¹Náčelníkovi speváckeho sboru. Žalm služobníka Hospodinovho, Dávida, ktorý hovoril Hospodinovi slová tejto piesne v deň, v ktorý ho vytrhnul Hospodin z ruky všetkých jeho nepriateľov, i z ruky Saula,

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.

²a povedal: Srdečne ťa milujem, ó, Hospodine, moja silo!

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

³Hospodin je mojou skalou a mojím hradom, mojím vysloboditeľom, mojím silným Bohom, mojím bralom, ku ktorému sa utiekam, mojím štítom a rohom môjho spasenia, mojou vysokou pevnosťou.

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

⁴Na veleslávneho som volal Hospodina a bol som zachránený od svojich nepriateľov.

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

⁵Boly ma obkľúčily bolesti smrti, a predesily ma potoky beliála;

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.

⁶boly ma obňaly povrazy ríše mŕtvych; osídla smrti ma boly nadišly.

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

⁷Vo svojej úzkosti som volal na Hospodina, a úpenlivo som volal o pomoc na svojho Boha. Uslyšal môj hlas zo svojho chrámu, a moje volanie prišlo pred jeho tvár a dostalo sa do jeho uší.

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

⁸Vtedy sa pohla a zatriasla zem, a od strachu sa chvely základy vrchov a pohybovaly sa, lebo horel hnevom.

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

⁹Dym vystupoval jeho nozdrami, a oheň z jeho úst zožieral, takže sa uhlie zanietilo od neho.

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

¹⁰Naklonil nebesia a sostúpil, a mrákava bola pod jeho nohami;

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

¹¹vysadol na cheruba a letel a vznášal sa na krýdlach vetra.

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

¹²Zo tmy si urobil skrýš, stán vôkol seba z vodného temna a z hustých oblakov vysokých.

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

¹³Od blesku pred ním rozišly sa jeho oblaky, kamenec a žeravé uhlie.

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

¹⁴Vtedy zahrmel na nebesiach Hospodin, a Najvyšší vydal svoj hlas; dal, aby padal kamenec a žeravé uhlie.

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.

¹⁵Poslal svoje šípy a rozohnal ich, množstvo bleskov hromu, a podesil ich.

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

¹⁶A ukázaly sa riečištia vôd, a odkryly sa základy okruhu sveta od tvojho žehrania, Hospodine, od dychu ducha tvojich nozdier.

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

¹⁷Vystrel rameno s výsosti, pochytil ma a vytiahol ma z velikých vôd.

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

¹⁸Vytrhol ma z moci môjho silného nepriateľa a z moci tých, ktorí ma nenávideli, pretože boli mocnejší ako ja.

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

¹⁹Nadišli na mňa v deň môjho nešťastia, ale Hospodin mi bol oporou

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

²⁰a vyviedol ma na priestranstvo a vytrhol ma, lebo má vo mne záľubu.

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

²¹Hospodin mi odplatil podľa mojej spravedlivosti; vrátil mi podľa čistoty mojich rúk.

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

²²Lebo som ostríhal cesty Hospodinove a nedopustil som sa tej bezbožnosti, aby som bol odišiel od svojho Boha.

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

²³Lebo všetky jeho súdy sú predo mnou, a jeho ustanovení som neodstrčil od seba;

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

²⁴ale som bol s ním cele a bez úhony a vystríhal som sa svojej neprávosti.

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

²⁵A Hospodin mi zaplatil podľa mojej spravedlivosti, podľa čistoty mojich rúk, ktorá je pred jeho očima.

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

²⁶S milosrdným svätým sa dokazuješ milosrdným svätým; s bezúhonným človekom sa dokazuješ bezúhonným;

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

²⁷s čistým sa dokazuješ čistým a s premršteným sa dokazuješ prevráteným.

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

²⁸Pretože ty zachrániš pokorný ľud strápený a vysoké oči ponížiš.

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

²⁹Lebo ty rozsvecuješ moju sviecu. Hospodin, môj Bôh, osvecuje jasne moju tmu.

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.

³⁰Lebo v tebe prebehnem vojskom a vo svojom Bohu preskočím múr.

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

³¹Cesta silného Boha je bezúhonná. Reč Hospodinova je čistá, dokázaná sťa zlato v ohni. On je štítom všetkým, ktorí sa utiekajú k nemu.

³²Lebo kde kto je Bohom krome Hospodina, a ktože je skalou mimo nášho Boha?!

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

³³Silný Bôh je to, kto ma opasuje silou a dáva, aby moja cesta bola bezúhonná;

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

³⁴moje nohy robí podobnými nohám jelenice a postavuje ma na mojich výšinách.

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

³⁵Moje ruky učí boju, a moje ramená lámu oceľové lučište.

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

³⁶A dávaš mi štít, svoje spasenie, a podopieraš ma svojou pravicou, a tvoja blahosklonnosť ma zveličuje.

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

³⁷Rozšíril si podo mnou môj krok, a moje členky sa nehly.

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

³⁸Honil som svojich nepriateľov a dostihol som ich a nevrátil som sa, až som im urobil koniec.

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

³⁹Porazil som ich tak, že nemohli povstať; padli pod moje nohy.

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

⁴⁰A prepasovával si ma silou do boja; zohnul si podo mňa tých, ktorí povstávali proti mne.

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

⁴¹Mojich nepriateľov si mi dal, aby som im stúpil na šiju, a tých, ktorí ma nenávideli, aby som vyplienil.

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

⁴²Volali o pomoc, ale nebolo spomocníka; volali na Hospodina, ale sa im neozval.

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.

⁴³Rozdrtil som ich tak, že boli jako prach pred vetrom; vykydol som ich ako blato ulice.

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

⁴⁴Vyslobodil si ma zo svárov ľudu; učinil si ma hlavou národom; ľud, ktorého som neznal, mi slúži.

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

⁴⁵Len čo počuli chýr o mne, poslúchajú ma; cudzinci sa mi lichotne koria;

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

⁴⁶synovia cudzieho národa vädnú strachom a trasúci sa prichádzajú zo svojich zavrených miest.

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

⁴⁷Žije Hospodin, a nech je požehnaná moja skala, nech je vyvýšený Bôh môjho spasenia!

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.

⁴⁸Silný Bôh je to, kto mi dáva pomstu a podmaňuje mi národy.

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

⁴⁹Môj vysloboditeľ, ktorý ma vyslobodzuješ od mojich nepriateľov, áno, povýšil si ma nad tých, ktorí povstávali proti mne; vytrhol si ma z moci ukrutného človeka.

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

⁵⁰Preto ťa budem chváliť medzi národami, ó, Hospodine, a tvojmu menu budem spievať žalmy.

⁵¹Dáva veliké spasenie svojmu kráľovi a činí milosť svojmu pomazanému, Dávidovi, a jeho semenu, až na veky.
