Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, slušaj moju molitvu, u vjernosti svojoj prikloni uho mojim vapajima, u pravednosti me svojoj usliši!
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
Dušmanin mi dušu progoni, o zemlju pritisnu život moj; u tmine me baci da stanujem kao oni koji su davno umrli.
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
Usliši me brzo, o Jahve, dah moj već je na izmaku! Lica svojeg preda mnom ne skrivaj, da ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze!
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
