Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
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.
Bodi moje močno prebivališče, kamor se bom lahko nenehno zatekal. Dal si zapoved, da me rešiš, kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje 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.
S teboj sem bil podpiran od maternice. Ti si tisti, ki me je vzel iz notranjosti moje matere. O tebi bo nenehno moja hvala.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Naj bodo zbegani in uničeni tisti, ki so nasprotniki moji duši; naj bodo pokriti z grajo in nečastjo tisti, ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
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.
Tudi sedaj, ko sem star in sivolas, oh Bog, me ne zapusti, dokler ne pokažem tvoje moči temu rodu in tvojo oblast vsakemu, ki bo prišel.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
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.
Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
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,
Prav tako te bom hvalil s plunko, celó tvojo resnico, oh moj Bog. Tebi bom prepeval s harfo, oh ti, Sveti Izraelov.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
