Psalmi 57
1 Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, bodi mi usmiljen, kajti moja duša zaupa vate. Da, v senci tvojih peruti si bom pripravil svoje zatočišče, dokler te katastrofe ne bodo minile.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2 Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3 Poslal bo z neba in me rešil pred grajo tistega, ki me hoče požreti. (Sela) Bog bo poslal svoje usmiljenje in svojo resnico.
He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4 Moja duša je med levi in ležim celó med tistimi, ki so vneti z ognjem, celó človeškimi sinovi, katerih zobje so sulice in puščice ter njihov jezik oster meč.
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo, naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.
6 Pripravili so mrežo za moje korake, moja duša je sklonjena. Zame so pred menoj izkopali jamo in v katere sredo so sami padli. (Sela)
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
7 Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 Zbudi se kvišku, moja slava, zbudita se plunka in harfa. Jaz sam se bom prebudil zgodaj.
Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. I will wake up the dawn.
9 Hvalil te bom, oh Gospod, med ljudstvom, prepeval ti bom med narodi.
I will give thanks to you, YHWH, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 Kajti tvoje usmiljenje je veliko do neba in tvoja resnica do oblakov.
For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
