Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
3 Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
“Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
Bože, ti mi bijaše učitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam čudesa tvoja.
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti ćeš me opet oživiti i opet me podići iz dubine zemlje.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
