1{Načelniku godbe; kakor ‚Ne pogubi!‘ Davidova zlata pesem, ko je poslal Savel može, in so stražili hišo njegovo, da bi ga umorili.} Otmi me sovražnikov mojih, moj Bog, na varno me postavi nad njimi, ki se vzpenjajo zoper mene.
1Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2Otmi me njih, ki delajo krivico, in ljudi krvoločnih me reši.
2Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3Zakaj, glej, na dušo mojo preže, zbirajo se zoper mene krepki, ne zavoljo prestopka, ne zavoljo greha mojega, GOSPOD!
3For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
4Brez krivde moje se stekajo in pripravljajo; vstani, pridi mi naproti in poglej!
4I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
5Ti torej, GOSPOD Bog nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov, zbúdi se, da obiščeš vse poganske narode, naj se ti ne smili ne eden hudodelcev verolomnih. (Sela.)
5You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
6Vračajo se zvečer, renče kakor psi in okrog tekajo po mestu.
6They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7Glej, iz ust jim vre hudo, meči so v njih ustnah, kajti: Kdo sliši? pravijo.
7Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For,” they say, “who hears us?”
8Ti pa, GOSPOD, se jim boš smejal, zasmehoval boš vse tiste narode.
8But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9Moč moja, nate bom pazil, ker Bog je moj grad visoki.
9Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10Bog moj mi pride naproti z milostjo svojo, Bog mi dá, da bom z veseljem gledal sovražnike svoje.
10My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11Ne pobij jih, da ne pozabi ljudstvo moje, s svojo močjo jih izženi, da naj blodijo, in pahni jih, o Gospod, ščit naš!
11Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12Greh njih ust je njih ustnic beseda; bodo naj torej ujeti v napuhu svojem in zavoljo kletvine in laži, ki jo izgovarjajo.
12For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13Pokončaj jih v srdu, pokončaj, da jih ne bode več; in spoznajo naj, da Bog gospoduje v Jakobu in tja do mej zemlje. (Sela.)
13Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.
14In zvečer se vračajo, renče kakor psi in okrog tekajo po mestu.
14At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15Klatijo se okoli zavoljo jedi; ko se ne nasitijo, tu prenočujejo.
15They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
16Jaz pa bom pel o moči tvoji in veselo pel o milosti tvoji, ker ti si mi bil grad visoki in pribežališče ob dnevi stiske.O moč moja, tebi bom prepeval psalme, zakaj Bog je grad moj visoki, Bog milosti moje.
16But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17O moč moja, tebi bom prepeval psalme, zakaj Bog je grad moj visoki, Bog milosti moje.
17To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
