Psalms 143
1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, slušaj moju molitvu, u vjernosti svojoj prikloni uho mojim vapajima, u pravednosti me svojoj usliši!
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
Ne idi na sud sa slugom svojim, jer nitko živ nije pravedan pred tobom!
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
Dušmanin mi dušu progoni, o zemlju pritisnu život moj; u tmine me baci da stanujem kao oni koji su davno umrli.
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
Duh moj već zamire u meni, srce mi trne u grudima.
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
Spominjem se dana minulih, mislim o svim djelima tvojim, o djelima ruku tvojih razmišljam.
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
Ruke svoje za tobom pružam, duša moja k'o suha zemlja za tobom žeđa.
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
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!
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
Objavi mi jutrom dobrotu svoju jer se uzdam u tebe. Put mi kaži kojim ću krenuti jer k tebi dušu uzdižem.
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
Izbavi me, Jahve, od mojih dušmana, tebi ja se utječem.
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
Nauči me da vršim volju tvoju jer ti si Bog moj. Duh tvoj dobri nek' me po ravnu putu vodi!
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
Zbog imena svog, Jahve, poživi me, zbog svoje pravednosti dušu mi izvedi iz tjeskobe!
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
Po svojoj dobroti satri moje dušmane, uništi sve moje tlačitelje, jer ja sam sluga tvoj!
