Psalms, 40

1. Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself.

1. Zborovoði. Psalam. Davidov.

2. Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

2. Uzdah se u Jahvu uzdanjem silnim, i on se k meni prignu i usliša vapaj moj.

3. May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.

3. Izvuèe me iz jame propasti, iz blata kalnoga; noge mi stavi na hridinu, korake moje ukrijepi.

4. May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.

4. U usta mi stavi pjesmu novu, slavopoj Bogu našemu. Vidjet æe mnogi i strah æe ih obuzeti: uzdanje æe svoje staviti u Jahvu.

5. I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”

5. Blago èovjeku koji se u Jahvu uzda, koji ne ide za štovateljima lažnih bogova, za onima koji se predaju prijevari.

6. My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?

6. Èudesa mnoga tvoriš, o Jahve, Bože moj, i namisli èudesne - ravna ti nema! Kazivat' ih i objavljivati želim, al' odveæ ih je da bi se nabrojit' mogli.

7. And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.

7. Nisu ti mile ni žrtve ni prinosi, nego si mi uši otvorio: paljenice ni okajnice ne tražiš.

8. All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.

8. Tada rekoh: "Evo dolazim! U svitku knjige piše za mene:

9. They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?

9. Milje mi je, Bože moj, vršit volju tvoju, Zakon tvoj duboko u srcu ja nosim."

10. For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.

10. Tvoju æu pravdu naviještat' u velikom zboru, i usta svojih zatvoriti neæu, o Jahve, sve ti je znano.

11. But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.

11. Tvoju pravdu neæu kriti u srcu, kazivat æu vjernost tvoju i tvoj spas. Tajit neæu dobrote tvoje, ni tvoje vjernosti velikoj skupštini.

12. By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.

12. A ti, o Jahve, milosrða mi svog ne krati, dobrota tvoja i vjernost neka me svagda èuvaju.

13. But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.

13. Jer me okružiše nesreæe nebrojene, krivice me moje sustigoše da gledat' ne mogu: više ih je no vlasi na glavi, i srce mi je stoga klonulo.

14. Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.

14. Bilo ti milo, o Jahve, da me izbaviš; Gospodine, u pomoæ mi pohitaj!

15.

15. Neka se postide i smetu svi koji mi o glavi rade. Nek' uzmaknu i neka se posrame koji se nesreæi mojoj raduju!

16.

16. Neka se skamene u sramoti svojoj koji zlurado na me grohoæu!

17.

17. Neka klièu i nek' se vesele u tebi svi koji te traže! Neka govore svagda: "Velik je Jahve!" svi koji spasenje tvoje ljube.

18.

18. Bijedan sam ja i nevoljan, al' Jahve se brine za me. Ti si pomoæ moja i moj spasitelj; o Bože moj, ne kasni!
