Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
Lord, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto you.
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 you as incense; and 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 LORD, 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 practice wicked works 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 strike me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
But mine eyes are unto you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and 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 likewise escape.
