< Psalmi 147 >

1 Hvalite Gospoda, kajti dobro je peti hvalnice našemu Bogu, kajti to je prijetno in hvala je ljubka.
Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
2 Gospod je zgradil Jeruzalem; skupaj zbira Izraelove pregnance.
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 Ozdravlja potrte v srcu in povezuje njihove rane.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 Šteje število zvezd, vse jih kliče po njihovih imenih.
He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
5 Velik je naš Gospod in zelo močan, njegovo razumevanje je neskončno.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
6 Gospod dviguje krotke; zlobne podira k tlom.
The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Pojte Gospodu z zahvaljevanjem, našemu Bogu pojte hvalo na harfo,
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
8 ki nebo pokriva z oblaki, ki za zemljo pripravlja dež, ki daje travi, da raste po gorah.
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
9 On daje živali njeno hrano in mladim krokarjem, ki kličejo.
He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 Ne razveseljuje se v moči konja. Ne veseli se človeških nog.
He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
11 Gospod se veseli tistih, ki se ga bojijo, tistih, ki upajo v njegovo usmiljenje.
The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
12 Hvali Gospoda, oh Jeruzalem, hvali svojega Boga, oh Sion.
Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
13 Kajti utrjuje zapahe tvojih velikih vrat, tvoje otroke je blagoslovil znotraj tebe.
For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
14 Na tvojih mejah daje mir in te nasičuje z najodličnejšo pšenico.
He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
15 Svojo zapoved pošilja na zemljo; njegova beseda teče zelo naglo.
He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
16 Sneg daje kakor volno, slano razsiplje kakor pepel.
He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
17 Svoj led meče kakor koščke; kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim mrazom?
He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?
18 Razpošilja svojo besedo in jih topi; svojemu vetru povzroča, da piha in vodam, [da] tečejo.
He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
19 Svojo besedo kaže Jakobu, svoje zakone in svoje sodbe Izraelu.
He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
20 Z nobenim narodom ni tako postopal in glede njegovih sodb, jih oni niso spoznali. Hvalite Gospoda.
He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!
