Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, slušaj moju molitvu, u vjernosti svojoj prikloni uho mojim vapajima, u pravednosti me svojoj usliši!
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
3 For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
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 is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
7 Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down 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 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
