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.
God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
2 Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
3 Poslal bo z neba in me rešil pred grajo tistega, ki me hoče požreti. (Sela) Bog bo poslal svoje usmiljenje in svojo resnico.
You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
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.
[Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
5 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo, naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over 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)
[It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
7 Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
8 Zbudi se kvišku, moja slava, zbudita se plunka in harfa. Jaz sam se bom prebudil zgodaj.
I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
9 Hvalil te bom, oh Gospod, med ljudstvom, prepeval ti bom med narodi.
Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
10 Kajti tvoje usmiljenje je veliko do neba in tvoja resnica do oblakov.
because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
11 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
