Psalms 40
1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry.
Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Stanovitno sem čakal Gospoda, kateri je nagnivši se k meni slišal vpitje moje.
2 He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain.
In izpeljavši me iz jezera viharnega, iz blatne luže, postavil je nogo mojo na skalo, utrdil korake moje.
3 And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.
V usta moja je položil novo pesem, hvalno pesem našemu Bogu: videli bodo mnogi in bali se ter zaupali v Gospoda, govoreč:
4 Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.
Blagor možu, kateri stavi v Gospoda zaupanje svoje, ter se ne ozira v prevzetnike in lažnjivce.
5 O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.
Mnoga čuda svoja nam ti deliš, Gospod, Bog moj, in misli svoje za nas: nihče, ko jih pregledujem, ni tebi enak; če jih bodem oznanjal in pripovedoval, preštevilna so, da bi jih naštel.
6 You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request.
Daritve in darú se nisi veselil, ušesa si mi prebodel; žgalne žrtve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
7 Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,
Tedaj sem rekel: Glej, tu sem; v zvitku knjige je pisano o meni:
8 My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.
Veseli me delati voljo tvojo, Bog moj; in postava tvoja je v mojem osrčji.
9 I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.
Pravico oznanjam v zboru velikem; glej, ustnam svojim ne branim, Gospod, ti veš.
10 Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.
Pravice tvoje ne skrivam v srci svojem: zvestobo tvojo in blaginjo tvojo pravim; ne prikrivam milosti tvoje in resnice tvoje velikemu zboru.
11 Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.
Ti, Gospod, ne odtezaj mi usmiljenja svojega; milost tvoja in resnica tvoja naj me hraniti vedno.
12 For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.
Ker obdajajo me in napadajo nadloge brez števila; dohajajo me krivice moje tako, da pregledati ne morem; več jih je, ko glave moje làs; tudi srce moje me zapušča.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.
Blagovoli me oteti, Gospod; na pomoč mojo hiti, Gospod!
14 Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.
Osramoté se naj in z rudečino oblijó vsi vkup, ki iščejo duše moje, da jo pogubé; umaknejo se naj in onečastijo, kateri se veselé moje nadloge.
15 Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.
Zapuščeni naj bodo za plačilo sramote svoje, kateri pravijo meni: Prav, prav!
16 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.
Veselé se naj in radujejo v tebi vsi, kateri te iščejo; govoré naj vedno: Poveličuj se Gospod, kateri ljubijo blaginjo tvojo.
17 Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.
Ubog sem res in potreben, ali Gospod misli name: pomoč si moja in rešitelj moj: Bog moj, ne múdi se.
