Psalmi 71
1 U tebe se, Gospode, uzdam, nemoj me ostaviti pod sramotom vjeènom.
In you, O Lord, I take refuge, let me never be put to shame.
2 Pravdom svojom izbavi me, i oprosti me, prigni k meni uho svoje i pomozi mi.
In your faithfulness save me and rescue me, bend your ear to me and save me.
3 Budi mi grad gdje bih svagda dolazio da živim, uredi spasenje moje; jer si ti grad moj i krjepost moja.
Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me; for my rock and my fortress are you.
4 Bože moj! uzmi me iz ruke bezbožnikove, iz ruke bezakonikove i nasilnikove.
Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
5 Jer si ti nadanje moje, Gospod je Gospod pouzdanje moje od mladosti moje.
For you, Lord, are my hope, in whom from my youth I have trusted.
6 Tebe se držim od roðenja, od utrobe matere moje ti si braniè moj; tobom se hvalim svagda.
On you have I leaned from my birth; from my mother’s womb it was you who did draw me. In you is my hope evermore.
7 Èudo sam mnogima, a ti si utoèište moje jako.
I have been as a wonder to many, for you are my refuge and strength.
8 Usta su moja puna hvale tvoje, slave tvoje svaki dan.
All the day long my mouth is filled with your praise and your glory.
9 Nemoj me odbaciti pod starost, kad me izdaje snaga moja, nemoj me ostaviti.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength is spent, forsake me not.
10 Jer neprijatelji moji misle o meni, i koji vrebaju dušu moju dogovaraju se,
For my foes whisper against me, they who watch me take counsel together;
11 Govoreæi: Bog ga je ostavio, potjerajte i uhvatite ga, jer ga nema ko izbaviti.
“God has left him,” they say: “pursue and seize him, for he is helpless.”
12 Bože! Ne budi daleko od mene; Bože moj! pohitaj mi u pomoæ.
O God, be not far from me, haste, O my God, to my help.
13 Nek se postide i poginu protivnici duše moje; neka popadne stid i sramota na one koji mi traže zla!
Put my foes to shame and dishonor, with insult and shame be they covered.
14 A ja æu se svagda uzdati, i ponavljaæu hvale tebi.
But I will never stop hoping, and more and yet more will I praise you.
15 Usta æe moja kazivati pravdu tvoju, svaki dan dobroèinstva tvoja, jer im ne znam broja.
All the day long shall my mouth tell your faithfulness and your salvation, though I know not how they may be counted.
16 Uæi æu u sili Gospoda Gospoda, i slaviæu samo tvoju pravdu.
I will tell of the might of the Lord, and your faithfulness praise, you alone.
17 Bože! ti si me uèio od mladosti, i do danas kazujem èudesa tvoja.
You have taught me, O God, from my youth, and till now have I told of your wonders.
18 Ni u starosti i kad osijedjeh nemoj me ostaviti, Bože, eda bih kazivao mišicu tvoju natražju, svoj omladini silu tvoju.
Even in old age and grey hair, O God, do not forsake me. Still would I tell of your might unto all generations to come.
19 Pravda je tvoja, Bože, do najviše visine; u velikim djelima, koja si uèinio, Bože, ko je kao ti?
Your power and your justice, O God, extend as far as the heavens: for great are the things you have done. Who is like you, O God?
20 Koliko si me puta bacao u velike i ljute nevolje, pak si me opet ostavio meðu živima i iz bezdana me zemaljskih opet izvadio.
You have caused us to see troubles many, but you will revive us again. From the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
21 Mnogo si me puta podizao i ponavljao utjehe.
You will multiply my greatness, and comfort me again.
22 I ja te hvalim uz psaltir, tvoju vjernost, Bože moj; udaram ti u gusle, sveèe Izrailjev!
So with harp I will praise you, and your faithfulness, O my God; and make music to you on the lyre, O you Holy One of Israel.
23 Raduju se usta moja kad pjevam tebi, i duša moja, koju si izbavio.
My lips shall ring out their joy, my mouth shall sing praises to you; all of me, which you have redeemed.
24 I jezik moj svaki dan kazuje pravdu tvoju; jer su postiðeni i posramljeni koji mi traže zla.
Yes, all the day long shall my tongue utter your righteousness; for ashamed and confounded are they who were seeking my hurt.
