Psalms 76

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

V Judu je Bog poznan. Njegovo ime v Izraelu je veliko.

2 In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

Tudi v Salemu je njegovo šotorsko svetišče in njegovo bivališče na Sionu.

3 There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)

Tam je prelomil puščice loka, ščit, meč in bitko. (Sela)

4 You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

Ti si veličastnejši in odličnejši kakor gore plena.

5 Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

Arogantni so oplenjeni, spali so svoje spanje. Nihče izmed mogočnih mož ni našel svojih rok.

6 At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

Ob tvojem oštevanju, Bog Jakobov, sta tako bojni voz, kakor konj vržena v smrtno spanje.

7 You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

Ti, celó tebe se je bati in kdo lahko stoji v tvojem pogledu, kadar si jezen?

8 From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

Povzročil si, da se z neba sliši sodba; zemlja se je zbala in postala tiha,

9 When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)

ko je k sodbi vstal Bog, da reši vse krotke na zemlji. (Sela)

10 The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

Zagotovo te bo hvalil človeški bes. Ostanek besa boš ti obrzdal.

11 Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

Zaobljubi se in plačaj Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Naj vsi tisti, ki so okoli njega, prinesejo darila tistemu, ki bi se ga morali bati.

12 He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.

Odrezal bo duha princev. Strašen je do zemeljskih kraljev.
