Psalmi 34
1 Ob vseh časih bom blagoslavljal Gospoda, njegova hvala bo nenehno na mojih ustih.
Of David, when he feigned madness in the presence of Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left. I will bless the Lord at all times, in my mouth will his praise be forever.
2 Moja duša bo storila svoje bahanje v Gospodu. Ponižni bodo o tem slišali in bodo veseli.
In the Lord will my heart make her boast, the humble will hear and be glad.
3 Oh poveličujte z menoj Gospoda in skupaj poveličujmo njegovo ime.
O magnify the Lord with me and let us extol his name together.
4 Iskal sem Gospoda in me je uslišal ter me osvobodil pred vsemi mojimi strahovi.
I sought the Lord, and, in answer, he saved me from all my terrors.
5 Pogledali so k njemu in bili ožarjeni in njihovi obrazi niso bili osramočeni.
Look to him and you will be radiant, with faces unashamed.
6 Ta revež je zajokal in Gospod ga je uslišal ter ga rešil pred vsemi njegovimi težavami.
Here is one who was crushed, but cried and was heard by the Lord, and brought safe out of every trouble.
7 Gospodov angel tabori okoli teh, ki se ga bojijo in jih osvobaja.
The Lord’s angel encamps about those who fear him, and rescues them.
8 Oh okusite in vidite, da je Gospod dober. Blagoslovljen je človek, ki zaupa vanj.
O taste and see that the Lord is good, happy those who take refuge in him.
9 Oh bojte se Gospoda, vi njegovi sveti, kajti nič ne manjka tem, ki se ga bojijo.
Fear the Lord, all his people, for they who fear him lack nothing.
10 Mladim levom primanjkuje in trpijo lakoto, toda tistim, ki iščejo Gospoda, ne bo manjkala nobena dobra stvar.
Even young lions may be poor and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
11 Pridite, otroci, prisluhnite mi. Strahu Gospodovega vas bom učil.
Come, children, listen 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?
Which of you is desirous of life, loves many and happy days?
13 Zadržuj svoj jezik pred zlom in svoje ustnice od govorjenja zvijače.
Then guard your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
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 towards the righteous, his ears are towards their cry for help.
16 Gospodovo obličje je zoper te, ki delajo zlo, da z zemlje iztrebi spomin na njih.
The Lord sets his face against those who do evil, to root their memory out of the earth.
17 Pravični kličejo in Gospod uslišuje ter jih osvobaja iz vseh njihovih stisk.
When righteous cry, they are heard by the Lord, and he saves them from all their distresses.
18 Gospod je blizu tem, ki so zlomljenega srca in rešuje takšne, ki so skesanega duha.
The Lord is near to the broken-hearted, he helps those whose spirit is crushed.
19 Mnoge so stiske pravičnega, toda Gospod ga osvobaja iz njih vseh.
Many misfortunes befall the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all.
20 Varuje vse njegove kosti niti ena izmed njih ni zlomljena.
He guards all their bones, none are broken.
21 Zlo bo pokončalo zlobnega in tisti, ki sovražijo pravične, bodo zapuščeni.
Misfortune will slay the ungodly; those who hate the righteous are doomed.
22 Gospod odkupuje dušo svojih služabnikov in nobeden od teh, ki zaupajo vanj, ne bo zapuščen.
The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, and none will be doomed who takes refuge in him.
