Psalmi 141
1 Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!
A psalm of David. Lord, I call to you: hasten, to me, attend 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 presented as incense before you, and my uplifted hands as the evening meal-offering.
3 Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!
Set, O Lord, a watch on my mouth, put a guard on 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 an evil matter, to busy myself in deeds of wickedness, in company with workers of evil: never may I partake 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.
A wound or reproof from a good person in kindness is oil which my head shall never refuse. In their misfortune my prayer is still with them.
6 Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.
Abandoned they are to the hands of their judges: they shall learn that my words are true.
Like stones on a country road cleft and broken so lie our bones scattered for Death to devour. (Sheol h7585)
8 U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!
But my eyes are turned towards you, O Lord. Do not pour out my life, for in you I take refuge.
9 Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!
Keep me safe from the trap they have laid for me, from the snares of the workers of trouble.
10 Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
Into their own nets let wicked people fall; while I pass by in safety.
