Psalms 57

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