Psalmi 143
1 Usliši mojo molitev, oh Gospod, pazljivo prisluhni mojim ponižnim prošnjam; odgovori mi v svoji zvestobi in v svoji pravičnosti.
A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
2 Ne vstopi na sodbo s svojim služabnikom, kajti v tvojem pogledu noben živeč človek ne bo opravičen.
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Kajti sovražnik je preganjal mojo dušo, moje življenje je z udarcem zrušil k tlom; pripravil me je, da prebivam v temi, kakor tisti, ki so bili dolgo mrtvi.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Zato je moj duh nadvladan znotraj mene, moje srce znotraj mene je zapuščeno.
And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
5 Spominjam se dni iz davnine, premišljujem o vseh tvojih delih, razglabljam o delu tvojih rok.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
6 Svoje roke iztegujem k tebi; mojo dušo žeja po tebi kakor žejno deželo. (Sela)
I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
7 Naglo me usliši, oh Gospod, moj duh slabi. Svojega obraza ne skrivaj pred menoj, da ne bi bil podoben tem, ki gredo dol v jamo.
Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
8 Povzroči mi, da zjutraj slišim tvojo ljubečo skrbnost, kajti vate zaupam. Povzroči mi, da spoznam pot, po kateri naj hodim, kajti svojo dušo dvigujem k tebi.
Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
9 Osvobodi me, oh Gospod, pred mojimi sovražniki. K tebi zbežim, da me skriješ.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
10 Úči me izpolnjevati tvojo voljo, kajti ti si moj Bog. Tvoj duh je dober, vodi me v deželo iskrenosti.
Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
11 Oživi me, oh Gospod, zaradi svojega imena; zaradi svoje pravičnosti mojo dušo privedi iz stiske.
For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Zaradi svojega usmiljenja iztrebi moje sovražnike in uniči vse tiste, ki prizadevajo mojo dušo, kajti jaz sem tvoj služabnik.
And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
