Psalms 40
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and listened to my supplication.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Uzdah se u Jahvu uzdanjem silnim, i on se k meni prignu i usliša vapaj moj.
2 And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
Izvuče me iz jame propasti, iz blata kalnoga; noge mi stavi na hridinu, korake moje ukrijepi.
3 And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
U usta mi stavi pjesmu novu, slavopoj Bogu našemu. Vidjet će mnogi i strah će ih obuzeti: uzdanje će svoje staviti u Jahvu.
4 Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
Blago čovjeku koji se u Jahvu uzda, koji ne ide za štovateljima lažnih bogova, za onima koji se predaju prijevari.
5 O Lord my God, you have multiplied your wonderful works, and in your thoughts there is none who shall be likened to you: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
Čudesa mnoga tvoriš, o Jahve, Bože moj, i namisli čudesne - ravna ti nema! Kazivat' ih i objavljivati želim, al' odveć ih je da bi se nabrojit' mogli.
6 Sacrifice and offering you would not; but a body have you prepared me: whole burnt offering and [sacrifice] for sin you did not require.
Nisu ti mile ni žrtve ni prinosi, nego si mi uši otvorio: paljenice ni okajnice ne tražiš.
7 Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
Tada rekoh: “Evo dolazim! U svitku knjige piše za mene:
8 I desired to do your will, O my God, and your law in the midst of mine heart.
Milje mi je, Bože moj, vršit volju tvoju, Zakon tvoj duboko u srcu ja nosim.”
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, you know my righteousness.
Tvoju ću pravdu naviještat' u velikom zboru, i usta svojih zatvoriti neću, o Jahve, sve ti je znano.
10 I have not hid your truth within my heart, and I have declared your salvation; I have not hid your mercy and your truth from the great congregation.
Tvoju pravdu neću kriti u srcu, kazivat ću vjernost tvoju i tvoj spas. Tajit neću dobrote tvoje, ni tvoje vjernosti velikoj skupštini.
11 But you, Lord, remove not your compassion far from me; your mercy and your truth have helped me continually.
A ti, o Jahve, milosrđa mi svog ne krati, dobrota tvoja i vjernost neka me svagda čuvaju.
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
Jer me okružiše nesreće nebrojene, krivice me moje sustigoše da gledat' ne mogu: više ih je no vlasi na glavi, i srce mi je stoga klonulo.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw near to help me.
Bilo ti milo, o Jahve, da me izbaviš; Gospodine, u pomoć mi pohitaj!
14 Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
Neka se postide i smetu svi koji mi o glavi rade. Nek' uzmaknu i neka se posrame koji se nesreći mojoj raduju!
15 Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
Neka se skamene u sramoti svojoj koji zlurado na me grohoću!
16 Let all those that seek you, O Lord, exult and rejoice in you; and let them that love your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Neka kliču i nek' se vesele u tebi svi koji te traže! Neka govore svagda: “Velik je Jahve!” svi koji spasenje tvoje ljube.
17 But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; you are my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
Bijedan sam ja i nevoljan, al' Jahve se brine za me. Ti si pomoć moja i moj spasitelj; o Bože moj, ne kasni!
