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. Hear my prayer, Yahweh; listen to my pleas. Because of your faithfulness and righteousness, answer me!
2 Ne vstopi na sodbo s svojim služabnikom, kajti v tvojem pogledu noben živeč človek ne bo opravičen.
Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no one is righteous.
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.
The enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed me to the ground; he has made me to live in darkness like those who have been dead a long time.
4 Zato je moj duh nadvladan znotraj mene, moje srce znotraj mene je zapuščeno.
My spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart despairs.
5 Spominjam se dni iz davnine, premišljujem o vseh tvojih delih, razglabljam o delu tvojih rok.
I call to mind the old days; I meditate on all your deeds; I reflect on your accomplishments.
6 Svoje roke iztegujem k tebi; mojo dušo žeja po tebi kakor žejno deželo. (Sela)
I spread my hands out to you; my soul thirsts for you in a parched 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 quickly, Yahweh, because my spirit faints. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those who 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.
Let me hear your covenant faithfulness in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way where 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.
Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh; I flee to you to hide.
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. May your good Spirit lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Oživi me, oh Gospod, zaradi svojega imena; zaradi svoje pravičnosti mojo dušo privedi iz stiske.
Yahweh, for your name's sake, keep me alive; in your 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.
In your covenant faithfulness cut off my enemies and destroy all the enemies of my life, for I am your servant.
