< 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 before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
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 are workers of 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 is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, 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 )
Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol )
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: 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 traps 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 pass over.
