Psalms 140
1 Deliver me, O YHWH, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
Osvobodi me, oh Gospod, pred zlobnežem, varuj me pred nasilnežem,
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
ki si v svojem srcu domišljajo vragolije; nenehno so zbrani skupaj za vojno.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Svoje jezike so naostrili kakor kača, gadji strup je pod njihovimi ustnicami. (Sela)
4 Keep me, O YHWH, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Varuj me, oh Gospod, pred rokami zlobnih, ohrani me pred nasilnežem, ki se je namenil, da zruši moja ravnanja.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)
Ponosni so zame prikrili zanko in vrvi, ob poti so razprostrli mrežo, zame so nastavili pasti. (Sela)
6 I said unto YHWH, Thou art my El: hear the voice of my supplications, O YHWH.
Gospodu sem rekel: »Ti si moj Bog, usliši glas mojih ponižnih prošenj, oh Gospod.
7 O Elohim YHWH, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Oh Bog, Gospod, moč rešitve moje duše, mojo glavo si pokril na dan bitke.
8 Grant not, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Ne usliši, oh Gospod, želja zlobnih, nadalje ne njihovega zlobnega naklepa, da se ne bi poviševali.« (Sela)
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Glede glave tistih, ki me obdajajo, naj jih pokrije vragolija njihovih lastnih ustnic.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Naj nanje padajo goreči ogorki, naj bodo vrženi v ogenj, v globoke jame, da ne vstanejo ponovno.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Naj obrekovalec ne bo utrjen na zemlji, zlo naj lovi nasilneža, da ga premaga.
12 I know that YHWH will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
Vem, da bo Gospod podpiral zadevo prizadetega in pravico ubogega.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Zagotovo se bodo pravični zahvaljevali tvojemu imenu; iskreni bodo prebivali v tvoji prisotnosti.
