< Psalmi 71 >

1 Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear to me, and save me.
3 Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
Be you my strong habitation, where I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
For you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.
6 Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.
7 Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
I am as a wonder to many; but you are my strong refuge.
8 Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day.
9 Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 “Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14 A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
15 Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of your only.
17 Bože, ti mi bijaše učitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam čudesa tvoja.
O God, you have taught me from my youth: and till now have I declared your wondrous works.
18 Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength to this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.
19 i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like to you!
20 Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti ćeš me opet oživiti i opet me podići iz dubine zemlje.
You, which have showed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: to you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.
23 Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
