Psalmi 59
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Kad je Šaul opkolio kuću da ubije Davida. Izbavi me od dušmana, Bože moj, zaštiti me od mojih protivnika!
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
For, see, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the heathen in derision.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
Because of his strength will I wait on you: for God is my defense.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
11 Pobij ih, Bože, da mi narod ne zavode, zbuni i obori ih jakošću svojom, štite naš, Gospodine.
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 A ja ću opjevati silu tvoju i klicat ću jutrom milosrđu tvome, jer mi ti postade utočište i sklonište u dan nevolje.
But I will sing of your power; yes, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
To you, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
