< Psalms 141 >
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to you; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to you.
Gospod, k tebi kličem, pohiti k meni; pazljivo prisluhni mojemu glasu, ko kličem k tebi.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
Naj bo moja molitev postavljena pred teboj kakor kadilo in dvigovanje mojih rok kakor večerno žrtvovanje.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
Postavi stražo, oh Gospod, pred moja usta; čuvaj vrata mojih ustnic.
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
Mojega srca ne nagni h kakršnikoli zli stvari, da izvajam dela z ljudmi, ki počnejo krivičnost; in naj ne jem od njihovih slaščic.
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
Naj me pravični udari, to bo prijaznost in naj me graja; to bo odlično olje, ki ne bo zlomilo moje glave, ker bo vendar v njihovih katastrofah tudi moja molitev.
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Kadar so njihovi sodniki premagani na kamnitih krajih, bodo slišali moje besede, kajti prijetne so.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol )
Naše kosti so razkropljene ob ustih groba, kakor kadar nekdo seka in cepi les na zemlji. (Sheol )
8 For mine eyes are to you, O Lord God: I have hoped in you; take not away my life.
Toda moje oči so k tebi, oh Bog, Gospod; v tebi je moje trdno upanje, moje duše ne pusti zapuščene.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
Varuj me pred zankami, ki so jih položili zame in [pred] pastmi delavcev krivičnosti.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
Naj zlobni padejo v svoje lastne mreže, medtem ko jaz istočasno pobegnem.
