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 Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto 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 one living is justified 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 an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
5 Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
6 Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. (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!
Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going 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 to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
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 good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God — Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
