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, 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 no living man can be regarded righteous before thee.
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 pursued my soul; he hath crushed to the ground my life; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that are dead eternally.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
And my spirit within me is overwhelmed: in my bosom is my heart astounded.
5 Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
I remember the days of olden times: I meditate on all thy doings: on the work of thy hands do I reflect.
6 Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [longeth] for thee, as a thirsty 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!
Hasten, answer me, O Lord, my spirit falleth: hide not thy face from me, that I may not become like those 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 in the morning thy kindness; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way whereon 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 Lord, from my enemies: by thee do I seek shelter.
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: thy spirit is good; guide me on a level land.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
For thy sake, O Lord, revive me: in thy righteousness bring forth out of distress my soul.
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
And in thy kindness destroy my enemies, and annihilate all the adversaries of my soul; far I am thy servant.
