< Psalmi 141 >
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
2 Nek' mi se uzdigne molitva kao kad pred lice tvoje, podizanje mojih ruku nek' bude k'o prinos večernji!
Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!
Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.
4 Ne daj da mi se srce zlu prikloni, da bezbožno počinim djela opaka; i u društvu zlotvora da ne blagujem poslastica njihovih!
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Nek' me samo udari pravednik, ljubav je što me kara, al' ulje grešničko neće mi glavu pomazat'; zloći njihovoj oprijet ću se uvijek svojom molitvom.
Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Kao kad orač ore i para zemlju, tako će im se na rubu Podzemlja kosti rasuti. (Sheol )
As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape.
