Psalmi 7
1 Gospode, Bože moj! u tebe se uzdam, saèuvaj me od svijeh koji me gone, i izbavi me.
Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
2 Da mi neprijatelj ne išèupa duše kao lav. Èupa, a nema ko da izbavi.
If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
3 Gospode, Bože moj! ako sam to uèinio, ako je nepravda u rukama mojima,
Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
4 Ako sam zlo vratio prijatelju svojemu, ili krivo uèinio onima koji na me na pravdi napadahu;
if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
5 Neka goni neprijatelj dušu moju, i neka je stigne, i pogazi na zemlju život moj i slavu moju u prah obrati.
allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
6 Ustani, Gospode, u gnjevu svojem; digni se na žestinu neprijatelja mojih; probudi se meni na pomoæ, i otvori sud.
But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
7 I ljudstvo æe se sleæi oko tebe; iznad njega izaði u visinu.
Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
8 Gospod sudi narodima. Sudi mi, Gospode, po pravdi mojoj, i po bezazlenosti mojoj neka mi bude.
Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
9 Nek se prekine zloæa bezbožnika, a pravednika potpomozi, jer ti ispituješ srca i utrobe, Bože pravedni!
God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
10 Štit je meni u Boga, koji èuva one koji su prava srca.
God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
11 Bog je pravedan sudija, i Bog je svaki dan gotov na gnjev.
You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
12 Ako se neæe bezbožnik da obrati, on oštri maè svoj, nateže luk svoj, i naperuje ga;
Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
13 I zapinje smrtnu strijelu, èini strijele svoje da pale.
You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
14 Gle, bezbožnik zaèe nepravdu, trudan bijaše zloèinstvom, i rodi sebi prijevaru.
Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
15 Kopa jamu i iskopa, i pade u jamu koju je naèinio.
But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
16 Zloba njegova obrati se na njegovu glavu, i zloèinstvo njegovo pade na tjeme njegovo.
They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
17 Hvalim Gospoda za pravdu njegovu, i pjevam imenu Gospoda višnjega.
I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
