Psalms 40

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,

Dugo èekah Gospoda, i saže se k meni, i èu viku moju.

2 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation — from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.

Izvadi me iz jame, koja buèi, i iz gliba, i postavi na kamen noge moje, i utvrdi stope moje.

3 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.

I metnu u usta moja pjesmu novu, hvalu Bogu našemu. Vide mnogi, i poèinju se bojati Gospoda, i uzdati se u njega.

4 O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

Blago onome koji na Gospoda stavlja nadanje svoje, i ne obraæa se oholima i onijem koji teže na laž.

5 Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

Mnoga su èudesa tvoja, koja si uèinio, Gospode, Bože moj, i mnoge su misli tvoje s nama. Nema ti ravna. Htio bih javljati i kazivati, ali im broja nema.

6 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.

Žrtve i darova neæeš; ti si mi uši otvorio; žrtve paljenice i koja se za grijeh prinosi ne tražiš.

7 Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,

I po tome rekoh: evo idem, kao što je u knjizi pisano za mene;

8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.

Hoæu èiniti volju tvoju, Bože moj, i zakon je tvoj meni u srcu.

9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.

Kazujem pravdu na saboru velikom; evo, usta svojih ne ustavljam; Gospode, ti znaš.

10 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

Pravde tvoje ne sakrivam u srcu svom, kazujem vjernost tvoju i spasenje tvoje; i ne tajim milosti tvoje i istine tvoje od sabora velikog.

11 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.

Gospode, nemoj zatvoriti srca svojega od mene; milost tvoja i istina tvoja jednako neka me èuvaju.

12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

Jer me opkoliše zla nebrojena; stigoše me nepravde moje, da ne mogu gledati; ima ih više nego kose na glavi mojoj, srce me moje ostavi.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.

Gospode, voljan budi izbaviti me, Gospode, pohitaj mi u pomoæ.

14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

Nek se postide i posrame svi koji traže pogibao duši mojoj! Nek se vrate natrag i postide koji mi žele zlo!

15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'

Nek se povrate u smetnji svojoj koji mi govore: ha! ha!

16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'

Neka se tješe i vesele tobom svi koji traže tebe, Gospode, i koji ljube spasenje tvoje, neka jednako govore: velik Gospod!

17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.

Ja sam nesreæan i ništ, neka se Gospod postara za me! Ti si pomoæ moja i izbavitelj moj, Bože moj, ne èasi.
