Psalmi 56

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

Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.

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

My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many.

3 Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope 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, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

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

All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me.

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

They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;

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

because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people.

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

O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.

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

Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.

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

In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech.

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

In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me.

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

My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you.

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

For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
