Psalmi 17
1 Usliši, Gospode, pravdu, èuj glas moj, primi u uši molitvu moju ne iz usta lažljivijeh.
A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.
2 Od lica tvojega neka izaðe sud moj, oèi tvoje neka pogledaju na pravicu.
Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.
3 Ispitaj srce moje, obidi noæu; u ognju me okušaj, i neæeš naæi nepravde moje.
You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.
4 Usta se moja ne dohvataju djela ljudskih; radi rijeèi usta tvojih držim se putova oštrih.
Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.
5 Utvrdi stope moje na stazama svojim da ne zalaze koraci moji.
Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.
6 Tebe prizivljem, jer æeš me uslišiti, Bože! prigni k meni uho svoje, i èuj rijeèi moje.
I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
7 Pokaži divnu milost svoju, koji izbavljaš one koji se u te uzdaju od onijeh koji se protive desnici tvojoj.
Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
8 Èuvaj me kao zjenicu oka: sjenom krila svojih zakloni me
From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
9 Od bezbožnika koji na me napadaju, od neprijatelja duše moje, koji su me opkolili.
from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
10 Srce svoje zatvoriše; ustima svojim govore oholo.
They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
11 Izagnavši me opet su oko mene; oèi su svoje uprli da me obore na zemlju.
They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
12 Oni su kao lav koji hoæe da rastrže, i kao laviæ koji sjedi u potaji.
They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
13 Ustani, Gospode, preteci ih, obori ih. Odbrani dušu moju maèem svojim od bezbožnika,
Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
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.
Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
15 A ja æu u pravdi gledati lice tvoje; kad se probudim, biæu sit od prilike tvoje.
But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
