Psalmi 17
1 Usliši, Gospode, pravdu, èuj glas moj, primi u uši molitvu moju ne iz usta lažljivijeh.
A Prayer by David. Hear, LORD, my righteous plea. Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
2 Od lica tvojega neka izaðe sud moj, oèi tvoje neka pogledaju na pravicu.
Let my sentence come out of your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
3 Ispitaj srce moje, obidi noæu; u ognju me okušaj, i neæeš naæi nepravde moje.
You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
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 kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5 Utvrdi stope moje na stazama svojim da ne zalaze koraci moji.
My steps have held fast 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 have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
7 Pokaži divnu milost svoju, koji izbavljaš one koji se u te uzdaju od onijeh koji se protive desnici tvojoj.
Show your marvellous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8 Èuvaj me kao zjenicu oka: sjenom krila svojih zakloni me
Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 Od bezbožnika koji na me napadaju, od neprijatelja duše moje, koji su me opkolili.
from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
10 Srce svoje zatvoriše; ustima svojim govore oholo.
They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11 Izagnavši me opet su oko mene; oèi su svoje uprli da me obore na zemlju.
They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12 Oni su kao lav koji hoæe da rastrže, i kao laviæ koji sjedi u potaji.
He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Ustani, Gospode, preteci ih, obori ih. Odbrani dušu moju maèem svojim od bezbožnika,
Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul 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 men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
15 A ja æu u pravdi gledati lice tvoje; kad se probudim, biæu sit od prilike tvoje.
As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
