Psalms 143
1 [A Psalm by David.] Hear my prayer, Jehovah. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
Psalm Davidov. O Gospod, sliši molitev mojo; ušesa nagni k prošnjam mojim; po zvestobi svoji usliši me, po pravici svoji.
2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
In ne hodi v sodbo s hlapcem svojim, ker pravičen bi ne bil pred teboj nihče, ki živi.
3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who 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 my spirit is 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 doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
Spominjam se dnî nekdanjih, premišljujem vse delo tvoje, dejanje tvojih rok preudarjam.
6 I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
Roke svoje razprostiram proti tebi; duša moja, kakor zemlja razsušena, hrepeni po tebi:
7 Hurry to answer me, Jehovah. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who 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 I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to 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, Jehovah, from my enemies. I run to you for refuge.
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 in the land of uprightness.
Uči me delati voljo tvojo, ker ti si moj Bog, z dobrim duhom svojim spremljaj me po ravni zemlji.
11 Revive me, Jehovah, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Zavoljo imena svojega, Gospod, ohrani me živega; zavoljo pravice svoje izpelji iz stiske dušo mojo.
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who 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.
