Psalmi 71
1 Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.
2 Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Bodi moje močno prebivališče, kamor se bom lahko nenehno zatekal. Dal si zapoved, da me rešiš, kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava.
Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje od moje mladosti.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
6 S teboj sem bil podpiran od maternice. Ti si tisti, ki me je vzel iz notranjosti moje matere. O tebi bo nenehno moja hvala.
On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.
9 Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,
11 rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
12 Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.
13 Naj bodo zbegani in uničeni tisti, ki so nasprotniki moji duši; naj bodo pokriti z grajo in nečastjo tisti, ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
15 Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].
16 Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.
17 Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:
18 Tudi sedaj, ko sem star in sivolas, oh Bog, me ne zapusti, dokler ne pokažem tvoje moči temu rodu in tvojo oblast vsakemu, ki bo prišel.
Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
19 Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
20 Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;
21 Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 Prav tako te bom hvalil s plunko, celó tvojo resnico, oh moj Bog. Tebi bom prepeval s harfo, oh ti, Sveti Izraelov.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.
23 Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
