Psalms 141

1 A Psalm by David. Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

Psalm Davidov. O Gospod, kličem te, hiti k meni; čuj glas moj, ko te kličem.

2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Molitev moja pridi kakor kadilo pred te; povzdigovanje mojih rok kakor dar večerni.

3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

Zloži Gospod, opazuj usta moja; straži karkoli izhaja z ustnic mojih.

4 Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

Ne daj, da se srce moje nagne k hudobni reči, dela doprinašat po krivici z možmi, ki delajo krivico; tudi naj ne uživam njih slaščic.

5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Udari naj me nazaj pravični, milost bode, in posvari me, mazilo bode izvrstno; ne brani se glava moja; čim bolj, tem bolj bode: molitev moja v njih nesrečah.

6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

Ali planejo dol raz skale njih sodniki; dasi umejo, da so govori moji prijetni.

7 “As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)

Kakor bi kdo razsekal in razklal zemljo, raztresejo se naše kosti, v groba žrelo. (Sheol h7585)

8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.

Ko se v té, Gospod, ozirajo moje oči, k tebi pribegnem, ne zapústi duše moje.

9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.

Reši me zadrge, katero so mi razpeli, in zank njih, ki delajo krivico.

10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

Padejo naj v mreže svoje vsi krivični, jaz pa pojdem mimo.
