Psalms 56

56:1

Zborovođi. Prema napjevu "Golubica nijema u daljini". Davidov. Miktam. Kad su ga u Gatu uhitili Filistejci.

Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

56:2

Smiluj mi se, moj Bože, jer me dušmanin hoće zgaziti, napadač me moj neprestano tlači.

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

56:3

Dušmani moji nasrću na me povazdan, mnogo ih je koji se na me obaraju. Svevišnji,

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

56:4

kad me strah spopadne, u te ću se uzdati.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

56:5

Božje obećanje slavim, u Boga ja se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti smrtnik?

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

56:6

Od jutra do večeri obružuju me, svi naumi njihovi meni su na zlo.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

56:7

Sastaju se i vrebaju, paze mi na korake, o glavi mi rade.

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

56:8

Plati im prema bezakonju, u gnjevu, o Bože, obori pogane!

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

56:9

Ti izbroji dane mog progonstva, sabrao si suze moje u mijehu svom. Nije li sve zapisano u knjizi tvojoj?

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

56:10

Moji će dušmani uzmaknuti čim te zazovem. Ovo sigurno znam: Bog je za mene!

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

56:11

Božje obećanje slavim,

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

56:12

u Jahvu se uzdam i neću se bojati: što mi može učiniti čovjek?

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

56:13

Vežu me zavjeti koje učinih tebi, o Bože: prinijet ću ti žrtve zahvalne [ (Psalms 56:14) jer si mi dušu od smrti spasio. Ti si očuvao noge moje od pada, da pred Bogom hodim u svjetlosti živih. ]

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
