Psalmi 56

1 Bodi mi usmiljen, oh Bog, kajti človek me hoče požreti, borben je, dnevno me zatira.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

2 Moji sovražniki me hočejo vsak dan požreti, kajti mnogo jih je, ki se borijo zoper mene, oh ti Najvišji.

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 Kadar sem prestrašen, bom zaupal vate.

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

4 V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo, v Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi more storiti meso.

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

5 Vsak dan pačijo moje besede. Vse njihove misli so zoper mene za zlo.

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

6 Zbirajo se skupaj, skrivajo se, gledajo moje korake, ko čakajo na mojo dušo.

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

7 Ali bodo pobegnili s krivičnostjo? V svoji jezi potri ljudstva, oh Bog.

You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.

8 Ti pripoveduješ o mojih tavanjih. Moje solze si polagaš v svoj meh. Mar niso v tvoji knjigi?

O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.

9 Ko kličem k tebi, potem se bodo moji sovražniki obrnili proč. To vem, kajti Bog je zame.

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.

10 V Bogu bom hvalil njegovo besedo. V Gospodu bom hvalil njegovo besedo.

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

11 V Boga sem položil svoje trdno upanje; ne bom se bal, kaj mi lahko stori človek.

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

12 Tvoje zaobljube so nad menoj, oh Bog, povrnil ti bom hvalnice.

The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

13 Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo. Mar mojih stopal ne boš osvobodil pred padcem, da lahko hodim pred Bogom v svetlobi živih?

For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
