Psalms 143
1 Yahweh, hear me while I pray to you! Because you are righteous and because you faithfully do what you have promised, listen to what I am pleading that you [do for me].
Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, slušaj moju molitvu, u vjernosti svojoj prikloni uho mojim vapajima, u pravednosti me svojoj usliši!
2 I am one who serves you; do not judge me, because you know that everyone has done things that are wrong).
Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
3 [My] enemies have pursued me; they have completely defeated me. [It is as though] they have put me in a dark [prison], where I [have nothing good to] ([hope for/expect]), like those who died long ago [SIM].
Dušmanin mi dušu progoni, o zemlju pritisnu život moj; u tmine me baci da stanujem kao oni koji su davno umrli.
4 So I am very discouraged; I am very dismayed/worried.
Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
5 I remember what has happened previously: I (meditate on/think about) all the things that you have done; I consider [all] the [great] deeds that you [SYN] have performed.
Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
6 I lift up my hands/arms to you while I pray; I [SYN] need you, like very dry ground [needs rain] [SIM].
Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
7 Yahweh, I am very discouraged, [so] please answer me right now! Do not hide from me, because if you do that, I will [soon] be [SIM] among those who descend to where the dead people are.
Usliši me brzo, o Jahve, dah moj već je na izmaku! Lica svojeg preda mnom ne skrivaj, da ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze!
8 [Every] morning cause me to remember that you faithfully love [me], because I trust in you. I (pray/send my prayers up [IDM]) to you; show me what I should do.
Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
9 Yahweh, I have gone/run to you to be protected, [so] rescue me from my enemies.
Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
10 You are my God; teach me to do what you want me to do. I want your good Spirit to lead me on a path that is not difficult to walk on.
Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
11 Yahweh, restore me when I am close to dying, as you promised to do. Because you are righteous/good, rescue me from my troubles/difficulties!
Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
12 I am one who serves you; so because you faithfully love [me], kill my enemies and get rid of all those who (oppress/cause trouble for) me.
Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
