Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
Usliši mojo molitev, oh Gospod, pazljivo prisluhni mojim ponižnim prošnjam; odgovori mi v svoji zvestobi in v svoji pravičnosti.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Ne vstopi na sodbo s svojim služabnikom, kajti v tvojem pogledu noben živeč človek ne bo opravičen.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
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.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Zato je moj duh nadvladan znotraj mene, moje srce znotraj mene je zapuščeno.
5 I remember the days of old, I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Spominjam se dni iz davnine, premišljujem o vseh tvojih delih, razglabljam o delu tvojih rok.
6 I stretch forth my hands to thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Svoje roke iztegujem k tebi; mojo dušo žeja po tebi kakor žejno deželo. (Sela)
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like them that go down into the pit.
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.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way in which I should walk; for I lift up my soul to thee.
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.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to thee to hide me.
Osvobodi me, oh Gospod, pred mojimi sovražniki. K tebi zbežim, da me skriješ.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou [art] my God: thy spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Úči me izpolnjevati tvojo voljo, kajti ti si moj Bog. Tvoj duh je dober, vodi me v deželo iskrenosti.
11 Revive me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Oživi me, oh Gospod, zaradi svojega imena; zaradi svoje pravičnosti mojo dušo privedi iz stiske.
12 And of thy mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] thy servant.
Zaradi svojega usmiljenja iztrebi moje sovražnike in uniči vse tiste, ki prizadevajo mojo dušo, kajti jaz sem tvoj služabnik.
