Psalmi 141
1 Gospod, k tebi kličem, pohiti k meni; pazljivo prisluhni mojemu glasu, ko kličem k tebi.
YHWH, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Naj bo moja molitev postavljena pred teboj kakor kadilo in dvigovanje mojih rok kakor večerno žrtvovanje.
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Postavi stražo, oh Gospod, pred moja usta; čuvaj vrata mojih ustnic.
Set a watch, O YHWH, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Mojega srca ne nagni h kakršnikoli zli stvari, da izvajam dela z ljudmi, ki počnejo krivičnost; in naj ne jem od njihovih slaščic.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Naj me pravični udari, to bo prijaznost in naj me graja; to bo odlično olje, ki ne bo zlomilo moje glave, ker bo vendar v njihovih katastrofah tudi moja molitev.
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 Kadar so njihovi sodniki premagani na kamnitih krajih, bodo slišali moje besede, kajti prijetne so.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Naše kosti so razkropljene ob ustih groba, kakor kadar nekdo seka in cepi les na zemlji. (Sheol h7585)
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
8 Toda moje oči so k tebi, oh Bog, Gospod; v tebi je moje trdno upanje, moje duše ne pusti zapuščene.
But mine eyes are unto thee, O Elohim YHWH: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Varuj me pred zankami, ki so jih položili zame in [pred] pastmi delavcev krivičnosti.
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Naj zlobni padejo v svoje lastne mreže, medtem ko jaz istočasno pobegnem.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
