Psalmi 143
1 Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, slušaj moju molitvu, u vjernosti svojoj prikloni uho mojim vapajima, u pravednosti me svojoj usliši!
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
2 Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
3 Dušmanin mi dušu progoni, o zemlju pritisnu život moj; u tmine me baci da stanujem kao oni koji su davno umrli.
For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
7 Usliši me brzo, o Jahve, dah moj već je na izmaku! Lica svojeg preda mnom ne skrivaj, da ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze!
Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
10 Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
