< Psalms 141 >

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee.
Gospod, k tebi kličem, pohiti k meni; pazljivo prisluhni mojemu glasu, ko kličem k tebi.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
Naj bo moja molitev postavljena pred teboj kakor kadilo in dvigovanje mojih rok kakor večerno žrtvovanje.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Postavi stražo, oh Gospod, pred moja usta; čuvaj vrata mojih ustnic.
4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Mojega srca ne nagni h kakršnikoli zli stvari, da izvajam dela z ljudmi, ki počnejo krivičnost; in naj ne jem od njihovih slaščic.
5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.
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.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Kadar so njihovi sodniki premagani na kamnitih krajih, bodo slišali moje besede, kajti prijetne so.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Naše kosti so razkropljene ob ustih groba, kakor kadar nekdo seka in cepi les na zemlji. (Sheol h7585)
8 But my eyes [are] to thee, O GOD the LORD: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Toda moje oči so k tebi, oh Bog, Gospod; v tebi je moje trdno upanje, moje duše ne pusti zapuščene.
9 Keep me from the snare [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Varuj me pred zankami, ki so jih položili zame in [pred] pastmi delavcev krivičnosti.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I escape.
Naj zlobni padejo v svoje lastne mreže, medtem ko jaz istočasno pobegnem.
