Psalm

Ah! Doamne miluieste-ma.
Caci de mult vreau sa gust din mierea neprihanitilor.
De ani, ani multi, m-am indepartat de Tine
Iar cel nenorocit a pus ghiara pe mine ca un leu
Care iti face o rana ce nu o simti decat dupa ce faptasul nu mai este.
Si rau mi-a amorti inima.
Fa-ma suflul gurii Tale, Doamne si vorbeste cu mine cuvantul Tau.
Fa-ma culoarea ochilor Tai si vezi cu mine pe cei ce Te prea-maresc.
Fa din mine auzul urechilor Tale, spre a asculta cei care-Ti canta: “Aleluia!”
Necajit sunt Doamne, adunate sunt pacatele in jurul meu ca niste draci nenorociti
Pe care am calcat ani de zile cautandu-Te.
Nu-ti pleca lumina de la mine Doamne, si auzi robul Tau strigand.
Caci pe Tine te striga cu voce calda si tare.
Hraneste pe fiul tau, cu tine Doamne
Si taria-Ti daruieste-i.
Ca la sfarmatul crucilor frica sa nu-l cuprinda.
Ci bucurie sa-l umple caci se va intoarce la locul raureli.
Spre a Te prea-mari si a iti canta «Aleluia!»

===========================================================

Oh! God save me.
For long have I desired the honey of the pure.
For years, long years, have I wandered away from You
And the wicked one put his claws in me like a lion
That makes you a wound which you don’t feel until the culprit is long gone.
And numb is my heart
Make out of me, the breath of Your mouth and speak with me Your word.
Make out of me, the color of Your eyes, and see with me those who praise You.
Make me the hearing of Your ears and hear with me those who sing to You: “Halleluiah!”
Troubled I am God, gathered around me are sins like damned devils
On which I have stomped on for years, searching for You.
Don’t shatter Your light from me God, and hear Your slave screaming
For it is You he screams to, with soft, loud voice.
Feed Your son with you God
And give him Your strength
So that at the shattering of crosses fear will not reach him.
And joy shall overwhelm him, for he shall return to the place of the beginning
And praise and sing to You: “Hallelujah!”
