Psalmi 39
1 Rekoh: èuvaæu se na putovima svojim da ne zgriješim jezikom svojim; zauzdavaæu usta svoja, dok je bezbožnik preda mnom.
For the end, a Song of David, to Idithun. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I set a guard on my mouth, while the sinner stood in my presence.
2 Bijah nijem i glasa ne pustih; muèah i o dobru. Ali se tuga moja podiže,
I was dumb, and humbled myself, and kept silence from good [words]; and my grief was renewed.
3 Zapali se srce moje u meni, u mislima mojim razgorje se oganj; progovorih jezikom svojim:
My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my (meditation) I spoke with my tongue,
4 Kaži mi, Gospode, kraj moj, i dokle æe trajati dani moji? da znam kako sam ništa.
O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.
5 Evo s pedi dao si mi dane, i vijek je moj kao ništa pred tobom. Baš je ništa svaki èovjek živ.
Behold, thou hast made my days old; and my existence [is] as nothing before thee: nay, every man living [is] altogether vanity. (Pause)
6 Baš hodi èovjek kao utvara; baš se uzalud kida, sabira, a ne zna kome æe dopasti.
Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain: he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.
7 Pa šta da èekam, Gospode? Nad je moj u tebi.
And now what [is] my expectation? [is it] not the Lord? and my ground [of hope] is with thee. (Pause)
8 Iz svega bezakonja mojega izbavi me, ne daj me bezumnome na potsmijeh.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: thou hast made me a reproach to the foolish.
9 Nijem sam, neæu otvoriti usta svojijeh; jer si me ti udario.
I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; for thou art he that made me.
10 Olakšaj mi udarac svoj, silna ruka tvoja ubi me.
Remove thy scourges from me: I have fainted by reason of the strength of thine hand.
11 Ako æeš karati èovjeka za prijestupe, rastoèiæe se kao od moljaca krasota njegova. Baš je ništa svaki èovjek.
Thou chastenest man with rebukes for iniquity, and thou makest his life to consume away like a spider's web; nay, every man is disquieted in vain. (Pause)
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.
O Lord, hearken to my prayer and my supplication: attend to my tears: be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers [were].
13 Nemoj me više gnjevno gledati, pa æu odahnuti prije nego otidem i više me ne bude.
Spare me, that I may be refreshed, before I depart, and be no more.
