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 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 smitten 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.
Therefore is my spirit 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 work of thy hands.
6 Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
I stretch forth my hands to thee: my soul thirsteth after 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!
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be 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 in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul to thee.
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to thee to hide me.
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; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
Revive me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
And of thy mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
