Psalms 40
1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody. I waited patiently for Yahweh, —And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;
Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Stanovitno sem čakal Gospoda, kateri je nagnivši se k meni slišal vpitje moje.
2 So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire, —And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:
In izpeljavši me iz jezera viharnega, iz blatne luže, postavil je nogo mojo na skalo, utrdil korake moje.
3 Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, —Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.
V usta moja je položil novo pesem, hvalno pesem našemu Bogu: videli bodo mnogi in bali se ter zaupali v Gospoda, govoreč:
4 How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.
Blagor možu, kateri stavi v Gospoda zaupanje svoje, ter se ne ozira v prevzetnike in lažnjivce.
5 Mighty things, hast thou done—Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes towards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee—I would tell, and would speak!—They are too great to rehearse.
Mnoga čuda svoja nam ti deliš, Gospod, Bog moj, in misli svoje za nas: nihče, ko jih pregledujem, ni tebi enak; če jih bodem oznanjal in pripovedoval, preštevilna so, da bi jih naštel.
6 Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, —Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:
Daritve in darú se nisi veselil, ušesa si mi prebodel; žgalne žrtve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
7 Then, said I—Lo! I am come, In the written scroll, is it prescribed for me;
Tedaj sem rekel: Glej, tu sem; v zvitku knjige je pisano o meni:
8 To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:
Veseli me delati voljo tvojo, Bog moj; in postava tvoja je v mojem osrčji.
9 I have told the good-tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, thou, knowest:
Pravico oznanjam v zboru velikem; glej, ustnam svojim ne branim, Gospod, ti veš.
10 Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.
Pravice tvoje ne skrivam v srci svojem: zvestobo tvojo in blaginjo tvojo pravim; ne prikrivam milosti tvoje in resnice tvoje velikemu zboru.
11 Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over me.
Ti, Gospod, ne odtezaj mi usmiljenja svojega; milost tvoja in resnica tvoja naj me hraniti vedno.
12 For there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!
Ker obdajajo me in napadajo nadloge brez števila; dohajajo me krivice moje tako, da pregledati ne morem; več jih je, ko glave moje làs; tudi srce moje me zapušča.
13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to rescue me, O Yahweh! to help me, make haste!
Blagovoli me oteti, Gospod; na pomoč mojo hiti, Gospod!
14 Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;
Osramoté se naj in z rudečino oblijó vsi vkup, ki iščejo duše moje, da jo pogubé; umaknejo se naj in onečastijo, kateri se veselé moje nadloge.
15 Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of me, Aha! Aha!
Zapuščeni naj bodo za plačilo sramote svoje, kateri pravijo meni: Prav, prav!
16 Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually—Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.
Veselé se naj in radujejo v tebi vsi, kateri te iščejo; govoré naj vedno: Poveličuj se Gospod, kateri ljubijo blaginjo tvojo.
17 But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, —My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!
Ubog sem res in potreben, ali Gospod misli name: pomoč si moja in rešitelj moj: Bog moj, ne múdi se.
