Psalmi 40
1 Potrpežljivo sem čakal na Gospoda in on se je nagnil k meni ter slišal moj klic.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. I waited patiently for Yahweh; he listened to me and heard my cry.
2 Privedel me je tudi iz strašne jame, ven iz blatnega ila in moja stopala je postavil na skalo in utrdil moje korake.
He brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet on a rock and made my steps secure.
3 V moja usta je položil novo pesem, celó hvalo našemu Bogu. Mnogi bodo to videli ter se bali in bodo zaupali v Gospoda.
He has put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God. Many will see it and honor him and will trust in Yahweh.
4 Blagoslovljen je tisti človek, ki svoje trdno upanje postavlja [v] Gospoda in ne spoštuje ponosnega niti takšnega, ki odvrača k lažem.
Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust and does not honor the proud or those who turn away from him to lies.
5 Mnoga, oh Gospod, moj Bog, so tvoja čudovita dela, ki si jih storil in tvoje misli, ki so do nas, ne morejo biti po vrsti izračunane k tebi. Če želim oznaniti in govoriti o njih, jih je več, kakor jih je mogoče prešteti.
Many, Yahweh my God, are the wonderful deeds that you have done, and your thoughts which are about us cannot be numbered; if I declared and spoke of them, they would be more than could be counted.
6 Klavne daritve in darovanja si nisi zaželel, odprl si mi ušesa. Žgalne daritve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
You have no delight in sacrifice or offering, but you have opened my ears; you have not required burnt offerings or sin offerings.
7 Potem sem rekel: »Glej! Prihajam. V zvezku knjige je zapisano o meni,
Then said I, “See, I have come; it is written about me in the scroll of the document.
8 veselim se, da izpolnim tvojo voljo, oh moj Bog. Da, tvoja postava je znotraj mojega srca.
I delight to do your will, my God; your laws are in my heart.”
9 Oznanjal sem pravičnost v veliki skupnosti. Glej, svojih ustnic nisem zadrževal, oh Gospod, ti veš.
I have proclaimed good news of your righteousness in the great assembly; Yahweh, you know that my lips have not kept back from doing this.
10 Tvoje pravičnosti nisem skrival v svojem srcu; oznanjal sem tvojo zvestobo in tvojo rešitev duše. Tvoje ljubeče skrbnosti in tvoje resnice nisem prikrival pred veliko skupnostjo.
I have not concealed your righteousness in my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your covenant faithfulness or your trustworthiness from the great assembly.
11 Svojih nežnih usmiljenj ne zadržuj pred menoj, oh Gospod. Naj me nenehno varujeta tvoja ljubeča skrbnost in tvoja resnica.
Do not keep back your acts of mercy from me, Yahweh; let your covenant faithfulness and your trustworthiness always preserve me.
12 Kajti obkrožila so me brezštevilna zla, polastile so se me moje krivičnosti, tako da nisem zmožen pogledati kvišku. Več jih je kakor las moje glave, zato mi peša srce.
Troubles that cannot be numbered surround me; my iniquities have caught up with me so that I am no longer able to see anything; they are more than the hairs on my head, and my heart has failed me.
13 Bodi vesel, oh Gospod, da me osvobodiš. Oh Gospod, podvizaj se, da mi pomagaš.
Be pleased, Yahweh, to rescue me; hurry to help me, Yahweh.
14 Naj bodo hkrati osramočeni in zbegani, ki strežejo po moji duši, da jo uničijo. Naj bodo odgnani nazaj in osramočeni tisti, ki mi želijo zlo.
Let them be ashamed and completely disappointed who pursue my life to take it away. Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who delight in hurting me.
15 Naj bodo zapuščeni, za nagrado njihove sramote, ki mi pravijo: ›Aha, aha.‹
Let them be shocked because of their shame, those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
16 Naj se vsi tisti, ki te iščejo, razveselijo in bodo veseli v tebi. Naj tisti, ki ljubijo tvojo rešitev duše, nenehno govorijo: ›Poveličan bodi, Gospod.‹
But may all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let everyone who loves your salvation say continually, “May Yahweh be praised.”
17 Toda jaz sem ubog in pomoči potreben, vendarle Gospod misli name. Ti si moja pomoč in moj osvoboditelj; ne mudi se, oh moj Bog.«
I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks about me. You are my help and you come to my rescue; do not delay, my God.
