< Psalmi 66 >
1 Naredite radosten glas Bogu, vse ve dežele,
For the chief musician. A song, a psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
2 pojte čast njegovemu imenu, njegovo hvalo naredite veličastno.
Sing out 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 to God, “How terrifying are your deeds! By the greatness of your power your enemies will submit to you.
4 Vsa zemlja te bo oboževala in ti prepevala, prepevali bodo k tvojemu imenu.« (Sela)
All the earth will worship you and will sing to you; they will sing 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 fearsome in his deeds toward the sons of mankind.
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 we rejoiced in him.
7 S svojo močjo vlada na veke, njegove oči opazujejo narode; naj se uporni ne povišujejo. (Sela)
He rules forever by his might; 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,
Give blessing to God, you people, let the sound of his praise be heard.
9 ki našo dušo drži pri življenju in ne pusti, da bi bila naša stopala premaknjena.
He keeps us among the living, and he does not permit our feet to slip.
10 Kajti ti, oh Bog, si nas potrdil, preizkusil si nas, kakor je preizkušeno srebro.
For you, God, have tested us; you have tested us as silver is tested.
11 Privedel si nas v mrežo, na naša ledja polagaš stisko.
You brought us into a net; you laid a heavy burden on our backs.
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 made people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out into a spacious place.
13 V tvojo hišo bom šel z žgalnimi daritvami, izpolnil ti bom svoje zaobljube,
I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows
14 ki so jih izrekle moje ustnice in spregovorila moja usta, ko sem bil v stiski.
which my lips promised and my mouth spoke 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 to you burnt offerings of fat animals with the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah)
16 Pridite in prisluhnite vsi vi, ki se bojite Boga in oznanil vam bom, kaj je storil za mojo dušo.
Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 K njemu sem klical s svojimi usti in povzdignjen je bil z mojim jezikom.
I cried to him with my mouth, and he was praised with my tongue.
18 Če v svojem srcu upoštevam krivičnost, me Gospod ne bo uslišal,
If I had seen sin within my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.
19 toda Bog me je resnično uslišal, prisluhnil je glasu moje molitve.
But God has truly heard; he has paid attention to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, ki ni odklonil moje molitve niti svojega usmiljenja od mene.
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or his covenant faithfulness from me.
