Psalmi 56

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

For the chief musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A psalm of David. A michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for men are attacking me! All the day long those who fight me press their assault.

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

My enemies trample me all day long; for there are many who arrogantly fight against me.

3 Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

When I am afraid, I will put my trust 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, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man do to me?

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

All the day long they twist 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.

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

Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.

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

You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?

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

Then my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; this I know, that God is for me.

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

In God—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,

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

in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?

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

The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings 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 life from death; you have kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
