Psalmi 57

Biblija Hrvatski	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu »Ne pogubi!« Davidov. Miktam. Kad je ispred Šaula pobjegao u pećinu.	1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title.
2 Smiluj mi se, Bože, o smiluj se meni jer mi se duša utječe tebi! U sjenu tvojih krila zaklanjam se dok pogibao ne mine.	2 If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
3 Vapijem Bogu višnjemu, Bogu koji mi čini dobro.	3 For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
4 Nek’ pošalje s nebesa i spasi me, nek’ postidi one što me progone: neka Bog pošalje dobrotu svoju i vjernost!	4 Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
5 Ležim usred lavova koji proždiru ljudske sinove. Zubi su im koplja i strijele, a jezik im mač je naoštren.	5 Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
6 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek’ je nad svom zemljom!	6 who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
7 Mrežu namjestiše stopama mojim, stisnuše dušu moju; iskopaše preda mnom jamu: sami nek’ u nju padnu!	7 God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
8 Postojano je srce moje, Bože, postojano je srce moje; pjevat ću i svirati.	8 They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
9 Probudi se, dušo moja! Probudi se, harfo i citaro! Probudit ću zoru jutarnju.	9 Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
10 Hvalit ću te, Gospode, među narodima, među pucima pjevat ću tebi:	10 Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
11 jer do neba je dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.	11 The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
12 Uzvisi se, Bože, nad nebesa, slava tvoja nek’ je nad svom zemljom!	12 And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”
