Psalmi 143
1 Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, slušaj moju molitvu, u vjernosti svojoj prikloni uho mojim vapajima, u pravednosti me svojoj usliši!
[A Psalm by David.] Hear my prayer, Jehovah. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2 Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
3 Dušmanin mi dušu progoni, o zemlju pritisnu život moj; u tmine me baci da stanujem kao oni koji su davno umrli.
For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4 Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5 Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6 Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
7 Usliši me brzo, o Jahve, dah moj već je na izmaku! Lica svojeg preda mnom ne skrivaj, da ne postanem kao oni koji u grob silaze!
Hurry to answer me, Jehovah. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down into the pit.
8 Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
Deliver me, Jehovah, from my enemies. I run to you for refuge.
10 Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
Revive me, Jehovah, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
