Psalmi 7
1 Pesem meševita Davidova, katero je pel Gospodu na besede Kusa Benjaminca. Gospod, Bog moj, k tebi pribegam; reši me vseh preganjalcev mojih in oprosti me.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 Da ne zgrabi kakor lev duše moje in raztrga, ko ni pomočnika.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 Gospod, Bog moj, ako sem storil tisto, ako je krivica na rokah mojih:
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 Ako sem storil hudo v miru živečemu z menoj, ki sem mu rad pomagal, kateri me je zatiral po krivem:
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 Preganja naj sovražnik dušo mojo in dohiti ter potepta na tleh življenje moje; in storí naj, da v prahu biva slava moja.
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 Vstani, Gospod, v jezi svoji; dvigni se silno razkačen proti njim, ki me zatirajo; in čuj nad menoj, sodbo si zapovedal.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 Torej narodov zbor naj te obdá in nad njim vrni se v višavo.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 Gospod sodi ljudstva; sodi me, Gospod, po pravičnosti moji in po nedolžnosti moji razsodi zame.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 Propade naj, prosim, zlo krivičnih, in pravičnega utrdi; kakor preiskuješ srca in obisti, Bog pravični.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 Ščit moj je v Bogu, ki daje blaginjo pravičnim v srci,
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 V Bogu, ki je pravičnemu bramba in Bogu mogočnem, ki se srdi vsak dan.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 Ako se ne izpreobrne krivični, nabrusi svoj meč; lok svoj je napél in pomeril vanj.
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 Pomeril je vanj smrtno orožje; pušice svoje zgrabi zoper divjajoče.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 Glej, rodil bode ničemurnost; kakor je spočel nadlogo, tako bode rodil laž.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 Vodnjak je kopal in izglobal ga; vanj je planil, v jami opravljat delo svoje.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 Povrne se nadloga njegova na glavo njegovo in nad téme njegovo pride njegova krivica.
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 Slaviti hočem Gospoda po pravici njegovi in prepeval bodem imenu Gospoda najvišjega.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
