Psalms 55
1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David. God, please hear my prayer; don't ignore my cry for help!
Usliši, Bože, molitvu moju, i nemoj se sakriti od moljenja mojega.
2 Please listen, and give me an answer. I'm terribly troubled by my problems! I'm frantic!
Pazi, i saslušaj me; cvilim u jadu svom i uzdišem
3 For my enemies are screaming at me; the wicked are intimidating me. They rain down suffering on me, angrily assaulting me in their hatred.
Od vike neprijateljske i od dosade bezbožnièke; jer dižu na me zlo, i u gnjevu gone me.
4 My heart thumps in agony! Terrified, I feel I'm about to die!
Srce je moje uzdrktalo u meni, i strah smrtni popade me;
5 I'm in a panic, trembling with fear; feelings of horror wash over me.
Strah i trepet doðe na me, i groza poduze me.
6 I tell myself, If only God would give me wings like a dove so I could fly away and be at peace!
I rekoh: ko bi mi dao krila golubinja? ja bih odleteo i poèinuo;
7 I would fly far away to escape, and stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
Daleko bih pobjegao, i nastanio se u pustinji.
8 I would hurry to a place to hide, out of the wind, safe from the raging storm.
Pohitao bih da uteèem od vihora i od bure.
9 Confuse them, Lord! Muddle what they're saying, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
Porazi, Gospode, i razdijeli jezike njihove, jer vidim nasilje i svaðu u gradu;
10 They patrol the city walls day and night, and wickedness and trouble are within the city.
Danju i noæu to hodi po zidovima njegovijem; zloèinstvo je i muka posred njega.
11 The ones causing destruction are inside the city; frauds and cheats are always on the streets.
Usred njega je pogibao, s ulice njegove ne odlazi prijevara i lukavstvo.
12 The problem is that it's not an enemy who mocks me—I could stand that. It's not someone who hates me who insults me—I could avoid them.
Jer ne ruži me neprijatelj moj, to bih podnio; ne ustaje na me javni nenavidnik, od njega bih se sakrio.
13 No, it's you, a man just like me, my best friend who I know so well!
Nego ti koji si mi bio to što ja sam, drug moj i znanac moj.
14 Our friendship was so close. We used to have great talks together as we walked with everyone to the house of God.
S kojim mi bješe radost dijeliti tajnu, i u dom Božji hodih kroz sabor narodni.
15 May death come quickly to them; may they go down into the grave alive, because evil finds its home in them. (Sheol h7585)
Neka ih ugrabi smrt, neka živi siðu u pakao, jer je zloèinstvo u stanu njihovu i u njima. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I cry out to God, and the Lord will save me.
Ja Boga prizivljem, i Gospod æe me spasti.
17 I weep and groan morning, noon, and night, and he listens to me.
Veèerom i jutrom i u podne tužim i uzdišem, i èuæe glas moj;
18 He rescues me, keeping me safe and sound from my attackers, because there are so many against me.
Uèiniæe, te æe duša moja biti mirna od onijeh koji napadaju na me, jer ih mnogo imam.
19 God who has ruled from the beginning will hear me and answer them. (Selah) For they refuse to change and don't respect God.
Da usliši, i ukroti ih Bog, koji živi od vijeka; jer se ne mijenjaju i ne boje se Boga.
20 As for my best friend, he attacked his friends who had no quarrel with him; he broke the promises he had made to them.
Dižu ruke svoje na one koji su s njima u miru, i raskidaju svoju družbu.
21 What he says is as smooth as butter, but inside he plans war; his words are as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.
Usta su im meka kao maslo, a na srcu im je rat. Rijeèi su im blaže od ulja, ali su goli maèevi.
22 Throw your burdens onto the Lord and he will take care of you. He will never allow those who live right to fall.
Stavi na Gospoda breme svoje, i on æe te potkrijepiti. Neæe dati dovijeka pravedniku da posrne.
23 But you, God, will bring down murderers and liars, throwing them into the pit of destruction before they have even lived half their lives. As for me, I will trust in you.
Ti æeš ih, Bože, svaliti u jamu pogibli; krvopije i lukavi neæe sastaviti polovine dana svojih. A ja se u tebe uzdam.
