Psalms 141

1 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.

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

2 My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.

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

3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.

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

4 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.

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

5 The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.

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 have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.

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

7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)

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

8 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.

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

9 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.

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

10 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!

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