Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
Molitev Davidova: Čuj, Gospod, pravico, poslušaj vpitje moje; uho nagni molitvi moji brez ustnic zvijačnih.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.
Od obličja tvojega izidi pravica moja; oči tvoje naj gledajo, kar je pravično.
3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I have purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
Ko bodeš preiskal srce moje, obiskal ponoči, preskušal me, ne najdeš; kar mislim, ne prestopi mojih ust.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
Pri delih človeških, po besedi ustnic tvojih opazujem steze silovitega.
5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
Ohrani korake moje na stezah svojih, da ne zaidejo moje noge.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, [and hear] my speech.
Jaz te kličem, ker me slišiš, Bog mogočni; nagni k meni uho svoje, poslušaj govor moj.
7 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
Odloči milosti svoje, o ti, ki otimaš preganjalcev pribegajoče na desnico tvojo.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.
Hrani me kakor zenico v očesu; sè senco peroti svojih skrivaj me:
9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] encompass me,
Zaradi krivičnih, ki me napadajo, sovražnikov mojih glavnih, ki me obdajajo.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
Mast svojo masté, z usti svojimi govoré prevzetno:
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
Hojo našo zdaj obdajajo nam; oči svoje obračajo vpirajoč v tla.
12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Podoba je vsakega kakor leva želečega zgrabiti, in kakor mladega leva čepečega v zakotji.
13 Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [who is] thy sword:
Vstani, Gospod, prehítí obličje njegovo; trešči ga, izpuli dušo mojo z mečem svojim krivičnemu.
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, [who have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes.
Ljudém izpuli v roko svojo, Gospod, ljudém od svetá, katerih delež je v tem življenji, katerim trebuh polniš sè skrivnim zakladom svojim; sitijo se sinovi in preobilost svojo zapuščajo otrokom svojim.
15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Jaz bodem v pravičnosti videl obličje tvoje, sitil se bodem, ko se zbudim, s podobo tvojo.
