Psalms 71
1 By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame.
Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
2 In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline thine ear to me, and save me.
Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
3 Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for thou art my fortress and my refuge.
Bodi moje močno prebivališče, kamor se bom lahko nenehno zatekal. Dal si zapoved, da me rešiš, kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
5 For thou art my support, O Lord; O Lord, [thou art] my hope from my youth.
Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje od moje mladosti.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my praise continually.
S teboj sem bil podpiran od maternice. Ti si tisti, ki me je vzel iz notranjosti moje matere. O tebi bo nenehno moja hvala.
7 I am become as it were a wonder to many: but thou art [my] strong helper.
Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn thy glory, [and] thy majesty all the day.
Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
11 saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver [him].
rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
12 O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw nigh to my help.
Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
13 Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.
Naj bodo zbegani in uničeni tisti, ki so nasprotniki moji duši; naj bodo pokriti z grajo in nečastjo tisti, ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
14 But I will hope continually, and will praise thee more and more.
Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, [and] thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs [of men].
Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
16 I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness only.
Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders;
Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
18 even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:
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.
19 even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which thou has done: O God, who is like to thee?
Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
20 What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.
Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
21 Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.
Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
22 I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, [because of] thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to thee on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
Prav tako te bom hvalil s plunko, celó tvojo resnico, oh moj Bog. Tebi bom prepeval s harfo, oh ti, Sveti Izraelov.
23 My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
24 Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
