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. Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
2 Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
3 Dušmanin mi dušu progoni, o zemlju pritisnu život moj; u tmine me baci da stanujem kao oni koji su davno umrli.
The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
5 Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
6 Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. (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!
Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
8 Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
10 Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
