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!
For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him. Save me, O God, from my enemies; secure me from my assailants.
2 Izbavi me od bezakonika, od krvoloka spasi me!
Save me from those who do wrong, save me from the bloodthirsty.
3 Jer evo: dušu moju vrebaju, na me ustadoše silnici. Nema na meni krivnje, o Jahve, ni grijeha:
For see! They lay ambush for me, strong men are banded against me not for sin or transgression of mine, for no guilt of mine, O Lord,
4 bez moje krivnje na me nasrću. Probudi se! Dođi mi u pomoć i pogledaj,
they run and make ready. Awake! Come forth to meet me, and see!
5 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, Bože Izraelov! Preni se, kazni sve pogane, podlacima nemoj se smilovati!
You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, awake! And punish the proud, every one; spare none of the traitors vile. (Selah)
6 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in the city.
7 Gle, kako bljuju ustima; kletve su im na usnama i govore: “Tko nas čuje?”
Look at their venomous mouths, tongues like swords, they think no one hears them.
8 No, ti im se smiješ, o Jahve, i rugaš se poganima svima.
But you, Lord, laugh at them, you mock all the insolent.
9 Jakosti moja, gledat ću na te, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
My strength, I will sing to you, for God is my sure retreat.
10 Bog neka mi pohiti u susret, nek' me razveseli nad dušmanima mojim!
My God with his love will meet me, and feast my eyes on my foes.
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, let your hosts keep them roaming and wandering.
12 Grijeh je svaka riječ usta njihovih: nek se uhvate u svoju oholost, u kletve i laži što ih govore!
In their sinful speech snare them, O Lord; and may they be trapped in their pride, for the curses and lies that they utter.
13 Istrijebi ih u gnjevu, istrijebi da nestanu, nek' se zna da Bog vlada u Jakovu i do nakraj zemlje!
In your wrath make a clean end of them, that people, to the ends of the earth, may know that God rules in Jacob. (Selah)
14 Uvečer se vraćaju, reže poput pasa i trče po gradu.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in the city.
15 Nek' lutaju okolo tražeći hranu; i kad se nasite, neka zavijaju.
They roam about for a feast, and snarl, if they get not their fill.
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 might; I will ring out your love in the morning. For to me you have been a sure refuge, a retreat in the day of my trouble.
17 Jakosti moja, tebi ću pjevati, jer ti si, Bože, zaštita moja, Bog moj, milosrđe moje.
My strength, I will sing praise to you, for God is my sure retreat, my faithful God.
