Psalmi 17
1 Usliši, Gospode, pravdu, èuj glas moj, primi u uši molitvu moju ne iz usta lažljivijeh.
A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.
2 Od lica tvojega neka izaðe sud moj, oèi tvoje neka pogledaju na pravicu.
Let my judgement come forth from your presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.
3 Ispitaj srce moje, obidi noæu; u ognju me okušaj, i neæeš naæi nepravde moje.
You has proved mine heart; you have visited [me] by night; you have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
4 Usta se moja ne dohvataju djela ljudskih; radi rijeèi usta tvojih držim se putova oštrih.
As for the works of men, by the words of your lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.
5 Utvrdi stope moje na stazama svojim da ne zalaze koraci moji.
Direct my steps in your paths, that my steps slip not.
6 Tebe prizivljem, jer æeš me uslišiti, Bože! prigni k meni uho svoje, i èuj rijeèi moje.
I have cried, for you heard me, O God: incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.
7 Pokaži divnu milost svoju, koji izbavljaš one koji se u te uzdaju od onijeh koji se protive desnici tvojoj.
Show the marvels of your mercies, you that save them that hope in you.
8 Èuvaj me kao zjenicu oka: sjenom krila svojih zakloni me
Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist your right hand: you shall screen me by the covering of your wings,
9 Od bezbožnika koji na me napadaju, od neprijatelja duše moje, koji su me opkolili.
from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.
10 Srce svoje zatvoriše; ustima svojim govore oholo.
They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.
11 Izagnavši me opet su oko mene; oèi su svoje uprli da me obore na zemlju.
They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.
12 Oni su kao lav koji hoæe da rastrže, i kao laviæ koji sjedi u potaji.
They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret [places].
13 Ustani, Gospode, preteci ih, obori ih. Odbrani dušu moju maèem svojim od bezbožnika,
Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] 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.
because of the enemies of your hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with your hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.
15 A ja æu u pravdi gledati lice tvoje; kad se probudim, biæu sit od prilike tvoje.
But I shall appear in righteousness before your face: I shall be satisfied when your glory appears.
