Psalmi 17
1 Usliši, Gospode, pravdu, èuj glas moj, primi u uši molitvu moju ne iz usta lažljivijeh.
A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer— it comes from lips free of deceit.
2 Od lica tvojega neka izaðe sud moj, oèi tvoje neka pogledaju na pravicu.
May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.
3 Ispitaj srce moje, obidi noæu; u ognju me okušaj, i neæeš naæi nepravde moje.
You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
4 Usta se moja ne dohvataju djela ljudskih; radi rijeèi usta tvojih držim se putova oštrih.
As for the deeds of men— by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 Utvrdi stope moje na stazama svojim da ne zalaze koraci moji.
My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6 Tebe prizivljem, jer æeš me uslišiti, Bože! prigni k meni uho svoje, i èuj rijeèi moje.
I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
7 Pokaži divnu milost svoju, koji izbavljaš one koji se u te uzdaju od onijeh koji se protive desnici tvojoj.
Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.
8 Èuvaj me kao zjenicu oka: sjenom krila svojih zakloni me
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9 Od bezbožnika koji na me napadaju, od neprijatelja duše moje, koji su me opkolili.
from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10 Srce svoje zatvoriše; ustima svojim govore oholo.
They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 Izagnavši me opet su oko mene; oèi su svoje uprli da me obore na zemlju.
They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
12 Oni su kao lav koji hoæe da rastrže, i kao laviæ koji sjedi u potaji.
like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Ustani, Gospode, preteci ih, obori ih. Odbrani dušu moju maèem svojim od bezbožnika,
Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,
14 Rukom svojom, Gospode, od ljudi ovijeh, od ljudi ovoga svijeta, kojima je dio ovaj život, kojima si trbuh napunio svoga bogatstva, da æe im i sinovi biti siti i ostatak ostaviti svojoj djeci.
from such men, O LORD, by Your hand— from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.
15 A ja æu u pravdi gledati lice tvoje; kad se probudim, biæu sit od prilike tvoje.
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
