Psalms 57
1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities are past by.
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.
2 I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth all things for me.
Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.
3 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.
Nek' pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek' postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!
4 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.
Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen themselves. (Selah)
Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:
10 For thy mercy is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom!
