< Psalmi 103 >
1 Davidov. Blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja, i sve što je u meni, sveto ime njegovo!
“Of David.” Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and all that is within me, his holy name.
2 Blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja, i ne zaboravi dobročinstva njegova:
Bless, O my soul, the Lord, and forget not all his benefits:
3 on ti otpušta sve grijehe tvoje, on iscjeljuje sve slabosti tvoje;
Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 on ti od propasti čuva život, kruni te dobrotom i ljubavlju;
Who redeemeth from the pit thy life; who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies;
5 život ti ispunja dobrima, k'o orlu ti se mladost obnavlja.
Who satisfieth with happiness thy spirit, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's [plumage].
6 Jahve čini pravedna djela i potlačenima vraća pravicu,
The Lord executeth righteousness, and justice for all that are oppressed.
7 Mojsiju objavi putove svoje, sinovima Izraelovim djela svoja.
He made known his ways unto Moses, unto the children of Israel his acts.
8 Milosrdan i milostiv je Jahve, spor na srdžbu i vrlo dobrostiv.
Merciful and gracious is the Lord, long-suffering and abundant in kindness.
9 Jarostan nije za vječna vremena niti dovijeka plamti srdžba njegova.
Not for all eternity will he contend; nor will he for ever retain his anger.
10 Ne postupa s nama po grijesima našim niti nam plaća po našim krivnjama.
Not in accordance with our sins hath he dealt with us; nor according to our iniquities hath he requited us.
11 Jer kako je nebo visoko nad zemljom, dobrota je njegova s onima koji ga se boje.
For as high as heaven is above the earth, so mighty is his kindness toward those that fear him.
12 Kako je istok daleko od zapada, tako udaljuje od nas bezakonja naša.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed from us our transgressions.
13 Kako se otac smiluje dječici, tako se Jahve smiluje onima što ga se boje.
As a father hath mercy on his children, so hath the Lord mercy on those that fear him.
14 Jer dobro zna kako smo sazdani, spominje se da smo prašina.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 Dani su čovjekovi kao sijeno, cvate k'o cvijetak na njivi;
As for man, like the grass are his days: as the blossom of the field, so doth he bloom.
16 jedva ga dotakne vjetar, i već ga nema, ne pamti ga više ni mjesto njegovo.
When a wind but passeth over it, it is gone, and its place will recognize it no more.
17 Al' ljubav Jahvina vječna je nad onima što ga se boje i njegova pravda nad sinovima sinova,
But the kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting over those that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
18 nad onima što njegov Savez čuvaju i pamte mu zapovijedi da ih izvrše.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those who remember his precepts to execute them.
19 Jahve u nebu postavi prijestolje svoje, i kraljevska vlast svemir mu obuhvaća.
The Lord hath established in the heavens his throne; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, svi anđeli njegovi, vi jaki u sili, što izvršujete naredbe njegove, poslušni riječi njegovoj!
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, sve vojske njegove, sluge njegove koje činite volju njegovu!
Bless ye the Lord, all his hosts, ye his ministers, that execute his will.
22 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, sva djela njegova, na svakome mjestu vlasti njegove: blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja!
Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion; bless, O my soul, the Lord.
