Psalmi 40
1 Dugo èekah Gospoda, i saže se k meni, i èu viku moju.
To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody. I waited patiently for Yahweh, —And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;
2 Izvadi me iz jame, koja buèi, i iz gliba, i postavi na kamen noge moje, i utvrdi stope moje.
So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire, —And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:
3 I metnu u usta moja pjesmu novu, hvalu Bogu našemu. Vide mnogi, i poèinju se bojati Gospoda, i uzdati se u njega.
Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, —Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.
4 Blago onome koji na Gospoda stavlja nadanje svoje, i ne obraæa se oholima i onijem koji teže na laž.
How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.
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.
Mighty things, hast thou done—Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes towards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee—I would tell, and would speak!—They are too great to rehearse.
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 didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, —Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:
7 I po tome rekoh: evo idem, kao što je u knjizi pisano za mene;
Then, said I—Lo! I am come, In the written scroll, is it prescribed for me;
8 Hoæu èiniti volju tvoju, Bože moj, i zakon je tvoj meni u srcu.
To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:
9 Kazujem pravdu na saboru velikom; evo, usta svojih ne ustavljam; Gospode, ti znaš.
I have told the good-tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, 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.
Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.
11 Gospode, nemoj zatvoriti srca svojega od mene; milost tvoja i istina tvoja jednako neka me èuvaju.
Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over 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 there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!
13 Gospode, voljan budi izbaviti me, Gospode, pohitaj mi u pomoæ.
Be pleased, O Yahweh, to rescue me, O Yahweh! to help me, make haste!
14 Nek se postide i posrame svi koji traže pogibao duši mojoj! Nek se vrate natrag i postide koji mi žele zlo!
Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;
15 Nek se povrate u smetnji svojoj koji mi govore: ha! ha!
Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of 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 them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually—Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.
17 Ja sam nesreæan i ništ, neka se Gospod postara za me! Ti si pomoæ moja i izbavitelj moj, Bože moj, ne èasi.
But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, —My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!
