¹David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

¹In David je govoril GOSPODU besede te pesmi v dan, ko ga je GOSPOD otel iz roke vseh sovražnikov njegovih in iz roke Savlove,

²and he said, “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

²in dejal je: GOSPOD je skala moja in visok grad moj in rešitelj moj, prav moj.

³God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

³Bog skale moje, v njem mi bode zavetje, ščit moj in rešenja mojega rog, visoka trdnjava moja in moje pribežališče. Moj rešitelj, ti me rešuješ nasilstva!

⁴I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.

⁴Hvale vrednega GOSPODA bom klical in tako se rešim sovražnikov svojih.

⁵For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

⁵Kajti valovi smrti so me zagrnili, hudourniki Belijalovi so me prestrašili.

⁶The cords of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. were around me. The snares of death caught me.

⁶Peklenske vezi [Hebr. vezi šeola.] so me opele, smrtne zanke so me zajele.

⁷In my distress I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.

⁷V stiski svoji sem klical GOSPODA, da, klical sem k Bogu svojemu, in začul je glas moj iz svetišča svojega in vpitje moje je prišlo do ušes njegovih.

⁸Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

⁸Tu se je zgenila in stresla zemlja, podstave nebes so se gibale in majale, ker se je srdil.

⁹Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.

⁹Dim se je valil iz nosnic njegovih, in ogenj iz ust njegovih je požiral, žerjavica je prhala od njega.

¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰Nagnil je nebo ter stopil doli, in oblačna temota mu je bila pod nogami.

¹¹He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

¹¹In sedeč na kerubu, je letel, in videti ga je bilo na vetra perotih.

¹²He made darkness pavilions around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

¹²In temo si je napravil za šatore okoli sebe, grmade vodá, roje oblakov.

¹³At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.

¹³Od svita pred njim se je vnela žerjavica ognjena.

¹⁴Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.

¹⁴Na nebesih je grmel GOSPOD, in Najvišji je dal slišati svoj glas.

¹⁵He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.

¹⁵In izstrelil je pšice ter sovražnike razkropil, strelo, in jih je zbegal.

¹⁶Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁶Tedaj so se prikazale struge morja, podstave zemlje so se odgrnile po svarilu GOSPODOVEM, od sape jeze njegove.

¹⁷He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷Iz višine je posegel in me prijel, potegnil me je iz mnogih vodá.

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁸Rešil me je močnega neprijatelja mojega, sovražilcev mojih, ker so mi bili premočni.

¹⁹They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

¹⁹Naskočili so me ob dnevu nesreče moje, a GOSPOD mi je bil podpora

²⁰He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰in me je izpeljal na plano, rešil me je, ker me je ljubil.

²¹Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.

²¹Podelil mi je GOSPOD po pravičnosti moji, po čistosti mojih rok mi je povrnil.

²²For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

²²Kajti držal sem se poti GOSPODOVIH ter se nisem zlobno odvrnil od Boga svojega.

²³For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²³Zakaj vse sodbe njegove so bile pred mojimi očmi, in od postav njegovih nisem odstopil.

²⁴I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁴In popolnoma sem mu bil vdan ter sem se varoval, da ne ravnam krivično.

²⁵Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

²⁵In povrnil mi je GOSPOD po pravičnosti moji, po čistosti moji pred njegovimi očmi.

²⁶With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

²⁶Milosrčnemu se izkazuješ milosrčnega, popolnoma vdanemu se izkazuješ popolnega;

²⁷With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

²⁷kdor je čist, njemu se kažeš čistega, a popačenemu nasprotnega.

²⁸You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.

²⁸In ljudstvo ubogo otimlješ, proti prevzetnim pa so tvoje oči, da jih ponižaš.

²⁹For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.

²⁹Kajti ti si svetilnica moja, o GOSPOD! GOSPOD razjasnjuje tmine moje.

³⁰For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

³⁰Kajti s teboj prodiram skozi krdelo, z Bogom svojim preskakujem zid.

³¹As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

³¹Tega Boga mogočnega pot je brezmadežna; govor GOSPODOV je prečiščen; ščit je vsem, ki pribegajo k njemu.

³²For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?

³²Kajti kdo je Bog mogočni razen GOSPODA? in kdo skala razen našega Boga?

³³God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.

³³Bog mogočni je močna trdnjava moja in vodi v popolnosti mojo pot.

³⁴He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.

³⁴Stori noge moje enake jelenjim in me stavi na višine moje.

³⁵He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

³⁵Vadi za boj roke moje, da napnem z ramo svojo lok bronasti.

³⁶You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁶Dal si mi tudi zveličanja svojega ščit, in ljubeznivost tvoja me je poveličala.

³⁷You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.

³⁷Razširil si prostor korakom mojim pod mano, in členki mojih nog niso omagovali.

³⁸I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.

³⁸Zasledoval sem sovražnike svoje in jih zatiral, in nisem se vrnil, dokler niso bili pokončani.

³⁹I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.

³⁹Pokončal sem jih in zdrobil, da ne morejo vstati, da, padli so mi pod noge.

⁴⁰For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

⁴⁰Ker ti si me opasal z močjo za boj, upognil si podme nje, ki so se vzpenjali zoper mene.

⁴¹You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

⁴¹In zapodil si v beg sovražnike moje, da jih ugonobim, ki me sovražijo.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

⁴²Ozirali so se, a ni ga bilo, ki bi jih rešil – h GOSPODU, a ni jih uslišal.

⁴³Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

⁴³Tedaj sem jih strl kakor prah zemlje, pogazil in razteptal sem jih kakor blato na ulicah.

⁴⁴You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.

⁴⁴Ti si me tudi otel iz prepirov ljudstva mojega in si me ohranil, da bodem narodom za glavo; ljudstvo, ki ga nisem poznal, mi bo služilo.

⁴⁵The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.

⁴⁵Tujci se mi bodo vdajali z laskanjem; komaj začujejo o meni, se mi bodo pokorili.

⁴⁶The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.

⁴⁶Tujci bodo koprneli in pritrepetavali iz gradov svojih.

⁴⁷Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

⁴⁷Živ je GOSPOD; in hvaljena bodi skala moja in naj se povišuje Bog, skala rešenja mojega,

⁴⁸even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,

⁴⁸ta Bog mogočni, ki mi daje maščevanje in spravlja ljudstva podme

⁴⁹who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

⁴⁹in me izpeljava izsredi sovražnikov mojih. Da, ti me povzdiguješ nadnje, ki vstajajo zoper mene, siloviteža me otimlješ.

⁵⁰Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. Will sing praises to your name.

⁵⁰Zato te bom hvalil, o GOSPOD, med narodi in psalme prepeval imenu tvojemu.Veliko in obilo rešenje daje kralju svojemu in milost izkazuje maziljencu svojemu, Davidu, in semenu njegovemu na veke.

⁵¹He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore.”
