Psalms 40
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry.
Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Stanovitno sem čakal Gospoda, kateri je nagnivši se k meni slišal vpitje moje.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
In izpeljavši me iz jezera viharnega, iz blatne luže, postavil je nogo mojo na skalo, utrdil korake moje.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
V usta moja je položil novo pesem, hvalno pesem našemu Bogu: videli bodo mnogi in bali se ter zaupali v Gospoda, govoreč:
4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
Blagor možu, kateri stavi v Gospoda zaupanje svoje, ter se ne ozira v prevzetnike in lažnjivce.
5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
Mnoga čuda svoja nam ti deliš, Gospod, Bog moj, in misli svoje za nas: nihče, ko jih pregledujem, ni tebi enak; če jih bodem oznanjal in pripovedoval, preštevilna so, da bi jih naštel.
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
Daritve in darú se nisi veselil, ušesa si mi prebodel; žgalne žrtve in daritve za greh nisi zahteval.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
Tedaj sem rekel: Glej, tu sem; v zvitku knjige je pisano o meni:
8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”
Veseli me delati voljo tvojo, Bog moj; in postava tvoja je v mojem osrčji.
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.
Pravico oznanjam v zboru velikem; glej, ustnam svojim ne branim, Gospod, ti veš.
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
Pravice tvoje ne skrivam v srci svojem: zvestobo tvojo in blaginjo tvojo pravim; ne prikrivam milosti tvoje in resnice tvoje velikemu zboru.
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
Ti, Gospod, ne odtezaj mi usmiljenja svojega; milost tvoja in resnica tvoja naj me hraniti vedno.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
Ker obdajajo me in napadajo nadloge brez števila; dohajajo me krivice moje tako, da pregledati ne morem; več jih je, ko glave moje làs; tudi srce moje me zapušča.
13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
Blagovoli me oteti, Gospod; na pomoč mojo hiti, Gospod!
14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
Osramoté se naj in z rudečino oblijó vsi vkup, ki iščejo duše moje, da jo pogubé; umaknejo se naj in onečastijo, kateri se veselé moje nadloge.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
Zapuščeni naj bodo za plačilo sramote svoje, kateri pravijo meni: Prav, prav!
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Yahweh be exalted!”
Veselé se naj in radujejo v tebi vsi, kateri te iščejo; govoré naj vedno: Poveličuj se Gospod, kateri ljubijo blaginjo tvojo.
17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.
Ubog sem res in potreben, ali Gospod misli name: pomoč si moja in rešitelj moj: Bog moj, ne múdi se.
