Psalmi 76

1 V Judu je Bog poznan. Njegovo ime v Izraelu je veliko.

In Judah God is known. His name is great in Israel.

2 Tudi v Salemu je njegovo šotorsko svetišče in njegovo bivališče na Sionu.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

3 Tam je prelomil puščice loka, ščit, meč in bitko. (Sela)

There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

4 Ti si veličastnejši in odličnejši kakor gore plena.

Thou are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

5 Arogantni so oplenjeni, spali so svoje spanje. Nihče izmed mogočnih mož ni našel svojih rok.

The stouthearted are made a spoil. They have slept their sleep, and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 Ob tvojem oštevanju, Bog Jakobov, sta tako bojni voz, kakor konj vržena v smrtno spanje.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

7 Ti, celó tebe se je bati in kdo lahko stoji v tvojem pogledu, kadar si jezen?

Thou, even thou, are to be feared. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou are angry?

8 Povzročil si, da se z neba sliši sodba; zemlja se je zbala in postala tiha,

Thou caused sentence to be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still

9 ko je k sodbi vstal Bog, da reši vse krotke na zemlji. (Sela)

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

10 Zagotovo te bo hvalil človeški bes. Ostanek besa boš ti obrzdal.

Surely the inward thought of man shall praise thee, even the residue of inward thought will observe a festival to thee.

11 Zaobljubi se in plačaj Gospodu, svojemu Bogu. Naj vsi tisti, ki so okoli njega, prinesejo darila tistemu, ki bi se ga morali bati.

Vow, and pay to Jehovah your God. Let all who are round about him bring presents to him who ought to be feared.

12 Odrezal bo duha princev. Strašen je do zemeljskih kraljev.

He will cut off the spirit of rulers. He is fearful to the kings of the earth.
