Psalmi 39

1 Zborovođi. Jedutunu. Psalam. Davidov. Odlučio sam: “Čuvat ću put svoj da ne zgriješim jezikom; usta ću svoja zauzdati dokle god preda mnom bude bezbožnik.”

To the excellent musician Ieduthun. I thought, I will take heede to my wayes, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in my sight.

2 Zamukoh, zanijemjeh, glasa ne puštah, ali uzalud - bol mi postade gorča.

I was dumme and spake nothing: I kept silece euen from good, and my sorow was more stirred.

3 U meni srce je gorjelo, na samu pomisao buknuo bi oganj; tad progovorih svojim jezikom:

Mine heart was hote within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindeled, and I spake with my tongue, saying,

4 “Objavi mi, Jahve, moj svršetak i kolika je mjera mojih dana, da znam kako sam ništavan.

Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue.

5 Evo, pedljem si mi dane izmjerio, život moj je kao ništa pred tobom: tek dašak je svaki čovjek.

Beholde, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely euery man in his best state is altogether vanitie. (Selah)

6 Poput sjene čovjek prolazi tek dašak je sve bogatstvo njegovo: zgrće, a ne zna tko će ga pokupiti.”

Doubtlesse man walketh in a shadowe, and disquieteth himselfe in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.

7 A sada, čemu da se nadam, Gospode? Sva je nada moja u tebi!

And now Lord, what wait I for? mine hope is euen in thee.

8 Izbavi me svih mojih bezakonja, ne daj da ruglo budem luđaku!

Deliuer me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolish.

9 Šutim i usta ne otvaram, jer tako si ti učinio.

I should haue bene dumme, and not haue opened my mouth, because thou didest it.

10 Bič svoj otkloni od mene, jer izdišem pod težinom ruke tvoje.

Take thy plague away from mee: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand.

11 Ti kaznama popravljaš čovjeka i sve mu najdraže kao moljac rastačeš: tek dašak je svaki čovjek.

When thou with rebukes doest chastise man for iniquitie, thou as a mothe makest his beautie to consume: surely euery man is vanitie. (Selah)

12 Čuj, o Jahve, molitvu moju, vapaje mi poslušaj, na suze se moje ne ogluši! Jer u tebe ja sam došljak, pridošlica kao svi oci moji.

Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my cry: keepe not silence at my teares, for I am a strager with thee, and a soiourner as all my fathers.

13 Odvrati pogled od mene, da odahnem prije nego odem i više ne budem!

Stay thine anger from me, that I may recouer my strength, before I go hence and be not.
