Psalms 56

56:1

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

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

56:2

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

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

56:3

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

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

56:4

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

kad me strah spopadne, u te ću se uzdati.

56:5

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

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

56:6

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

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

56:7

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

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

56:8

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

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

56:9

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

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

56:10

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

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

56:11

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

Božje obećanje slavim,

56:12

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

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

56:13

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?

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. ]
