Psalms 76

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.

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

2 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

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

3 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

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

4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.

Ti si veličastnejši in odličnejši kakor gore plena.

5 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

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

6 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

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

7 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

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

8 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

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

9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

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

10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

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

11 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.

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 doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!

Odrezal bo duha princev. Strašen je do zemeljskih kraljev.
