Psalms 141

1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!

Psalm Davidov. O Gospod, kličem te, hiti k meni; čuj glas moj, ko te kličem.

2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.

Molitev moja pridi kakor kadilo pred te; povzdigovanje mojih rok kakor dar večerni.

3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.

Zloži Gospod, opazuj usta moja; straži karkoli izhaja z ustnic mojih.

4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.

Ne daj, da se srce moje nagne k hudobni reči, dela doprinašat po krivici z možmi, ki delajo krivico; tudi naj ne uživam njih slaščic.

5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.

Udari naj me nazaj pravični, milost bode, in posvari me, mazilo bode izvrstno; ne brani se glava moja; čim bolj, tem bolj bode: molitev moja v njih nesrečah.

6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!

Ali planejo dol raz skale njih sodniki; dasi umejo, da so govori moji prijetni.

7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

Kakor bi kdo razsekal in razklal zemljo, raztresejo se naše kosti, v groba žrelo. (Sheol h7585)

8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!

Ko se v té, Gospod, ozirajo moje oči, k tebi pribegnem, ne zapústi duše moje.

9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.

Reši me zadrge, katero so mi razpeli, in zank njih, ki delajo krivico.

10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.

Padejo naj v mreže svoje vsi krivični, jaz pa pojdem mimo.
