< Psalmi 66 >
1 Naredite radosten glas Bogu, vse ve dežele,
For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
2 pojte čast njegovemu imenu, njegovo hvalo naredite veličastno.
Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.
3 Recite Bogu: »Kako strašen si v svojih delih! Zaradi veličine tvoje moči se ti bodo podredili tvoji sovražniki.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 Vsa zemlja te bo oboževala in ti prepevala, prepevali bodo k tvojemu imenu.« (Sela)
All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. (Selah)
5 Pridite in glejte dela Boga. Strašen je v svojem delovanju do človeških otrok.
Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 Morje je spremenil v kopno zemljo. Skozi rečni tok so šli peš, tam smo se veselili v njem.
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.
7 S svojo močjo vlada na veke, njegove oči opazujejo narode; naj se uporni ne povišujejo. (Sela)
He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
8 Oh blagoslavljajte našega Boga, ve ljudstva in storite, da se sliši glas njegove hvale,
Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
9 ki našo dušo drži pri življenju in ne pusti, da bi bila naša stopala premaknjena.
Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 Kajti ti, oh Bog, si nas potrdil, preizkusil si nas, kakor je preizkušeno srebro.
For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Privedel si nas v mrežo, na naša ledja polagaš stisko.
Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
12 Ljudem si storil, da jahajo nad našimi glavami. Šli smo skozi ogenj in skozi vodo, toda ti si nas privedel v premožen kraj.
Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13 V tvojo hišo bom šel z žgalnimi daritvami, izpolnil ti bom svoje zaobljube,
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
14 ki so jih izrekle moje ustnice in spregovorila moja usta, ko sem bil v stiski.
Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
15 Daroval ti bom žgalne daritve pitancev s kadilom ovnov, daroval ti bom bikce s kozli. (Sela)
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
16 Pridite in prisluhnite vsi vi, ki se bojite Boga in oznanil vam bom, kaj je storil za mojo dušo.
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 K njemu sem klical s svojimi usti in povzdignjen je bil z mojim jezikom.
I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.
18 Če v svojem srcu upoštevam krivičnost, me Gospod ne bo uslišal,
If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:
19 toda Bog me je resnično uslišal, prisluhnil je glasu moje molitve.
But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, ki ni odklonil moje molitve niti svojega usmiljenja od mene.
Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
