Psalms 143
1 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
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 hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
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 in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
5 I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
6 I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I 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 mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:
Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:
Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
11 For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:
Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
12 And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
