Psalmi 143
1 Usliši mojo molitev, oh Gospod, pazljivo prisluhni mojim ponižnim prošnjam; odgovori mi v svoji zvestobi in v svoji pravičnosti.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your 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 your servant: for in your 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 has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has 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.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
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 your works; I muse on the work of your hands.
6 Svoje roke iztegujem k tebi; mojo dušo žeja po tebi kakor žejno deželo. (Sela)
I stretch forth my hands to you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty 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.
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like to 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 your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Osvobodi me, oh Gospod, pred mojimi sovražniki. K tebi zbežim, da me skriješ.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to you to hide me.
10 Úči me izpolnjevati tvojo voljo, kajti ti si moj Bog. Tvoj duh je dober, vodi me v deželo iskrenosti.
Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Oživi me, oh Gospod, zaradi svojega imena; zaradi svoje pravičnosti mojo dušo privedi iz stiske.
Quicken me, O LORD, for your name’s sake: for your righteousness’ sake 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 of your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
