Psalms 141

1 A Psalm by David. LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!

2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Nek' mi se uzdigne molitva kao kad pred lice tvoje, podizanje mojih ruku nek' bude k'o prinos večernji!

3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!

4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

Ne daj da mi se srce zlu prikloni, da bezbožno počinim djela opaka; i u društvu zlotvora da ne blagujem poslastica njihovih!

5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Nek' me samo udari pravednik, ljubav je što me kara, al' ulje grešničko neće mi glavu pomazat'; zloći njihovoj oprijet ću se uvijek svojom molitvom.

6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.

7 “As when one ploughs and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)

Kao kad orač ore i para zemlju, tako će im se na rubu Podzemlja kosti rasuti. (Sheol h7585)

8 For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!

9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!

10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
