< 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; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over. I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.
2 Klical bom k Bogu najvišjemu, k Bogu, ki zame opravlja vse stvari.
I will cry to God Most High, to God, who does 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 help from heaven and save me, he is angry with those who crush me. (Selah) God will send me his loving kindness 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 life is among lions; I am among those who are ready to devour me. I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are sharp swords.
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 spread out a net for my feet; I was distressed. They dug a pit in front of me. They themselves have fallen into the middle of it! (Selah)
7 Moje srce je trdno, oh Bog, moje srce je trdno. Prepeval bom in dajal hvalo.
My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed; 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 honored heart; wake up, lute 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, Lord, 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 great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens; and your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Bodi povišan, oh Bog, nad nebo. Naj bo tvoja slava nad vso zemljo.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens; may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
