Psalmi 7
1 Oh Gospod, moj Bog, vate polagam svoje trdno upanje. Reši me pred vsemi temi, ki me preganjajo in me osvobodi.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 Da ne bi moje duše razkosali kakor lev, ki jo raztrga na koščke, medtem ko ni nobenega, da osvobodi.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 Oh Gospod, moj Bog, če sem to storil, če je krivičnost v mojih rokah,
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 če sem z zlom nagradil tistega, ki je bil z menoj v miru (da, osvobodil sem tistega, ki je brez vzroka moj sovražnik),
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 naj sovražnik preganja mojo dušo in jo vzame; da, naj moje življenje pomendra na zemlji in mojo čast položi v prah. (Sela)
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 Vstani, oh Gospod, v svoji jezi, vzdigni se zaradi besa mojih sovražnikov. Prebudi se zame k sodbi, ki si jo zapovedal.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 Tako te bo obdajala skupnost ljudstva. Zaradi njih se torej vrni na višavo.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 Gospod bo sodil ljudstvo. Sodi me, oh Gospod, glede na mojo pravičnost in glede na mojo neokrnjenost, ki je v meni.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 O naj zlobnost zlobnih pride h koncu; toda utrdi pravičnega. Kajti pravičnim Bog preizkuša srca in notranjosti.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 Moja obramba je od Boga, ki rešuje iskrene v srcu.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Bog sodi pravičnega in Bog je vsak dan jezen na zlobnega.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 Če se ta ne spreobrne, bo nabrusil svoj meč, upognil je svoj lok in ga pripravil.
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 Prav tako je zanj pripravil orodja smrti, svoje puščice je določil zoper preganjalce.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 Glej, muči se s krivičnostjo in spočel je vragolijo in obrodil neresnico.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 Naredil je jamo in jo izkopal in padel v jarek, ki ga je naredil.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 Njegova vragolija se bo vrnila na njegovo lastno glavo in njegovo nasilno delovanje bo prišlo na njegovo lastno tême.
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 Hvalil bom Gospoda glede na njegovo pravičnost. Prepeval bom hvalo imenu Gospoda najvišjega.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
