< 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 leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.” Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
2 Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things 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 will put to shame him that panteth for my life; (Pause) God will send forth his mercy 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 life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
5 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo, naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory 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 have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
7 Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
8 Zbudi se kvišku, moja slava, zbudita se plunka in harfa. Jaz sam se bom prebudil zgodaj.
Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
9 Hvalil te bom, oh Gospod, med ljudstvom, prepeval ti bom med narodi.
I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
10 Kajti tvoje usmiljenje je veliko do neba in tvoja resnica do oblakov.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
11 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
