Psalms 71
1 In you, O Lord, I take refuge, let me never be put to shame.
Tebi si, Jahve, utječem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!
2 In your faithfulness save me and rescue me, bend your ear to me and save me.
U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!
3 Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me; for my rock and my fortress are you.
Budi mi hrid utočišta i čvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.
4 Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlačitelja:
5 For you, Lord, are my hope, in whom from my youth I have trusted.
jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!
6 On you have I leaned from my birth; from my mother’s womb it was you who did draw me. In you is my hope evermore.
Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majčina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.
7 I have been as a wonder to many, for you are my refuge and strength.
Mnogima postadoh čudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoć.
8 All the day long my mouth is filled with your praise and your glory.
Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength is spent, forsake me not.
Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!
10 For my foes whisper against me, they who watch me take counsel together;
Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:
11 ‘God has left him,’ they say: ‘pursue and seize him, for he is helpless.’
“Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!”
12 O God, be not far from me, haste, O my God, to my help.
O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoć!
13 Put my foes to shame and dishonour, with insult and shame be they covered.
Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreću!
14 But I will never stop hoping, and more and yet more will I praise you.
A ja ću se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleć' te sve više.
15 All the day long shall my mouth tell your faithfulness and your salvation, though I know not how they may be counted.
Ustima ću naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoć tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.
16 I will tell of the might of the Lord, and your faithfulness praise, you alone.
Kazivat ću silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit ću samo tvoju pravednost.
17 You have taught me, O God, from my youth, and till now have I told of your wonders.
Bože, ti mi bijaše učitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam čudesa tvoja.
18 Even in old age and grey hair, O God, do not forsake me. Still would I tell of your might unto all generations to come.
Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima budućima silu tvoju,
19 Your power and your justice, O God, extend as far as the heavens: for great are the things you have done. Who is like you, O God?
i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom učini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!
20 You have caused us to see troubles many, but you will revive us again. From the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti ćeš me opet oživiti i opet me podići iz dubine zemlje.
21 You will multiply my greatness, and comfort me again.
Povećaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:
22 So with harp I will praise you, and your faithfulness, O my God; and make music to you on the lyre, O you Holy One of Israel.
A ja ću uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat ću ti u citaru, Sveče Izraelov!
23 My lips shall ring out their joy, my mouth shall sing praises to you; all of me, which you have redeemed.
Moje će usne klicati pjevajuć' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.
24 Yes, all the day long shall my tongue utter your righteousness; for ashamed and confounded are they who were seeking my hurt.
I moj će jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiđeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreću.
