Psalms 40
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Stanovitno sem čakal Gospoda, kateri je nagnivši se k meni slišal vpitje moje.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
In izpeljavši me iz jezera viharnega, iz blatne luže, postavil je nogo mojo na skalo, utrdil korake moje.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
V usta moja je položil novo pesem, hvalno pesem našemu Bogu: videli bodo mnogi in bali se ter zaupali v Gospoda, govoreč:
4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Blagor možu, kateri stavi v Gospoda zaupanje svoje, ter se ne ozira v prevzetnike in lažnjivce.
5 Many, O LORD, my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
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 offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
Daritve in darú se nisi veselil, ušesa si mi prebodel; žgalne žrtve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
Tedaj sem rekel: Glej, tu sem; v zvitku knjige je pisano o meni:
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.
Veseli me delati voljo tvojo, Bog moj; in postava tvoja je v mojem osrčji.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
Pravico oznanjam v zboru velikem; glej, ustnam svojim ne branim, Gospod, ti veš.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
Pravice tvoje ne skrivam v srci svojem: zvestobo tvojo in blaginjo tvojo pravim; ne prikrivam milosti tvoje in resnice tvoje velikemu zboru.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Ti, Gospod, ne odtezaj mi usmiljenja svojega; milost tvoja in resnica tvoja naj me hraniti vedno.
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth 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 LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
Blagovoli me oteti, Gospod; na pomoč mojo hiti, Gospod!
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
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 desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
Zapuščeni naj bodo za plačilo sramote svoje, kateri pravijo meni: Prav, prav!
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
Veselé se naj in radujejo v tebi vsi, kateri te iščejo; govoré naj vedno: Poveličuj se Gospod, kateri ljubijo blaginjo tvojo.
17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the LORD thinketh upon me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
Ubog sem res in potreben, ali Gospod misli name: pomoč si moja in rešitelj moj: Bog moj, ne múdi se.
