Psalms 143
1 “A psalm of David.” O Lord, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy 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 thy servant; for no living man can be regarded righteous before thee.
In ne hodi v sodbo s hlapcem svojim, ker pravičen bi ne bil pred teboj nihče, ki živi.
3 For the enemy hath pursued my soul; he hath crushed to the ground my life; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that are dead eternally.
Sovražnik namreč preganja dušo mojo; tlači na tla krdelo moje; dela, da sedevam v teminah; smo, kakor mrliči nekdaj.
4 And my spirit within me is overwhelmed: in my bosom is my heart astounded.
Tako, da duh moj v meni omaguje; sredi mene zdí se samo sebi zapuščeno srce moje.
5 I remember the days of olden times: I meditate on all thy doings: on the work of thy hands do I reflect.
Spominjam se dnî nekdanjih, premišljujem vse delo tvoje, dejanje tvojih rok preudarjam.
6 I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [longeth] for thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Roke svoje razprostiram proti tebi; duša moja, kakor zemlja razsušena, hrepeni po tebi:
7 Hasten, answer me, O Lord, my spirit falleth: hide not thy face from me, that I may not become like those 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 in the morning thy kindness; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way whereon I should walk; for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
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 my enemies: by thee do I seek shelter.
Otmi me sovražnikov mojih, Gospod; pri tebi sem skrit.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; guide me on a level land.
Uči me delati voljo tvojo, ker ti si moj Bog, z dobrim duhom svojim spremljaj me po ravni zemlji.
11 For thy sake, O Lord, revive me: in thy righteousness bring forth out of distress my soul.
Zavoljo imena svojega, Gospod, ohrani me živega; zavoljo pravice svoje izpelji iz stiske dušo mojo.
12 And in thy kindness destroy my enemies, and annihilate all the adversaries of my soul; far I am thy servant.
In zavoljo milosti svoje iztrebi sovražnike moje, pokončaj vse, ki stiskajo dušo; ker jaz sem hlapec tvoj.
