< Psalms 33 >
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: praise is comely for the upright.
Veselite se v Gospodu, oh vi pravični, kajti hvala je ljubka iskrenim.
2 Give thanks unto the LORD with harp: sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Hvalite Gospoda s harfo, prepevajte mu s plunko in glasbilom desetih strun.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Prepevajte mu novo pesem, igrajte vešče z glasnim zvokom.
4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his work is [done] in faithfulness.
Kajti Gospodova beseda je pravilna in vsa njegova dela so narejena v resnici.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
On ljubi pravičnost in sodbo. Zemlja je polna Gospodove dobrote.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
Nebo je bilo narejeno z Gospodovo besedo in vsa njegova vojska z dihom njegovih ust.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
Morske vode zbira skupaj kakor kup, globine shranjuje v skladiščih.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Naj se vsa zemlja boji Gospoda. Naj vsi prebivalci zemeljskega [kroga] stojijo v strahospoštovanju pred njim.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Kajti spregovoril je in bilo je narejeno, zapovedal je in je trdno stalo.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought: he maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of none effect.
Gospod uničuje namere poganov. Načrte ljudstva dela brez učinka.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth fast for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Gospodove namere ostanejo večno, misli njegovega srca vsem rodovom.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Blagoslovljen je narod, čigar Bog je Gospod in ljudstvo, ki ga je izbral za svojo lastno dediščino.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men;
Gospod gleda z neba, ogleduje vse človeške sinove.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Iz kraja svojega prebivališča gleda na vse prebivalce zemlje.
15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their works.
Prav tako oblikuje njihova srca, preudarja vsa njihova dela.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
Noben kralj ni rešen z množičnostjo vojske, mogočen človek ni osvobojen z veliko močjo.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great power.
Konj je jalova stvar za varnost niti s svojo veliko močjo ne bo nikogar osvobodil.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Glej, Gospodovo oko je nad temi, ki se ga bojijo, nad temi, ki upajo v njegovo usmiljenje,
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
da njihovo dušo osvobodi pred smrtjo in da jih v lakoti ohrani žive.
20 Our soul hath waited for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
Naša duša čaka na Gospoda, on je naša pomoč in naš ščit.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
Kajti naše srce se bo veselilo v njem, ker smo zaupali v njegovo sveto ime.
22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
Naj bo tvoje usmiljenje na nas, oh Gospod, prav tako kakor mi zaupamo vate.
