< Psalmi 59 >
1 Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična; ko je bil poslal Savel može, ki so ogledavali hišo njegovo, da bi ga umorili. Reši me sovražnikov mojih, moj Bog; nad nje, ki se spenjajo v méne, povzdigni me.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
2 Reši me njih, ki delajo krivico, in ljudî krvoločnih otmi me.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
3 Ker, glej, življenje moje zalezujejo, shajajo se zoper mene krepki, brez hudobije moje, brez greha mojega, Gospod!
See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
4 Brez krivice moje se zbirajo in pripravljajo: vstani meni naproti in ozri se.
For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
5 Ti torej, Gospod, Bog vojnih krdél, Bog Izraelov, zbúdi se, obiskat vse one narode: ne bodi milosten nikomur, ki dela krivico, nezvesto.
O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
6 Povračajo se zvečer; bevkajo kakor pes, in obdajajo mesto.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
7 Glej, bljujejo z usti svojimi, z mečem na ustnah svojih; ker kdo sliši? pravijo.
See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
8 Ti pa, Gospod, bodeš se jim smijal, zasmehoval bodeš vse tiste narode.
But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
9 Ko ima on moč, gledal bodem v té, ker Bog je moj grad.
I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
10 Bog milosti moje bode me prestregel; Bog storí, da bodem gledal sovražnike svoje.
My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
11 Ne pobij jih, da ne pozabijo rojaki moji; izženi jih s krepostjo svojo, in pahni jih dol, ščit naš, Gospod!
Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12 Greh njih ust je njih ustnic beseda; ko bodejo vjeti v napuhu svojem, tedaj naj oznanjajo od prekletstva, tedaj od slabosti.
By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
13 Pokončaj v srdu, pokončaj, da jih ne bode več; vedó naj, da Bog gospoduje v Jakobu do mej zemlje.
Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
14 Ko se povračajo zvečer, bevkajo naj kakor pes, in obdajajo mesto.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
15 Sami se naj gonijo, da bi jedli; ko ne bodejo nasíteni, tedaj primorani naj bodejo prenočevati.
They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
16 Jaz pa bodem prepeval moč tvojo, in pel bodem do vsakega jutra milost tvojo, da si ti mi bil grad moj in pribežališče, ko sem bil v stiski.
But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17 O moč moja, tebi bodem prepeval, da je Bog grad moj, Bog milosti moje.
To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
