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. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and 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 shall no man living 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 hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
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 spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary 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!
Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like 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 lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
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 an even land.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; 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 mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
