Psalmi 59
1 Osvobodi me pred mojimi sovražniki, oh moj Bog. Brani me pred tistimi, ki se dvigujejo zoper mene.
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, my God; set me on high away from those who rise up against me.
2 Osvobodi me pred delavci krivičnosti in reši me pred krvoločnimi ljudmi.
Keep me safe from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty 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, see, they wait in ambush to take my life. The powerful men gather themselves together against me, but not because of my transgression or my sin, Yahweh.
4 Brez moje krivde tečejo in se pripravljajo. Zbudi se, da mi pomagaš in glej.
They prepare to run at me although I am without fault; awake and help me and see.
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, Yahweh God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise and punish all the nations; do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 Vračajo se zvečer, zganjajo hrup kakor pes in krožijo po mestu.
They return at evening, they howl like dogs and go around the city.
7 Glej, s svojimi usti bruhajo, meči so na njihovih ustnicah, kajti pravijo: »Kdo sliši?«
See, they belch out with their mouths; swords are in their lips, for they say, “Who hears us?”
8 Toda ti, oh Gospod, se jim boš posmehoval, vse pogane boš imel v posmeh.
But you, Yahweh, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision.
9 Zaradi njegove moči bom čakal nate, kajti Bog je moja obramba.
God, my strength, I will pay attention to you; you are my high tower.
10 Bog mojega usmiljenja me bo vodil. Bog mi bo dal videti mojo željo na mojih sovražnikih.
My God will meet me with his covenant faithfulness; God will let me see my desire on my enemies.
11 Ne ubij jih, da ne bi moje ljudstvo pozabilo. Razkropi jih s svojo močjo in zlomi jih, oh Gospod, naš ščit.
Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by your power and make them fall, Lord our shield.
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 sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be captured in their pride, and for the curses and lies that they express.
13 Použij jih v besu, použij jih, da jih ne bo in naj spoznajo, da Bog vlada v Jakobu do koncev zemlje. (Sela)
Consume them in wrath, consume them so that they will be no more; let them know that God rules in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Zvečer naj se vrnejo in naj zganjajo hrup kakor pes ter krožijo po mestu.
At evening they return, howling like dogs going around the city.
15 Naj se potikajo gor in dol za hrano in godrnjajo, če ne bodo nasičeni.
They wander about looking for food and they growl like a dog if they are 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 about your strength, and in the morning I will sing about your steadfast love! For you have been my high tower and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Tebi, oh moja moč, bom prepeval, kajti Bog je moja obramba in Bog mojega usmiljenja.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of covenant faithfulness.
