Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” I cry to thee, O LORD! make haste unto me! Give ear to my voice, when I cry unto thee!
2 Nek' mi se uzdigne molitva kao kad pred lice tvoje, podizanje mojih ruku nek' bude k'o prinos večernji!
Let my prayer come before thee 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; Guard 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!
Let not my heart incline to any evil thing; Let me not practise wickedness with the doers of iniquity, And let me not 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 smite me, —it shall be a kindness; Let him reprove me, and it shall be oil for my head; Let him do it again, and my head shall not refuse it; But now I pray against their wickedness!
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
When their judges are hurled over the side of the rock, They shall hear how pleasant are my words.
So are our bones scattered at the mouth of the underworld, As when one furroweth and ploweth up the land. (Sheol h7585)
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
But to thee do my eyes look, O Lord Jehovah! In thee is my trust; Let not my life be poured out!
9 Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!
Preserve me from the snares which they have laid for me, And from the nets of evil-doers!
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
Let the wicked fall together into their own traps, Whilst I make my escape!
