Psalms 40

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

Dugo èekah Gospoda, i saže se k meni, i èu viku moju.

2 He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

Izvadi me iz jame, koja buèi, i iz gliba, i postavi na kamen noge moje, i utvrdi stope moje.

3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.

I metnu u usta moja pjesmu novu, hvalu Bogu našemu. Vide mnogi, i poèinju se bojati Gospoda, i uzdati se u njega.

4 Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

Blago onome koji na Gospoda stavlja nadanje svoje, i ne obraæa se oholima i onijem koji teže na laž.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

Mnoga su èudesa tvoja, koja si uèinio, Gospode, Bože moj, i mnoge su misli tvoje s nama. Nema ti ravna. Htio bih javljati i kazivati, ali im broja nema.

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

Žrtve i darova neæeš; ti si mi uši otvorio; žrtve paljenice i koja se za grijeh prinosi ne tražiš.

7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:

I po tome rekoh: evo idem, kao što je u knjizi pisano za mene;

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

Hoæu èiniti volju tvoju, Bože moj, i zakon je tvoj meni u srcu.

9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

Kazujem pravdu na saboru velikom; evo, usta svojih ne ustavljam; Gospode, ti znaš.

10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

Pravde tvoje ne sakrivam u srcu svom, kazujem vjernost tvoju i spasenje tvoje; i ne tajim milosti tvoje i istine tvoje od sabora velikog.

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

Gospode, nemoj zatvoriti srca svojega od mene; milost tvoja i istina tvoja jednako neka me èuvaju.

12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

Jer me opkoliše zla nebrojena; stigoše me nepravde moje, da ne mogu gledati; ima ih više nego kose na glavi mojoj, srce me moje ostavi.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

Gospode, voljan budi izbaviti me, Gospode, pohitaj mi u pomoæ.

14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

Nek se postide i posrame svi koji traže pogibao duši mojoj! Nek se vrate natrag i postide koji mi žele zlo!

15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

Nek se povrate u smetnji svojoj koji mi govore: ha! ha!

16 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

Neka se tješe i vesele tobom svi koji traže tebe, Gospode, i koji ljube spasenje tvoje, neka jednako govore: velik Gospod!

17 But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

Ja sam nesreæan i ništ, neka se Gospod postara za me! Ti si pomoæ moja i izbavitelj moj, Bože moj, ne èasi.
