Psalmi 66
1 Naredite radosten glas Bogu, vse ve dežele,
To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
2 pojte čast njegovemu imenu, njegovo hvalo naredite veličastno.
Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
3 Recite Bogu: »Kako strašen si v svojih delih! Zaradi veličine tvoje moči se ti bodo podredili tvoji sovražniki.
Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
4 Vsa zemlja te bo oboževala in ti prepevala, prepevali bodo k tvojemu imenu.« (Sela)
Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your 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 to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
6 Morje je spremenil v kopno zemljo. Skozi rečni tok so šli peš, tam smo se veselili v njem.
The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
7 S svojo močjo vlada na veke, njegove oči opazujejo narode; naj se uporni ne povišujejo. (Sela)
He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah)
8 Oh blagoslavljajte našega Boga, ve ljudstva in storite, da se sliši glas njegove hvale,
Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
9 ki našo dušo drži pri življenju in ne pusti, da bi bila naša stopala premaknjena.
Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
10 Kajti ti, oh Bog, si nas potrdil, preizkusil si nas, kakor je preizkušeno srebro.
For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
11 Privedel si nas v mrežo, na naša ledja polagaš stisko.
You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
12 Ljudem si storil, da jahajo nad našimi glavami. Šli smo skozi ogenj in skozi vodo, toda ti si nas privedel v premožen kraj.
You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
13 V tvojo hišo bom šel z žgalnimi daritvami, izpolnil ti bom svoje zaobljube,
I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
14 ki so jih izrekle moje ustnice in spregovorila moja usta, ko sem bil v stiski.
Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
15 Daroval ti bom žgalne daritve pitancev s kadilom ovnov, daroval ti bom bikce s kozli. (Sela)
I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah)
16 Pridite in prisluhnite vsi vi, ki se bojite Boga in oznanil vam bom, kaj je storil za mojo dušo.
Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
17 K njemu sem klical s svojimi usti in povzdignjen je bil z mojim jezikom.
My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
18 Če v svojem srcu upoštevam krivičnost, me Gospod ne bo uslišal,
I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
19 toda Bog me je resnično uslišal, prisluhnil je glasu moje molitve.
But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, ki ni odklonil moje molitve niti svojega usmiljenja od mene.
Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
