Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
[A Psalm by David.] LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly. Listen to my voice when I call to 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 before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3 Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!
Set a watch, 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!
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.
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 is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
"As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are 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!
For my eyes are on you, LORD. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave 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, from the traps of evildoers.
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
