Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
“A psalm of David.” O Lord, I call thee, hasten 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!
May my prayer be valued as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands, as the evening offering.
3 Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!
Set, O Lord, a watch unto my mouth: keep a guard at 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!
Permit not my heart to incline after any evil thing, to practise deeds in wickedness with men that are doers of wrong: 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.
If the righteous strike me, it is a kindness; and if he reprove me, it is [as] oil poured on the head, my head shall not refuse it; for yet my prayer also [is offered] in their sufferings.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
Are their judges fallen down through means of a rock: then will they listen to my words; for they are pleasant.
As when one cutteth in and splitteth open the earth: so are our bones scattered for the mouth of the grave. (Sheol h7585)
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
For unto thee, O Eternal Lord, are my eyes directed; in thee do I trust: pour not out my life.
9 Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!
Guard me from the power of the snare which they have laid for me, and the traps of the wrong-doers.
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, altogether—while I pass safely by.
