Psalmi 39

1 Rekoh: èuvaæu se na putovima svojim da ne zgriješim jezikom svojim; zauzdavaæu usta svoja, dok je bezbožnik preda mnom.

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

2 Bijah nijem i glasa ne pustih; muèah i o dobru. Ali se tuga moja podiže,

I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

3 Zapali se srce moje u meni, u mislima mojim razgorje se oganj; progovorih jezikom svojim:

My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 Kaži mi, Gospode, kraj moj, i dokle æe trajati dani moji? da znam kako sam ništa.

“Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

5 Evo s pedi dao si mi dane, i vijek je moj kao ništa pred tobom. Baš je ništa svaki èovjek živ.

You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath.

6 Baš hodi èovjek kao utvara; baš se uzalud kida, sabira, a ne zna kome æe dopasti.

Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

7 Pa šta da èekam, Gospode? Nad je moj u tebi.

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

8 Iz svega bezakonja mojega izbavi me, ne daj me bezumnome na potsmijeh.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

9 Nijem sam, neæu otvoriti usta svojijeh; jer si me ti udario.

I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

10 Olakšaj mi udarac svoj, silna ruka tvoja ubi me.

Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

11 Ako æeš karati èovjeka za prijestupe, rastoèiæe se kao od moljaca krasota njegova. Baš je ništa svaki èovjek.

You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor.

12 Slušaj molitvu moju, Gospode, i èuj jauk moj. Gledajuæi suze moje nemoj muèati. Jer sam gost u tebe i došljak kao i svi stari moji.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

13 Nemoj me više gnjevno gledati, pa æu odahnuti prije nego otidem i više me ne bude.

Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”
