Psalms 118

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

Oh zahvaljujte se Gospodu, ker je dober, ker njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.

2 Let Israel say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”

Naj sedaj reče Izrael, da njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.

3 Let the house of Aaron say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”

Naj sedaj reče Aronova hiša, da njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.

4 Let those who fear the LORD say, “His loving devotion endures forever.”

Naj sedaj rečejo tisti, ki se bojijo Gospoda, da njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.

5 In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered and set me free.

V tegobi sem klical h Gospodu; Gospod mi je odgovoril in me postavil na velik kraj.

6 The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Gospod je na moji strani; ne bom se bal, kaj mi more storiti človek?

7 The LORD is on my side; He is my helper. Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me.

Gospod jemlje moj delež s tistimi, ki mi pomagajo, zato bom videl svojo željo na tistih, ki me sovražijo.

8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

Bolje je zaupati v Gospoda, kakor zaupanje polagati v človeka.

9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

Bolje je zaupati v Gospoda, kakor zaupanje polagati v prince.

10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

Vsi narodi so me obkrožili, toda uničil jih bom v Gospodovem imenu.

11 They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

Obkrožili so me; da, obkrožili so me, toda uničil jih bom v Gospodovem imenu.

12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

Obkrožili so me kakor čebele; pogašeni so kakor ogenj iz trnja, kajti uničil jih bom v Gospodovem imenu.

13 I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me.

Kruto si me sunil, da bi lahko padel, toda Gospod mi je pomagal.

14 The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.

Gospod je moja moč in pesem in postal je rešitev moje duše.

15 Shouts of joy and salvation resound in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!

Glas veselja in rešitve duš je v šotorskih svetiščih pravičnih; Gospodova desnica dela hrabro.

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!”

Gospodova desnica je vzvišena, Gospodova desnica dela hrabro.

17 I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done.

Ne bom umrl, temveč živel in oznanjal Gospodova dela.

18 The LORD disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death.

Gospod me je boleče okaral, toda ni me izročil smrti.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and give thanks to the LORD.

Odprite mi velika vrata pravičnosti; šel bom vanje in bom hvalil Gospoda,

20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.

ta Gospodova velika vrata, v katera bodo vstopali pravični.

21 I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.

Hvalil te bom, kajti slišal si me in postal si rešitev moje duše.

22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Kamen, ki so ga graditelji odklonili, je postal glava vogalnemu kamnu.

23 This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

To je Gospodovo delo, to je čudovito v naših očeh.

24 This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

To je dan, ki ga je naredil Gospod; veselili se bomo in bili veseli v njem.

25 O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper!

Reši sedaj, rotim te, oh Gospod. Oh Gospod, rotim te, pošlji uspevanje sedaj.

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.

Blagoslovljen bodi, kdor prihaja v Gospodovem imenu. Blagoslavljamo vas iz Gospodove hiše.

27 The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

Bog je Gospod, ki nam je pokazal svetlobo. Žrtev povežite z vrvmi, celó k oltarnim rogovom.

28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks. You are my God, and I will exalt You.

Ti si moj Bog in tebe bom hvalil; ti si moj Bog, poviševal te bom.

29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

Oh zahvaljujte se Gospodu, ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.
