Psalmi 141

1 Gospod, k tebi kličem, pohiti k meni; pazljivo prisluhni mojemu glasu, ko kličem k tebi.

[A Psalm by David.] LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly. Listen to my voice when I call to you.

2 Naj bo moja molitev postavljena pred teboj kakor kadilo in dvigovanje mojih rok kakor večerno žrtvovanje.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

3 Postavi stražo, oh Gospod, pred moja usta; čuvaj vrata mojih ustnic.

Set a watch, LORD, 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.

Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.

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 strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

6 Kadar so njihovi sodniki premagani na kamnitih krajih, bodo slišali moje besede, kajti prijetne so.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

7 Naše kosti so razkropljene ob ustih groba, kakor kadar nekdo seka in cepi les na zemlji. (Sheol h7585)

"As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." (Sheol h7585)

8 Toda moje oči so k tebi, oh Bog, Gospod; v tebi je moje trdno upanje, moje duše ne pusti zapuščene.

For my eyes are on you, LORD. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave my soul destitute.

9 Varuj me pred zankami, ki so jih položili zame in [pred] pastmi delavcev krivičnosti.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.

10 Naj zlobni padejo v svoje lastne mreže, medtem ko jaz istočasno pobegnem.

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
