Psalms, 71

1. A Psalm according to Solomon.

1. Tebi si, Jahve, utjeèem, ne daj da se ikada postidim!

2. Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment.

2. U pravdi me svojoj spasi i izbavi, prikloni uho k meni i spasi me!

3. Let the mountains take up peace for the people, and the hills, justice.

3. Budi mi hrid utoèišta i èvrsta utvrda spasenja: jer ti si stijena i utvrda moja.

4. He will judge the poor of the people, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor. And he will humble the false accuser.

4. Bože moj, istrgni me iz ruke zlotvora, iz šake silnika i tlaèitelja:

5. And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, from generation to generation.

5. jer ti si, o Gospode, ufanje moje, Jahve, uzdanje od moje mladosti!

6. He will descend like rain upon fleece, and like showers showering upon the earth.

6. Na te se oslanjam od utrobe; ti si mi zaštitnik od majèina krila: u te se svagda uzdam.

7. In his days, justice will rise like the sun, with abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away.

7. Mnogima postadoh èudo, jer ti si mi bio silna pomoæ.

8. And he will rule from sea to sea and from the river to the limits of the whole world.

8. Usta mi bijahu puna tvoje hvale, slaviše te svaki dan!

9. In his sight, the Ethiopians will fall prostrate, and his enemies will lick the ground.

9. Ne zabaci me u starosti: kad mi malakšu sile, ne zapusti me!

10. The kings of Tarshish and the islands will offer gifts. The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts.

10. Jer govore o meni moji dušmani, i koji me vrebaju složno se svjetuju:

11. And all the kings of the earth shall adore him. All nations will serve him.

11. "Bog ga je napustio; progonite ga i uhvatite jer nema tko da ga spasi!"

12. For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper.

12. O Bože, ne stoj daleko od mene, Bože moj, pohitaj mi u pomoæ!

13. He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.

13. Neka se postide i propadnu koji traže moj život; nek' se sramotom i stidom pokriju koji mi žele nesreæu!

14. He will redeem their souls from usuries and from iniquity, and their names shall be honorable in his sight.

14. A ja æu se uvijek uzdati, iz dana u dan hvaleæ' te sve više.

15. And he will live, and to him will be given from the gold of Arabia, and by him they will always adore. They will bless him all day long.

15. Ustima æu naviještati pravednost tvoju, povazdan pomoæ tvoju: jer im ne znam broja.

16. And there will be a firmament on earth, at the summits of mountains: its fruits will be extolled above Lebanon, and those of the city will flourish like the grass of the earth.

16. Kazivat æu silu Jahvinu, Gospode, slavit æu samo tvoju pravednost.

17. May his name be blessed forever; may his name remain before the sun. And all the tribes of the earth will be blessed in him. All nations will magnify him.

17. Bože, ti mi bijaše uèitelj od mladosti moje, i sve do sada naviještam èudesa tvoja.

18. Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.

18. Ni u starosti, kad posijedim, Bože, ne zapusti me, da kazujem mišicu tvoju naraštaju novom i svima buduæima silu tvoju,

19. And blessed is the name of his majesty in eternity. And all the earth will be filled with his majesty. Amen. Amen.

19. i pravednost tvoju, Bože, koja seže do neba, kojom uèini velika djela. Bože, tko je kao ti!

20. The praises of David, the son of Jesse, have reached an end.

20. Trpljenja mnoga i velika bacio si na me: ali ti æeš me opet oživiti i opet me podiæi iz dubine zemlje.

21.

21. Poveæaj dostojanstvo moje i opet me utješi:

22.

22. A ja æu uz harfu slaviti tvoju vjernost, o Bože, svirat æu ti u citaru, Sveèe Izraelov!

23.

23. Moje æe usne klicati pjevajuæ' tebi i moja duša koju si spasio.

24.

24. I moj æe jezik svagda slaviti pravdu tvoju, jer su postiðeni i posramljeni oni što traže moju nesreæu.
