Psalms 141

1 A Psalm. Of David. Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.

Psalam. Davidov. Prizivljem te, Jahve, k meni pohitaj! Slušaj glas moj kojim tebi vapijem!

2 Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.

Nek' mi se uzdigne molitva kao kad pred lice tvoje, podizanje mojih ruku nek' bude k'o prinos večernji!

3 O Lord, keep a watch over my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Na usta mi, Jahve, stražu postavi i stražare na vrata usana mojih!

4 Keep my heart from desiring any evil thing, or from taking part in the sins of the evil-doers with men who do wrong: and let me have no part in their good things.

Ne daj da mi se srce zlu prikloni, da bezbožno počinim djela opaka; i u društvu zlotvora da ne blagujem poslastica njihovih!

5 Let the upright give me punishment; and let the god-fearing man put me in the right way; but I will not let the oil of sinners come on my head: when they do evil I will give myself to prayer.

Nek' me samo udari pravednik, ljubav je što me kara, al' ulje grešničko neće mi glavu pomazat'; zloći njihovoj oprijet ću se uvijek svojom molitvom.

6 When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.

Kad strovale niz hridinu suce njihove, razumjet će kako blage bjehu riječi moje.

7 Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough. (Sheol h7585)

Kao kad orač ore i para zemlju, tako će im se na rubu Podzemlja kosti rasuti. (Sheol h7585)

8 But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.

U te su, Jahve, uprte oči moje, k tebi se utječem, ne daj da mi duša propadne!

9 Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.

Čuvaj me od stupice koju postaviše meni, od zamki zločinaca!

10 Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.

Nek' u vlastite zamke upadnu zlotvori, a ja neka im umaknem!
