Psalmi 56

1 Načelniku godbe, o duši, ki silo trpi od tujcev krdela, odlična pesem Davidova, ko so ga prijeli Filistejci v Gatu. Milosten mi bodi, Bog, ker rohneč me preganja človek, ves dan me stiska oblegovatelj.

Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.

2 Rohné zalezovalci moji vés dan, ker mnogo jih je; z višave naj mi pomagajo borilci.

My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 Ko se bodem bal, zaupal bodem v tebe.

What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

4 V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo njegovo; v Boga bodem zaupal, ne bodem se bal: Kaj naj bi mi storilo meso?

In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5 Ves dan žalijo mojo stvar; zoper mene merijo vse njih misli v hudo.

All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Zbirajo, skrivajo se oni; na moj sled prežé, kakor ki iščejo življenje moje.

They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.

7 Poleg krivičnosti jim stóri, v jezi pahni ljudstva, Bog.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Ti imaš sešteto tavanje moje; v meh svoj deni vsako solzo mojo, ali bi jih ne imel seštetih?

Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?

9 Tedaj se povrnejo sovražniki moji nazaj; tisti dan, ko bodem vpil: To vém, da mi bode Bog na strani.

Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.

10 V Bogu bodem hvalil besedo, v Gospodu hvalil besedo.

In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.

11 V Boga zaupam, ne bodem se bal; kaj bi mi storil človek?

In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Z menoj bodejo, o Bog, obljube tvoje; zahvaljeval se bodem tebi.

Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.

13 Ker dušo mojo otimaš smrti; ali bi ne rešil nóg mojih padca? da neprestano hodim pred Bogom v tega življenja luči.

For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
