Psalmi 59
1 Osvobodi me pred mojimi sovražniki, oh moj Bog. Brani me pred tistimi, ki se dvigujejo zoper mene.
For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
2 Osvobodi me pred delavci krivičnosti in reši me pred krvoločnimi ljudmi.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
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.
For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
4 Brez moje krivde tečejo in se pripravljajo. Zbudi se, da mi pomagaš in glej.
Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Ti torej, oh Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, zbudi se, da obiščeš vse pogane. Z nobenim zlobnim prestopnikom ne bodi usmiljen. (Sela)
And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause)
6 Vračajo se zvečer, zganjajo hrup kakor pes in krožijo po mestu.
They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Glej, s svojimi usti bruhajo, meči so na njihovih ustnicah, kajti pravijo: »Kdo sliši?«
Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
8 Toda ti, oh Gospod, se jim boš posmehoval, vse pogane boš imel v posmeh.
But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.
9 Zaradi njegove moči bom čakal nate, kajti Bog je moja obramba.
will keep my strength, [looking] to you; for you, O God, are my helper.
10 Bog mojega usmiljenja me bo vodil. Bog mi bo dal videti mojo željo na mojih sovražnikih.
[As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
11 Ne ubij jih, da ne bi moje ljudstvo pozabilo. Razkropi jih s svojo močjo in zlomi jih, oh Gospod, naš ščit.
Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
12 Zaradi greha njihovih ust in besed njihovih ustnic naj bodo celó prijeti v svojem ponosu in za preklinjanje in laži, katere govorijo.
[For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
13 Použij jih v besu, použij jih, da jih ne bo in naj spoznajo, da Bog vlada v Jakobu do koncev zemlje. (Sela)
And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause)
14 Zvečer naj se vrnejo in naj zganjajo hrup kakor pes ter krožijo po mestu.
They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Naj se potikajo gor in dol za hrano in godrnjajo, če ne bodo nasičeni.
They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
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 to your strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
17 Tebi, oh moja moč, bom prepeval, kajti Bog je moja obramba in Bog mojega usmiljenja.
[You are] my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
