< Psalms 143 >
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
Psalm Davidov. O Gospod, sliši molitev mojo; ušesa nagni k prošnjam mojim; po zvestobi svoji usliši me, po pravici svoji.
2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
In ne hodi v sodbo s hlapcem svojim, ker pravičen bi ne bil pred teboj nihče, ki živi.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Sovražnik namreč preganja dušo mojo; tlači na tla krdelo moje; dela, da sedevam v teminah; smo, kakor mrliči nekdaj.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Tako, da duh moj v meni omaguje; sredi mene zdí se samo sebi zapuščeno srce moje.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I meditate on the work of your hands.
Spominjam se dnî nekdanjih, premišljujem vse delo tvoje, dejanje tvojih rok preudarjam.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Roke svoje razprostiram proti tebi; duša moja, kakor zemlja razsušena, hrepeni po tebi:
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Hiti, usliši me, Gospod, duh moj hira; ne skrivaj mi obličja svojega, ker podoben postajam njim, ki gredó v grob dol.
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.
Daj, da slišim zgodaj milost tvojo, ker v té imam zaupanje; naznani mi pot, po kateri bodem hodil, ker do tebe povzdigujem srce svoje.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto you to hide me.
Otmi me sovražnikov mojih, Gospod; pri tebi sem skrit.
10 Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Uči me delati voljo tvojo, ker ti si moj Bog, z dobrim duhom svojim spremljaj me po ravni zemlji.
11 Restore life in me, O LORD, for your name's sake: for your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Zavoljo imena svojega, Gospod, ohrani me živega; zavoljo pravice svoje izpelji iz stiske dušo mojo.
12 And of your mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
In zavoljo milosti svoje iztrebi sovražnike moje, pokončaj vse, ki stiskajo dušo; ker jaz sem hlapec tvoj.
