¹{Načelniku godbe. Psalm Davida, hlapca GOSPODOVEGA, ki je govoril GOSPODU te pesmi besede v dan, ko ga je bil rešil GOSPOD iz pesti vseh sovražnikov njegovih in iz roke Savlove; in rekel je:} Srčno te ljubim, o GOSPOD, moja moč.

²GOSPOD je skala moja in visoki grad moj in rešitelj moj, Bog mogočni moj, zavetje moje, kamor pribegam, ščit moj in rešenja mojega rog, visoka trdnjava moja.

²Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

³GOSPODA kličem, ki je hvale vreden, in tako se rešujem sovražnikov svojih.

³I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

⁴Objele so me smrti vezi in hudourniki pogube so me prestrašili;

⁴The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁵pekla [Hebr. šeol.] vezi so me obdale, smrtne zanke so me zajele.

⁵The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death came on me.

⁶V stiski svoji sem klical GOSPODA in k Bogu svojemu sem vpil; iz svetišča svojega je začul moj glas in vpitje moje pred njim je prišlo do ušes njegovih.

⁶In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

⁷Tu se je zgenila in stresla zemlja, tudi podstave gorá so se zmajale, gibale so se, ker se je srdil.

⁷Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁸Dim se je valil iz nosnic njegovih in ogenj požrešen iz ust njegovih, žerjavica goreča je prhala od njega.

⁸Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

⁹Nagnil je nebo ter stopil doli, in oblačna temota mu je bila pod nogami.

⁹He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰In sedeč na kerubu, je letel in plaval na vetra perutih.

¹⁰He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

¹¹Temo si je napravil za ogrinjalo, za šator svoj okoli sebe, mrak vodá in roje oblakov.

¹¹He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹²Iz svita pred njim je švigala skozi oblake njegove toča in žerjavica ognjena.

¹²At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

¹³Na nebesih je grmel GOSPOD in Najvišji je dal slišati svoj glas – toča in žerjavica ognjena.

¹³Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

¹⁴In izstrelil je pšice svoje in sovražnike razkropil, metal je strelo za strelo, in jih je izbegal.

¹⁴He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

¹⁵In prikazale so se struge vodá, in odgrnile so se podstave vesoljne zemlje od svarjenja tvojega, GOSPOD, od sape jeze tvoje.

¹⁵Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁶Iz višine je posegel in me prijel, potegnil me je iz mnogih vodá.

¹⁶He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷Rešil me je neprijatelja mojega močnega in sovražilcev mojih, krepkejših od mene.

¹⁷He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁸Naskočili so me v dan nesreče moje, a GOSPOD mi je bil podpora,

¹⁸They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁹in me je izpeljal na plano, rešil me je, ker me je ljubil.

¹⁹He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰Podelil mi je GOSPOD po pravičnosti moji, po čistosti mojih rok mi je povrnil;

²⁰Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²¹kajti držal sem se potov GOSPODOVIH ter se nisem zlobno odvrnil od Boga svojega.

²¹For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²Zakaj vse sodbe njegove so pred mojimi očmi, in postav njegovih ne zavračam od sebe.

²²For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.

²³In bil sem mu popolnoma vdan ter sem se pazil, da ne ravnam krivično.

²³I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁴Zato mi je povrnil GOSPOD po pravičnosti moji, po čistosti mojih rok pred njegovimi očmi.

²⁴Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵Dobrotljivemu se izkazuješ dobrotljivega, popolnoma vdanemu se izkazuješ popolnega;

²⁵With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

²⁶čistemu se kažeš čistega, ali popačenemu nasprotuješ.

²⁶With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁷Zakaj ti otimlješ ljudstvo ubogo, prevzetne oči pa ponižuješ.

²⁷For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

²⁸Da, svetilo moje razsvetljuješ; GOSPOD, moj Bog, razjasnjuje moje tmine.

²⁸For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

²⁹S teboj namreč prodiram skozi krdelo in z Bogom svojim preskakujem zid.

²⁹For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

³⁰Tega Boga mogočnega pot je brezmadežna, govor GOSPODOV ves čist; ščit je vsem, ki pribegajo k njemu.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³¹Ker kdo je Bog razen GOSPODA? in kdo skala razen našega Boga?

³¹For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

³²Ta Bog mogočni, ki me opasuje z močjo in brezmadežno dela mojo pot.

³³Dela, da so moje noge kakor jelenje, in me stavi na višino mojo.

³³He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.

³⁴Vadi za boj roke moje, da napnem z ramo svojo lok bronasti.

³⁴He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

³⁵Dal si mi tudi zveličanja svojega ščit, in desnica tvoja me je podpirala in ljubeznivost tvoja me je poveličala.

³⁵You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁶Razširil si prostor korakom mojim pod mano, in členki mojih nog niso omahovali.

³⁶You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

³⁷Zasledoval sem sovražnike svoje in jih dohitel, in nisem se vrnil, dokler jih nisem izničil.

³⁷I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

³⁸Zdrobil sem jih tako, da ne morejo več vstati, padli so mi pod noge.

³⁸I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

³⁹Ker ti si me opasal z močjo za vojsko, upognil si podme nje, ki so se vzpenjali zoper mene.

³⁹For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

⁴⁰In zapodil si v beg nasprotnike moje, sovražilce moje, da jih ugonobim.

⁴⁰You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴¹Vpili so, a ni ga bilo, ki bi jih rešil, h GOSPODU so vpili, a ni jim odgovoril.

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴²Tu sem jih strl, da so kakor prah pred vetrom, kakor blato na ulicah sem jih poteptal.

⁴²Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴³Otel si me iz prepirov ljudstva in postavil narodom za glavo; ljudstvo, ki ga nisem poznal, mi je služilo.

⁴³You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴⁴Le slišali so o meni, in so se mi pokorili, tujci so se mi vdajali z laskanjem.

⁴⁴As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

⁴⁵Tujci so v strahu koprneli in pritrepetavali iz gradov svojih.

⁴⁵The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁶Živ je GOSPOD; in slavljena bodi skala moja in naj se povišuje Bog rešenja mojega;

⁴⁶Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

⁴⁷Bog ta mogočni, ki mi daje maščevanje in spravlja ljudstva podme;

⁴⁷even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

⁴⁸ki me rešuje sovražnikov mojih; da, ti si me povzdignil nadnje, ki vstajajo zoper mene, možu silovitemu si me iztrgal.

⁴⁸He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁴⁹Zatorej te bom hvalil med narodi, GOSPOD, in psalme prepeval tvojemu imenu.On daje rešenje, veliko in obilo, kralju svojemu in izkazuje milost maziljencu svojemu, Davidu in semenu njegovemu na veke.

⁴⁹Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

⁵⁰On daje rešenje, veliko in obilo, kralju svojemu in izkazuje milost maziljencu svojemu, Davidu in semenu njegovemu na veke.

⁵⁰He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.
