Psalmi 76

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

For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.

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

He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.

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

There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

4 Ti si veličastnejši in odličnejši kakor gore plena.

You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

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

Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.

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

At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.

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

You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?

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

From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,

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

when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)

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

Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.

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

Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.

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

For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
