< 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.
To the Chief Musician. "Do not destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. When he fled from the face of Saul into the Cave. Show me favour, O God, Show me favour, For, in thee, hath my soul sought refuge, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I seek refuge, Until the storm of ruin pass by.
2 Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
I will cry unto God Most High, Unto GOD, who accomplisheth on my behalf:
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 out of heaven, that he may save me, He who is panting for me, hath reproached. (Selah) God will send out his lovingkindness and his faithfulness.
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 in the midst of lions, I lie down amidst flames, As for the sons of men, Their teeth, are spear and arrows, And, their tongue, is a sharp sword.
5 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo, naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Be exalted Above the Heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
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)
A net, did they fix for my steps, My soul was bowed down, —They digged before me a pit, They fell into the midst thereof! (Selah)
7 Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
Fixed is my heart, O God, Fixed is my heart, I will sing, and touch the strings.
8 Zbudi se kvišku, moja slava, zbudita se plunka in harfa. Jaz sam se bom prebudil zgodaj.
Awake, mine honour, Awake, harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn;
9 Hvalil te bom, oh Gospod, med ljudstvom, prepeval ti bom med narodi.
I will thank thee, among the peoples, O My Lord, I will praise thee in song, among the races of men.
10 Kajti tvoje usmiljenje je veliko do neba in tvoja resnica do oblakov.
For, great, unto the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, And, unto the skies, thy faithfulness.
11 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Be exalted Above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth, thy glory!
