< Psalmi 103 >
1 Davidov. Blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja, i sve što je u meni, sveto ime njegovo!
Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
2 Blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja, i ne zaboravi dobročinstva njegova:
Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
3 on ti otpušta sve grijehe tvoje, on iscjeljuje sve slabosti tvoje;
He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
4 on ti od propasti čuva život, kruni te dobrotom i ljubavlju;
He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
5 život ti ispunja dobrima, k'o orlu ti se mladost obnavlja.
He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
6 Jahve čini pravedna djela i potlačenima vraća pravicu,
The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
7 Mojsiju objavi putove svoje, sinovima Izraelovim djela svoja.
He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
8 Milosrdan i milostiv je Jahve, spor na srdžbu i vrlo dobrostiv.
The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
9 Jarostan nije za vječna vremena niti dovijeka plamti srdžba njegova.
His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
10 Ne postupa s nama po grijesima našim niti nam plaća po našim krivnjama.
He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
11 Jer kako je nebo visoko nad zemljom, dobrota je njegova s onima koji ga se boje.
For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
12 Kako je istok daleko od zapada, tako udaljuje od nas bezakonja naša.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
13 Kako se otac smiluje dječici, tako se Jahve smiluje onima što ga se boje.
As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
14 Jer dobro zna kako smo sazdani, spominje se da smo prašina.
For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
15 Dani su čovjekovi kao sijeno, cvate k'o cvijetak na njivi;
As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
16 jedva ga dotakne vjetar, i već ga nema, ne pamti ga više ni mjesto njegovo.
The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
17 Al' ljubav Jahvina vječna je nad onima što ga se boje i njegova pravda nad sinovima sinova,
But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
18 nad onima što njegov Savez čuvaju i pamte mu zapovijedi da ih izvrše.
If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
19 Jahve u nebu postavi prijestolje svoje, i kraljevska vlast svemir mu obuhvaća.
The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
20 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, svi anđeli njegovi, vi jaki u sili, što izvršujete naredbe njegove, poslušni riječi njegovoj!
Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
21 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, sve vojske njegove, sluge njegove koje činite volju njegovu!
Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
22 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, sva djela njegova, na svakome mjestu vlasti njegove: blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja!
Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
