Psalms, 140

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.

1. Zborovoði. Psalam. Davidov.

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

2. Izbavi me, Jahve, od èovjeka zlobna, zaštiti me od èovjeka nasilna:

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

3. od onih koji pakosti u srcu smišljaju i èitav dan zaèinju kavge.

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.

4. Kao zmije bruse jezike svoje, pod usnama im je otrov ljutièin.

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.

5. Spasi me, Jahve, od ruku zlotvora, èuvaj me od èovjeka nasilna koji hoæe da mi noga posrne.

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

6. Oholice mi potajno nastavljaju zamku, užetima mrežu pletu, kraj puta klopke mi stavljaju.

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

7. Zavapih Jahvi: "Ti si Bog moj! Poslušaj, o Jahve, krik mojih molitava!

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

8. Jahve, Gospode moj, spasitelju silni moj, u dan boja zakloni mi glavu!"

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

9. Ne daj da se ispune želje zlotvora, ne daj da svoje on izvrši namjere!

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

10. Nek' glavu ne podignu oni koji me opkoliše, nek' na njih padne zloba njihovih usana!

11.

11. Nek' daždi po njima ugljevlje ognjeno, nek' se strovale u jamu da više ne ustanu!

12.

12. Opadaè se neæe održat' na zemlji, silnika æe odjednom zgrabiti nesreæa.

13.

13. Znam da æe Jahve dati pravo ubogu i pravicu siromasima.

14.

14. Zaista, pravedni æe tvoje ime slaviti, pred tvojim æe licem boraviti èestiti.
