Psalms 57
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
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 cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue 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, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. (Selah)
Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
7 My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
