Psalms 36

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.

Prestopek zlobnega znotraj mojega srca pravi, da pred njegovimi očmi ni Božjega strahu.

2 For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.

Kajti v svojih lastnih očeh si laska, dokler se ne najde njegova krivičnost, da je vreden sovraštva.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.

Besede iz njegovih ust so krivičnost in prevara. Prenehal je biti moder in delati dobro.

4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

Na svoji postelji snuje vragolijo, postavlja se na pot, ki ni dobra, zla ne prezira.

5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

Tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod, je v nebesih; in tvoja zvestoba sega do oblakov.

6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.

Tvoja pravičnost je podobna velikim goram, tvoje sodbe so zelo globokoumne. Oh Gospod, ti ohranjaš človeka in žival.

7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

Kako odlična je tvoja ljubeča skrbnost, oh Bog! Zato človeški otroci svoje trdno upanje polagajo pod senco tvojih peruti.

8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.

Obilno bodo nasičeni z obiljem tvoje hiše in primoral jih boš piti iz reke svojih radosti.

9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.

Kajti s teboj je studenec življenja, v tvoji svetlobi bomo videli svetlobo.

10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Oh nadaljuj svoje ljubeče skrbnosti tem, ki te poznajo, in svojo pravičnost do iskrenih v srcu.

11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Naj proti meni ne pride stopalo ponosnega in naj me roka zlobnega ne odstrani.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.

Tam so padli delavci krivičnosti. Podrti so in ne bodo mogli vstati.
