Psalmi 56

1 Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, kajti človek me hoče požreti, borben je, dnevno me zatira.

To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.

2 Moji sovražniki me hočejo vsak dan požreti, kajti mnogo jih je, ki se borijo zoper mene, oh ti Najvišji.

My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.

3 Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.

4 V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo, v Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi more storiti meso.

In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

5 Vsak dan pačijo moje besede. Vse njihove misli so zoper mene za zlo.

Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Zbirajo se skupaj, skrivajo se, gledajo moje korake, ko čakajo na mojo dušo.

They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.

7 Ali bodo pobegnili s krivičnostjo? V svoji jezi potri ljudstva, oh Bog.

By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

8 Ti pripoveduješ o mojih tavanjih. Moje solze si polagaš v svoj meh. Mar niso v tvoji knjigi?

You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?

9 Ko kličem k tebi, potem se bodo moji sovražniki obrnili proč. To vem, kajti Bog je zame.

When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

10 V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo. V Gospodu bom hvalil njegovo besedo.

In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.

11 V Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi lahko stori človek.

In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.

12 Tvoje zaobljube so nad menoj, oh Bog, povrnil ti bom hvalnice.

I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

13 Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo. Mar mojih stopal ne boš osvobodil pred padcem, da lahko hodim pred Bogom v svetlobi živih?

Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.
