< Psalms 141 >
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.
Psalm Davidov. O Gospod, kličem te, hiti k meni; čuj glas moj, ko te kličem.
2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Molitev moja pridi kakor kadilo pred te; povzdigovanje mojih rok kakor dar večerni.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Zloži Gospod, opazuj usta moja; straži karkoli izhaja z ustnic mojih.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.
Ne daj, da se srce moje nagne k hudobni reči, dela doprinašat po krivici z možmi, ki delajo krivico; tudi naj ne uživam njih slaščic.
5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Udari naj me nazaj pravični, milost bode, in posvari me, mazilo bode izvrstno; ne brani se glava moja; čim bolj, tem bolj bode: molitev moja v njih nesrečah.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
Ali planejo dol raz skale njih sodniki; dasi umejo, da so govori moji prijetni.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
Kakor bi kdo razsekal in razklal zemljo, raztresejo se naše kosti, v groba žrelo. (Sheol )
8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
Ko se v té, Gospod, ozirajo moje oči, k tebi pribegnem, ne zapústi duše moje.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
Reši me zadrge, katero so mi razpeli, in zank njih, ki delajo krivico.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Padejo naj v mreže svoje vsi krivični, jaz pa pojdem mimo.
