Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
Usliši mojo molitev, oh Gospod, pazljivo prisluhni mojim ponižnim prošnjam; odgovori mi v svoji zvestobi in v svoji pravičnosti.
2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
Ne vstopi na sodbo s svojim služabnikom, kajti v tvojem pogledu noben živeč človek ne bo opravičen.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
Kajti sovražnik je preganjal mojo dušo, moje življenje je z udarcem zrušil k tlom; pripravil me je, da prebivam v temi, kakor tisti, ki so bili dolgo mrtvi.
4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
Zato je moj duh nadvladan znotraj mene, moje srce znotraj mene je zapuščeno.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
Spominjam se dni iz davnine, premišljujem o vseh tvojih delih, razglabljam o delu tvojih rok.
6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Svoje roke iztegujem k tebi; mojo dušo žeja po tebi kakor žejno deželo. (Sela)
7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
Naglo me usliši, oh Gospod, moj duh slabi. Svojega obraza ne skrivaj pred menoj, da ne bi bil podoben tem, ki gredo dol v jamo.
8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
Povzroči mi, da zjutraj slišim tvojo ljubečo skrbnost, kajti vate zaupam. Povzroči mi, da spoznam pot, po kateri naj hodim, kajti svojo dušo dvigujem k tebi.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
Osvobodi me, oh Gospod, pred mojimi sovražniki. K tebi zbežim, da me skriješ.
10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Úči me izpolnjevati tvojo voljo, kajti ti si moj Bog. Tvoj duh je dober, vodi me v deželo iskrenosti.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Oživi me, oh Gospod, zaradi svojega imena; zaradi svoje pravičnosti mojo dušo privedi iz stiske.
12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
Zaradi svojega usmiljenja iztrebi moje sovražnike in uniči vse tiste, ki prizadevajo mojo dušo, kajti jaz sem tvoj služabnik.
