Psalms 57

Zborovođi. Po napjevu "Ne pogubi!" Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu.

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.

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!

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.

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!

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek' u nju padnu!

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.

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja. [ (Psalms 57:12) Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek' je nad svom zemljom! ]

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
