnogih. Strah je bil na vsaki strani. Medtem ko so se skupaj posvetovali zoper mene, so snovali, da vzamejo moje življenje.
14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.
Toda jaz sem zaupal vate, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moj Bog.«
15 My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Moji časi so v tvoji roki. Osvobodi me pred roko mojih sovražnikov in pred tistimi, ki me preganjajo.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
Stôri, da tvoj obraz zasije nad tvojim služabnikom. Reši me zaradi svojega usmiljenja.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol )
Naj ne bom osramočen, oh Gospod, kajti klical sem k tebi. Naj bodo zlobni osramočeni in naj bodo molče v grobu. (Sheol )
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Naj bodo utišane lažnive ustnice, ki ponosno in zaničljivo govorijo boleče stvari zoper pravičnega.
19 [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
O, kako velika je tvoja dobrota, ki si jo prihranil za tiste, ki se te bojijo, ki si jo izvršil tistim, ki zaupajo vate pred človeškimi sinovi!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Pred ponosom ljudi jih boš skril v zatišju svoje prisotnosti. Pred prepirom jezikov jih boš skrivaj varoval v paviljonu.
21 Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his wonderful kindness in a strong city.
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, kajti pokazal mi je svojo čudovito prijaznost v utrjenem mestu.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.
Kajti v svoji naglici sem rekel: »Iztrebljen sem izpred tvojih oči.« Vendar si slišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko sem klical k tebi.
23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Oh ljubite Gospoda, vsi vi njegovi sveti, kajti Gospod ohranja zveste in obilno nagrajuje tistega, ki ravna ponosno.
24 Be of good courage, and he will strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Bodite odločnega poguma in vaša srca bo okrepil vsem vam, ki upate v Gospoda.
