Psalmi 57
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu. Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
2 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
3 Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
6 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves]. (Selah)
7 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
9 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
