Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, kajti človek me hoče požreti, borben je, dnevno me zatira.

2 My enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they are] many that fight against me, O thou Most High.

Moji sovražniki me hočejo vsak dan požreti, kajti mnogo jih je, ki se borijo zoper mene, oh ti Najvišji.

3 In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo, v Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi more storiti meso.

5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.

Vsak dan pačijo moje besede. Vse njihove misli so zoper mene za zlo.

6 They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

Zbirajo se skupaj, skrivajo se, gledajo moje korake, ko čakajo na mojo dušo.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity; in [thy] anger cast down the people, O God.

Ali bodo pobegnili s krivičnostjo? V svoji jezi potri ljudstva, oh Bog.

8 Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?

Ti pripoveduješ o mojih tavanjih. Moje solze si polagaš v svoj meh. Mar niso v tvoji knjigi?

9 When I cry [to thee], then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.

Ko kličem k tebi, potem se bodo moji sovražniki obrnili proč. To vem, kajti Bog je zame.

10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo. V Gospodu bom hvalil njegovo besedo.

11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me.

V Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi lahko stori človek.

12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee.

Tvoje zaobljube so nad menoj, oh Bog, povrnil ti bom hvalnice.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt thou] not [deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo. Mar mojih stopal ne boš osvobodil pred padcem, da lahko hodim pred Bogom v svetlobi živih?
