Psalms 76

1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;

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

2 And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

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

3 There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. (Selah)

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

4 More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

Ti si veličastnejši in odličnejši kakor gore plena.

5 The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

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

7 Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

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

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

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

9 When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

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

11 Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that 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 cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Odrezal bo duha princev. Strašen je do zemeljskih kraljev.
