Psalmi 59
1 Osvobodi me pred mojimi sovražniki, oh moj Bog. Brani me pred tistimi, ki se dvigujejo zoper mene.
For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
2 Osvobodi me pred delavci krivičnosti in reši me pred krvoločnimi ljudmi.
Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
3 Kajti, glej, za mojo dušo prežijo v zasedi, mogočni so se zbrali zoper mene; ne zaradi mojega prestopka niti ne zaradi mojega greha, oh Gospod.
See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
4 Brez moje krivde tečejo in se pripravljajo. Zbudi se, da mi pomagaš in glej.
Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
5 Ti torej, oh Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, zbudi se, da obiščeš vse pogane. Z nobenim zlobnim prestopnikom ne bodi usmiljen. (Sela)
You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
6 Vračajo se zvečer, zganjajo hrup kakor pes in krožijo po mestu.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
7 Glej, s svojimi usti bruhajo, meči so na njihovih ustnicah, kajti pravijo: »Kdo sliši?«
See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
8 Toda ti, oh Gospod, se jim boš posmehoval, vse pogane boš imel v posmeh.
But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
9 Zaradi njegove moči bom čakal nate, kajti Bog je moja obramba.
You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
10 Bog mojega usmiljenja me bo vodil. Bog mi bo dal videti mojo željo na mojih sovražnikih.
In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
11 Ne ubij jih, da ne bi moje ljudstvo pozabilo. Razkropi jih s svojo močjo in zlomi jih, oh Gospod, naš ščit.
Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
12 Zaradi greha njihovih ust in besed njihovih ustnic naj bodo celó prijeti v svojem ponosu in za preklinjanje in laži, katere govorijo.
Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
13 Použij jih v besu, použij jih, da jih ne bo in naj spoznajo, da Bog vlada v Jakobu do koncev zemlje. (Sela)
Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
14 Zvečer naj se vrnejo in naj zganjajo hrup kakor pes ter krožijo po mestu.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
15 Naj se potikajo gor in dol za hrano in godrnjajo, če ne bodo nasičeni.
They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're not satisfied.
16 Toda jaz bom prepeval o tvoji moči, da, zjutraj bom na glas prepeval o tvojem usmiljenju, kajti ti si bil moja obramba in zatočišče na dan moje stiske.
But I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
17 Tebi, oh moja moč, bom prepeval, kajti Bog je moja obramba in Bog mojega usmiljenja.
You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
