Psalms 40
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and listened to my supplication.
Potrpežljivo sem čakal na Gospoda in on se je nagnil k meni ter slišal moj klic.
2 And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
Privedel me je tudi iz strašne jame, ven iz blatnega ila in moja stopala je postavil na skalo in utrdil moje korake.
3 And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
V moja usta je položil novo pesem, celó hvalo našemu Bogu. Mnogi bodo to videli ter se bali in bodo zaupali v Gospoda.
4 Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
Blagoslovljen je tisti človek, ki svoje trdno upanje postavlja [v] Gospoda in ne spoštuje ponosnega niti takšnega, ki odvrača k lažem.
5 O Lord my God, you have multiplied your wonderful works, and in your thoughts there is none who shall be likened to you: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
Mnoga, oh Gospod, moj Bog, so tvoja čudovita dela, ki si jih storil in tvoje misli, ki so do nas, ne morejo biti po vrsti izračunane k tebi. Če želim oznaniti in govoriti o njih, jih je več, kakor jih je mogoče prešteti.
6 Sacrifice and offering you would not; but a body have you prepared me: whole burnt offering and [sacrifice] for sin you did not require.
Klavne daritve in darovanja si nisi zaželel, odprl si mi ušesa. Žgalne daritve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
7 Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
Potem sem rekel: »Glej! Prihajam. V zvezku knjige je zapisano o meni,
8 I desired to do your will, O my God, and your law in the midst of mine heart.
veselim se, da izpolnim tvojo voljo, oh moj Bog. Da, tvoja postava je znotraj mojega srca.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, you know my righteousness.
Oznanjal sem pravičnost v veliki skupnosti. Glej, svojih ustnic nisem zadrževal, oh Gospod, ti veš.
10 I have not hid your truth within my heart, and I have declared your salvation; I have not hid your mercy and your truth from the great congregation.
Tvoje pravičnosti nisem skrival v svojem srcu; oznanjal sem tvojo zvestobo in tvojo rešitev duše. Tvoje ljubeče skrbnosti in tvoje resnice nisem prikrival pred veliko skupnostjo.
11 But you, Lord, remove not your compassion far from me; your mercy and your truth have helped me continually.
Svojih nežnih usmiljenj ne zadržuj pred menoj, oh Gospod. Naj me nenehno varujeta tvoja ljubeča skrbnost in tvoja resnica.
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
Kajti obkrožila so me brezštevilna zla, polastile so se me moje krivičnosti, tako da nisem zmožen pogledati kvišku. Več jih je kakor las moje glave, zato mi peša srce.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw near to help me.
Bodi vesel, oh Gospod, da me osvobodiš. Oh Gospod, podvizaj se, da mi pomagaš.
14 Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
Naj bodo hkrati osramočeni in zbegani, ki strežejo po moji duši, da jo uničijo. Naj bodo odgnani nazaj in osramočeni tisti, ki mi želijo zlo.
15 Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
Naj bodo zapuščeni, za nagrado njihove sramote, ki mi pravijo: ›Aha, aha.‹
16 Let all those that seek you, O Lord, exult and rejoice in you; and let them that love your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Naj se vsi tisti, ki te iščejo, razveselijo in bodo veseli v tebi. Naj tisti, ki ljubijo tvojo rešitev duše, nenehno govorijo: ›Poveličan bodi, Gospod.‹
17 But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; you are my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
Toda jaz sem ubog in pomoči potreben, vendarle Gospod misli name. Ti si moja pomoč in moj osvoboditelj; ne mudi se, oh moj Bog.«
