Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
Molitev Davidova: Čuj, Gospod, pravico, poslušaj vpitje moje; uho nagni molitvi moji brez ustnic zvijačnih.
2 Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
Od obličja tvojega izidi pravica moja; oči tvoje naj gledajo, kar je pravično.
3 Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
Ko bodeš preiskal srce moje, obiskal ponoči, preskušal me, ne najdeš; kar mislim, ne prestopi mojih ust.
4 As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
Pri delih človeških, po besedi ustnic tvojih opazujem steze silovitega.
5 My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
Ohrani korake moje na stezah svojih, da ne zaidejo moje noge.
6 As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
Jaz te kličem, ker me slišiš, Bog mogočni; nagni k meni uho svoje, poslušaj govor moj.
7 Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
Odloči milosti svoje, o ti, ki otimaš preganjalcev pribegajoče na desnico tvojo.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
Hrani me kakor zenico v očesu; sè senco peroti svojih skrivaj me:
9 From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
Zaradi krivičnih, ki me napadajo, sovražnikov mojih glavnih, ki me obdajajo.
10 Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
Mast svojo masté, z usti svojimi govoré prevzetno:
11 At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
Hojo našo zdaj obdajajo nam; oči svoje obračajo vpirajoč v tla.
12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
Podoba je vsakega kakor leva želečega zgrabiti, in kakor mladega leva čepečega v zakotji.
13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
Vstani, Gospod, prehítí obličje njegovo; trešči ga, izpuli dušo mojo z mečem svojim krivičnemu.
14 From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
Ljudém izpuli v roko svojo, Gospod, ljudém od svetá, katerih delež je v tem življenji, katerim trebuh polniš sè skrivnim zakladom svojim; sitijo se sinovi in preobilost svojo zapuščajo otrokom svojim.
15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
Jaz bodem v pravičnosti videl obličje tvoje, sitil se bodem, ko se zbudim, s podobo tvojo.
