Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, that goeth not out of deceitful lips.
Molitev Davidova: Čuj, Gospod, pravico, poslušaj vpitje moje; uho nagni molitvi moji brez ustnic zvijačnih.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.
Od obličja tvojega izidi pravica moja; oči tvoje naj gledajo, kar je pravično.
3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Ko bodeš preiskal srce moje, obiskal ponoči, preskušal me, ne najdeš; kar mislim, ne prestopi mojih ust.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
Pri delih človeških, po besedi ustnic tvojih opazujem steze silovitega.
5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
Ohrani korake moje na stezah svojih, da ne zaidejo moje noge.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, and hear my speech.
Jaz te kličem, ker me slišiš, Bog mogočni; nagni k meni uho svoje, poslušaj govor moj.
7 Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
Odloči milosti svoje, o ti, ki otimaš preganjalcev pribegajoče na desnico tvojo.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Hrani me kakor zenico v očesu; sè senco peroti svojih skrivaj me:
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who surround me.
Zaradi krivičnih, ki me napadajo, sovražnikov mojih glavnih, ki me obdajajo.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
Mast svojo masté, z usti svojimi govoré prevzetno:
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
Hojo našo zdaj obdajajo nam; oči svoje obračajo vpirajoč v tla.
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Podoba je vsakega kakor leva želečega zgrabiti, in kakor mladega leva čepečega v zakotji.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, who is thy sword:
Vstani, Gospod, prehítí obličje njegovo; trešči ga, izpuli dušo mojo z mečem svojim krivičnemu.
14 From men who are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
Ljudém izpuli v roko svojo, Gospod, ljudém od svetá, katerih delež je v tem življenji, katerim trebuh polniš sè skrivnim zakladom svojim; sitijo se sinovi in preobilost svojo zapuščajo otrokom svojim.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Jaz bodem v pravičnosti videl obličje tvoje, sitil se bodem, ko se zbudim, s podobo tvojo.
