< Psalms 66 >
1 To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm. Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:
Naredite radosten glas Bogu, vse ve dežele,
2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;
pojte čast njegovemu imenu, njegovo hvalo naredite veličastno.
3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.
Recite Bogu: »Kako strašen si v svojih delih! Zaradi veličine tvoje moči se ti bodo podredili tvoji sovražniki.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. (Selah)
Vsa zemlja te bo oboževala in ti prepevala, prepevali bodo k tvojemu imenu.« (Sela)
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.
Pridite in glejte dela Boga. Strašen je v svojem delovanju do človeških otrok.
6 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
Morje je spremenil v kopno zemljo. Skozi rečni tok so šli peš, tam smo se veselili v njem.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
S svojo močjo vlada na veke, njegove oči opazujejo narode; naj se uporni ne povišujejo. (Sela)
8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Oh blagoslavljajte našega Boga, ve ljudstva in storite, da se sliši glas njegove hvale,
9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
ki našo dušo drži pri življenju in ne pusti, da bi bila naša stopala premaknjena.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Kajti ti, oh Bog, si nas potrdil, preizkusil si nas, kakor je preizkušeno srebro.
11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;
Privedel si nas v mrežo, na naša ledja polagaš stisko.
12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
Ljudem si storil, da jahajo nad našimi glavami. Šli smo skozi ogenj in skozi vodo, toda ti si nas privedel v premožen kraj.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,
V tvojo hišo bom šel z žgalnimi daritvami, izpolnil ti bom svoje zaobljube,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
ki so jih izrekle moje ustnice in spregovorila moja usta, ko sem bil v stiski.
15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
Daroval ti bom žgalne daritve pitancev s kadilom ovnov, daroval ti bom bikce s kozli. (Sela)
16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
Pridite in prisluhnite vsi vi, ki se bojite Boga in oznanil vam bom, kaj je storil za mojo dušo.
17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
K njemu sem klical s svojimi usti in povzdignjen je bil z mojim jezikom.
18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.
Če v svojem srcu upoštevam krivičnost, me Gospod ne bo uslišal,
19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
toda Bog me je resnično uslišal, prisluhnil je glasu moje molitve.
20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, ki ni odklonil moje molitve niti svojega usmiljenja od mene.
