Psalmi 40
1 Dugo èekah Gospoda, i saže se k meni, i èu viku moju.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 Izvadi me iz jame, koja buèi, i iz gliba, i postavi na kamen noge moje, i utvrdi stope moje.
He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.
3 I metnu u usta moja pjesmu novu, hvalu Bogu našemu. Vide mnogi, i poèinju se bojati Gospoda, i uzdati se u njega.
And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blago onome koji na Gospoda stavlja nadanje svoje, i ne obraæa se oholima i onijem koji teže na laž.
Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.
5 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.
Many things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.
6 Žrtve i darova neæeš; ti si mi uši otvorio; žrtve paljenice i koja se za grijeh prinosi ne tražiš.
Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.
7 I po tome rekoh: evo idem, kao što je u knjizi pisano za mene;
Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;
8 Hoæu èiniti volju tvoju, Bože moj, i zakon je tvoj meni u srcu.
I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'
9 Kazujem pravdu na saboru velikom; evo, usta svojih ne ustavljam; Gospode, ti znaš.
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.
10 Pravde tvoje ne sakrivam u srcu svom, kazujem vjernost tvoju i spasenje tvoje; i ne tajim milosti tvoje i istine tvoje od sabora velikog.
I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Gospode, nemoj zatvoriti srca svojega od mene; milost tvoja i istina tvoja jednako neka me èuvaju.
Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.
12 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.
For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.
13 Gospode, voljan budi izbaviti me, Gospode, pohitaj mi u pomoæ.
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.
14 Nek se postide i posrame svi koji traže pogibao duši mojoj! Nek se vrate natrag i postide koji mi žele zlo!
Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.
15 Nek se povrate u smetnji svojoj koji mi govore: ha! ha!
Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'
16 Neka se tješe i vesele tobom svi koji traže tebe, Gospode, i koji ljube spasenje tvoje, neka jednako govore: velik Gospod!
Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'The LORD be magnified.'
17 Ja sam nesreæan i ništ, neka se Gospod postara za me! Ti si pomoæ moja i izbavitelj moj, Bože moj, ne èasi.
But, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.
