Psalms 141

1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.

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

2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.

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

3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.

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

4 Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.

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

5 The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.

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 Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,

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

7 as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell. (Sheol h7585)

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

8 For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.

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

9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.

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

10 The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.

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