Molitva pouzdanja u Boga

Voditelju zbora. Davidova pjesma.

31 K tebi se, BOŽE, sklanjam,
    ne daj da budem osramoćen.
    Spasi me zbog svoje pravednosti!
Poslušaj me, požuri i pomozi!
    Budi moja stijena, moje utočište,
    budi moja utvrda, zaštiti me!
Da, ti si moja stijena i moja utvrda.
    Zbog tvog imena, molim te, vodi me i usmjeri!
Molim te, ne daj da upadnem
    u zamke neprijatelja.
    Jer, ti si moj spas!
U tvoje ruke, vjerni BOŽE,
    predajem život svoj.
    Molim te, spasi me!

Ti mrziš ljude koji štuju bezvrijedne idole.
    Samo u tebe se uzdam, BOŽE.
Raduje me tvoja vjerna ljubav.
    Vidio si moju patnju,
    ti znaš kakve me brige muče.
Nisi me neprijateljima predao,
    već na sigurno mjesto postavio.

Smiluj mi se, BOŽE, u nevolji sam.
    Oči sam već isplakao,
    bole me i trbuh i grlo.
10 Život mi je pun tuge i nemira,
    godine prolaze u uzdisajima,
    snaga me izdaje od muke.
11 Moji neprijatelji izlažu me ruglu,
    preziru me susjedi.
Poznanici bježe od mene,
    izbjegavaju me na ulici.
12 Žele me zaboraviti,
    kao da sam već mrtav,
    odbacuju me kao stari lonac.
13 Čujem, mnogi me kleveću,
    užasava me sve što govore.
Udružuju se protiv mene,
    opasnost mi prijeti odasvud.

14 Ali ja tebi vjerujem, BOŽE,
    i govorim: »Ti si moj Bog.«
15 Moj život je u tvojoj ruci.
    Spasi me od neprijatelja,
    od mojih progonitelja.
16 Molim te, prigrli svog slugu,[a]
    izbavi me svojom ljubavlju.
17 Zovem te upomoć, BOŽE,
    ne daj da me posrame.
Neka se zločinci srame
    i neka tiho odu u smrt.
18 Neka zašute svi koji drsko lažu
    i prezirno protiv pravednika govore.

19 O, kako je velika tvoja dobrota
    prema tvojim vjernima.
Pred svima je iskazuješ,
    onima koji se k tebi sklanjaju.
20 Sklanjaš ih od ljudskih spletki
    u skrovište svoje prisutnosti.
U tvom su zaklonu sigurni
    od svih ružnih optužbi.
21 Slavljen neka je BOG!
    Bio sam kao grad pod opsadom,
    a on mi je svoju ljubav čudesno pokazao.
22 U strahu sam rekao:
    »Ne vidiš me i ne možeš mi pomoći.«
Ali molitvu sam ti uputio,
    čuo si me kad sam upomoć zavapio.

23 Ljubite BOGA, svi njegovi sljedbenici!
    BOG vjerne čuva,
    a drznike kažnjava.
24 Snažni i hrabri budite,
    svi koji na BOŽJU pomoć čekate.

Psalm 31[a](A)

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;(B)
    let me never be put to shame;
    deliver me in your righteousness.(C)
Turn your ear to me,(D)
    come quickly to my rescue;(E)
be my rock of refuge,(F)
    a strong fortress to save me.
Since you are my rock and my fortress,(G)
    for the sake of your name(H) lead and guide me.
Keep me free from the trap(I) that is set for me,
    for you are my refuge.(J)
Into your hands I commit my spirit;(K)
    deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.(L)

I hate those who cling to worthless idols;(M)
    as for me, I trust in the Lord.(N)
I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
    for you saw my affliction(O)
    and knew the anguish(P) of my soul.
You have not given me into the hands(Q) of the enemy
    but have set my feet in a spacious place.(R)

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;(S)
    my eyes grow weak with sorrow,(T)
    my soul and body(U) with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish(V)
    and my years by groaning;(W)
my strength fails(X) because of my affliction,[b](Y)
    and my bones grow weak.(Z)
11 Because of all my enemies,(AA)
    I am the utter contempt(AB) of my neighbors(AC)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
    those who see me on the street flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;(AD)
    I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,(AE)
    “Terror on every side!”(AF)
They conspire against me(AG)
    and plot to take my life.(AH)

14 But I trust(AI) in you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times(AJ) are in your hands;
    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
    from those who pursue me.
16 Let your face shine(AK) on your servant;
    save me in your unfailing love.(AL)
17 Let me not be put to shame,(AM) Lord,
    for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
    and be silent(AN) in the realm of the dead.
18 Let their lying lips(AO) be silenced,
    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly(AP) against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things(AQ)
    that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,(AR)
    on those who take refuge(AS) in you.
20 In the shelter(AT) of your presence you hide(AU) them
    from all human intrigues;(AV)
you keep them safe in your dwelling
    from accusing tongues.

21 Praise be to the Lord,(AW)
    for he showed me the wonders of his love(AX)
    when I was in a city under siege.(AY)
22 In my alarm(AZ) I said,
    “I am cut off(BA) from your sight!”
Yet you heard my cry(BB) for mercy
    when I called to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people!(BC)
    The Lord preserves those who are true to him,(BD)
    but the proud he pays back(BE) in full.
24 Be strong and take heart,(BF)
    all you who hope in the Lord.
