Psalms 59
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who 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 workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Osvobodi me pred delavci krivičnosti in reši me pred krvoločnimi ljudmi.
3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
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 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
Brez moje krivde tečejo in se pripravljajo. Zbudi se, da mi pomagaš in glej.
5 You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
Ti torej, oh Gospod Bog nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog, zbudi se, da obiščeš vse pogane. Z nobenim zlobnim prestopnikom ne bodi usmiljen. (Sela)
6 They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
Vračajo se zvečer, zganjajo hrup kakor pes in krožijo po mestu.
7 Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
Glej, s svojimi usti bruhajo, meči so na njihovih ustnicah, kajti pravijo: »Kdo sliši?«
8 But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
Toda ti, oh Gospod, se jim boš posmehoval, vse pogane boš imel v posmeh.
9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
Zaradi njegove moči bom čakal nate, kajti Bog je moja obramba.
10 My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
Bog mojega usmiljenja me bo vodil. Bog mi bo dal videti mojo željo na mojih sovražnikih.
11 Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, 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 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies 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 wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Použij jih v besu, použij jih, da jih ne bo in naj spoznajo, da Bog vlada v Jakobu do koncev zemlje. (Sela)
14 At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
Zvečer naj se vrnejo in naj zganjajo hrup kakor pes ter krožijo po mestu.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
Naj se potikajo gor in dol za hrano in godrnjajo, če ne bodo nasičeni.
16 But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a 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 you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Tebi, oh moja moč, bom prepeval, kajti Bog je moja obramba in Bog mojega usmiljenja.
