Psalms 59
1 “For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
Osvobodi me pred mojimi sovražniki, oh moj Bog. Brani me pred tistimi, ki se dvigujejo zoper mene.
2 Deliver me from the doers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood!
Osvobodi me pred delavci krivičnosti in reši me pred krvoločnimi ljudmi.
3 For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
Kajti, glej, za mojo dušo prežijo v zasedi, mogočni so se zbrali zoper mene; ne zaradi mojega prestopka niti ne zaradi mojega greha, oh Gospod.
4 Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
Brez moje krivde tečejo in se pripravljajo. Zbudi se, da mi pomagaš in glej.
5 Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! (Pause)
Ti torej, oh Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, zbudi se, da obiščeš vse pogane. Z nobenim zlobnim prestopnikom ne bodi usmiljen. (Sela)
6 Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
Vračajo se zvečer, zganjajo hrup kakor pes in krožijo po mestu.
7 Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; “For who,” say they, “will hear?”
Glej, s svojimi usti bruhajo, meči so na njihovih ustnicah, kajti pravijo: »Kdo sliši?«
8 Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
Toda ti, oh Gospod, se jim boš posmehoval, vse pogane boš imel v posmeh.
9 O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
Zaradi njegove moči bom čakal nate, kajti Bog je moja obramba.
10 My God will come to meet me with his mercy; God will cause me to look with joy upon my enemies.
Bog mojega usmiljenja me bo vodil. Bog mi bo dal videti mojo željo na mojih sovražnikih.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; Scatter them by thy power, and cast them down, O Lord, our shield!
Ne ubij jih, da ne bi moje ljudstvo pozabilo. Razkropi jih s svojo močjo in zlomi jih, oh Gospod, naš ščit.
12 The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which they utter!
Zaradi greha njihovih ust in besed njihovih ustnic naj bodo celó prijeti v svojem ponosu in za preklinjanje in laži, katere govorijo.
13 Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! (Pause)
Použij jih v besu, použij jih, da jih ne bo in naj spoznajo, da Bog vlada v Jakobu do koncev zemlje. (Sela)
14 Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
Zvečer naj se vrnejo in naj zganjajo hrup kakor pes ter krožijo po mestu.
15 Let them wander about for food, When they have passed the night unsatisfied!
Naj se potikajo gor in dol za hrano in godrnjajo, če ne bodo nasičeni.
16 But I will sing of thy power; Yea, in the morning will I sing aloud of thy mercy; For thou hast been my defence, My refuge in the day of my distress.
Toda jaz bom prepeval o tvoji moči, da, zjutraj bom na glas prepeval o tvojem usmiljenju, kajti ti si bil moja obramba in zatočišče na dan moje stiske.
17 To thee, O my Strength! will I sing! For God is my defence; a God of mercy to me.
Tebi, oh moja moč, bom prepeval, kajti Bog je moja obramba in Bog mojega usmiljenja.
