Psalmi 34
1 Ob vseh časih bom blagoslavljal Gospoda, njegova hvala bo nenehno na mojih ustih.
“A psalm of David, when he feigned himself mad before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 Moja duša bo storila svoje bahanje v Gospodu. Ponižni bodo o tem slišali in bodo veseli.
In the LORD doth my soul boast; Let the afflicted hear, and rejoice!
3 Oh poveličujte z menoj Gospoda in skupaj poveličujmo njegovo ime.
O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt his name together!
4 Iskal sem Gospoda in me je uslišal ter me osvobodil pred vsemi mojimi strahovi.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5 Pogledali so k njemu in bili ožarjeni in njihovi obrazi niso bili osramočeni.
Look up to him, and ye shall have light; Your faces shall never be ashamed.
6 Ta revež je zajokal in Gospod ga je uslišal ter ga rešil pred vsemi njegovimi težavami.
This afflicted man cried, and the LORD heard, And saved him from all his troubles.
7 Gospodov angel tabori okoli teh, ki se ga bojijo in jih osvobaja.
The angels of the LORD encamp around those who fear him, And deliver them.
8 Oh okusite in vidite, da je Gospod dober. Blagoslovljen je človek, ki zaupa vanj.
O taste, and see how good is the LORD! Happy the man who trusteth in him!
9 Oh bojte se Gospoda, vi njegovi sveti, kajti nič ne manjka tem, ki se ga bojijo.
O fear the LORD, ye his servants! For to those who fear him there shall be no want.
10 Mladim levom primanjkuje in trpijo lakoto, toda tistim, ki iščejo Gospoda, ne bo manjkala nobena dobra stvar.
Young lions want, and suffer hunger; But they who fear the LORD want no good thing.
11 Pridite, otroci, prisluhnite mi. Strahu Gospodovega vas bom učil.
Come, ye children, hearken to me! I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Kakšen človek je tisti, ki želi življenje in ljubi mnoge dneve, da bi lahko videl dobro?
Who is he that loveth life, And desireth many days, in which he may see good?
13 Zadržuj svoj jezik pred zlom in svoje ustnice od govorjenja zvijače.
Guard well thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile!
14 Odidi od zla in delaj dobro, išči mir in ga zasleduj.
Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it!
15 Gospodove oči so na pravičnih in njegova ušesa so odprta k njihovemu klicanju.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their cry.
16 Gospodovo obličje je zoper te, ki delajo zlo, da z zemlje iztrebi spomin na njih.
But the face of the LORD is against evil-doers, To cut off their remembrance from the earth.
17 Pravični kličejo in Gospod uslišuje ter jih osvobaja iz vseh njihovih stisk.
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them from all their troubles.
18 Gospod je blizu tem, ki so zlomljenega srca in rešuje takšne, ki so skesanega duha.
The LORD is near to them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
19 Mnoge so stiske pravičnega, toda Gospod ga osvobaja iz njih vseh.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the LORD delivereth him from them all.
20 Varuje vse njegove kosti niti ena izmed njih ni zlomljena.
He guardeth all his bones; Not one of them shall be broken.
21 Zlo bo pokončalo zlobnega in tisti, ki sovražijo pravične, bodo zapuščeni.
Calamity destroyeth the wicked, And they who hate the righteous suffer for it.
22 Gospod odkupuje dušo svojih služabnikov in nobeden od teh, ki zaupajo vanj, ne bo zapuščen.
The LORD redeemeth the life of his servants, And none that put their trust in him will suffer for it.
