Psalms 143
1 A Melody of David. O Yahweh, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, In thy faithfulness, answer me, in thy righteousness.
Usliši mojo molitev, oh Gospod, pazljivo prisluhni mojim ponižnim prošnjam; odgovori mi v svoji zvestobi in v svoji pravičnosti.
2 Do not then enter into judgment with thy servant, for no one living, can appear just before thee.
Ne vstopi na sodbo s svojim služabnikom, kajti v tvojem pogledu noben živeč človek ne bo opravičen.
3 For an enemy hath pursued my soul, hath crushed, to the earth, my life, hath made me dwell in dark places, like the ancient dead.
Kajti sovražnik je preganjal mojo dušo, moje življenje je z udarcem zrušil k tlom; pripravil me je, da prebivam v temi, kakor tisti, ki so bili dolgo mrtvi.
4 Therefore hath my spirit, fainted concerning myself, Within me, hath, my heart, been confounded.
Zato je moj duh nadvladan znotraj mene, moje srce znotraj mene je zapuščeno.
5 I have remembered the days of aforetime, I have talked with myself of every deed of thine, Of the work of thy hands, I would speak:
Spominjam se dni iz davnine, premišljujem o vseh tvojih delih, razglabljam o delu tvojih rok.
6 I have spread out my hands unto thee, My soul, is as a thirsty land, for thee. (Selah)
Svoje roke iztegujem k tebi; mojo dušo žeja po tebi kakor žejno deželo. (Sela)
7 Speedily answer me, O Yahweh, My spirit faileth, —Do not hide thy face from me, or I shall be made like unto them who go down into the pit.
Naglo me usliši, oh Gospod, moj duh slabi. Svojega obraza ne skrivaj pred menoj, da ne bi bil podoben tem, ki gredo dol v jamo.
8 Let me hear, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, for, in thee, have, I trusted, —Let me know the way in which I should walk, for, unto thee, have I uplifted my soul.
Povzroči mi, da zjutraj slišim tvojo ljubečo skrbnost, kajti vate zaupam. Povzroči mi, da spoznam pot, po kateri naj hodim, kajti svojo dušo dvigujem k tebi.
9 Rescue me from my foes, O Yahweh, Unto thee, have I come seeking refuge.
Osvobodi me, oh Gospod, pred mojimi sovražniki. K tebi zbežim, da me skriješ.
10 Teach me to do thy good pleasure, for, thou, art my God, —Thy spirit, is good, thou wilt set me down to rest in a level land.
Úči me izpolnjevati tvojo voljo, kajti ti si moj Bog. Tvoj duh je dober, vodi me v deželo iskrenosti.
11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, wilt thou give unto me life, In thy righteousness, wilt thou bring forth, out of distress, my soul;
Oživi me, oh Gospod, zaradi svojega imena; zaradi svoje pravičnosti mojo dušo privedi iz stiske.
12 And, in thy lovingkindness, wilt thou exterminate my foes, —and destroy all the adversaries of my soul, because, I, am thy servant.
Zaradi svojega usmiljenja iztrebi moje sovražnike in uniči vse tiste, ki prizadevajo mojo dušo, kajti jaz sem tvoj služabnik.
