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.” Hear my prayer, O LORD! give ear to my supplications! In thy faithfulness, and in thy righteousness, answer me!
2 Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
Enter not into judgment with thy servant; For before thee no man living is righteous.
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 pursueth my life; He hath smitten me to the ground; He hath made me dwell in darkness, As those that have been dead of old.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
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 works; I muse on the deeds 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 thirsteth for thee, like a parched land.
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!
Hear me speedily, O LORD! My spirit faileth; Hide not thy face from me. Lest I become like those who go down to 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 so see thy loving-kindness speedily; For in thee do I trust! Make known to me the way which I should take; For to thee do I lift up my soul!
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Deliver me, O LORD! from mine enemies; For in thee do I seek 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 path!
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
Revive me, O LORD! for thy name's sake! In thy righteousness, bring me out of my distress!
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
And, in thy compassion, cut off mine enemies, And destroy all that distress me! For I am thy servant.
