Psalms 40
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
Potrpežljivo sem čakal na Gospoda in on se je nagnil k meni ter slišal moj klic.
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.
Privedel me je tudi iz strašne jame, ven iz blatnega ila in moja stopala je postavil na skalo in utrdil moje korake.
3 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
V moja usta je položil novo pesem, celó hvalo našemu Bogu. Mnogi bodo to videli ter se bali in bodo zaupali v Gospoda.
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.
Blagoslovljen je tisti človek, ki svoje trdno upanje postavlja [v] Gospoda in ne spoštuje ponosnega niti takšnega, ki odvrača k lažem.
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, oh Gospod, moj Bog, so tvoja čudovita dela, ki si jih storil in tvoje misli, ki so do nas, ne morejo biti po vrsti izračunane k tebi. Če želim oznaniti in govoriti o njih, jih je več, kakor jih je mogoče prešteti.
6 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
Klavne daritve in darovanja si nisi zaželel, odprl si mi ušesa. Žgalne daritve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
7 Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,
Potem sem rekel: »Glej! Prihajam. V zvezku knjige je zapisano o meni,
8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.
veselim se, da izpolnim tvojo voljo, oh moj Bog. Da, tvoja postava je znotraj mojega srca.
9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.
Oznanjal sem pravičnost v veliki skupnosti. Glej, svojih ustnic nisem zadrževal, oh Gospod, ti veš.
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.
Tvoje pravičnosti nisem skrival v svojem srcu; oznanjal sem tvojo zvestobo in tvojo rešitev duše. Tvoje ljubeče skrbnosti in tvoje resnice nisem prikrival pred veliko skupnostjo.
11 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.
Svojih nežnih usmiljenj ne zadržuj pred menoj, oh Gospod. Naj me nenehno varujeta tvoja ljubeča skrbnost in tvoja resnica.
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.
Kajti obkrožila so me brezštevilna zla, polastile so se me moje krivičnosti, tako da nisem zmožen pogledati kvišku. Več jih je kakor las moje glave, zato mi peša srce.
13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.
Bodi vesel, oh Gospod, da me osvobodiš. Oh Gospod, podvizaj se, da mi pomagaš.
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.
Naj bodo hkrati osramočeni in zbegani, ki strežejo po moji duši, da jo uničijo. Naj bodo odgnani nazaj in osramočeni tisti, ki mi želijo zlo.
15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'
Naj bodo zapuščeni, za nagrado njihove sramote, ki mi pravijo: ›Aha, aha.‹
16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'
Naj se vsi tisti, ki te iščejo, razveselijo in bodo veseli v tebi. Naj tisti, ki ljubijo tvojo rešitev duše, nenehno govorijo: ›Poveličan bodi, 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.
Toda jaz sem ubog in pomoči potreben, vendarle Gospod misli name. Ti si moja pomoč in moj osvoboditelj; ne mudi se, oh moj Bog.«
