Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to 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 directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
3 Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about 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 evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
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.
The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol h7585)
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
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 stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
