Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
2 Nek' mi se uzdigne molitva kao kad pred lice tvoje, podizanje mojih ruku nek' bude k'o prinos večernji!
May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
3 Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!
Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
4 Ne daj da mi se srce zlu prikloni, da bezbožno počinim djela opaka; i u društvu zlotvora da ne blagujem poslastica njihovih!
Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
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 a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
9 Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!
Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
