Biblia - Sväté písmo

(KJV - Anglický - King James)

Ž 65, 1-13

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: 6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: 7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Z 65,1 - Žalm bol určený na verejnú bohoslužbu a najskôr sa spieval pred žatvou, teda na veľkonočné sviatky - "pesah". V druhý deň tohto sviatku sa už obetoval snôpok jačmeňa z novej úrody.

Z 65,2 - Zo Siona Pán rozdáva svoje milosti, preto sa mu tu treba aj poďakovať a splniť sľuby, ktorými si ľud vyprosil dobrodenia od Pána.

Z 65,10 - "Božia rieka", totižto dážď, ktorý prichádzal na zem - podľa semitského poňatia - z osobitných nádrží, umiestnených v nebesách.

Z 65,12 - Boh sa v SZ zobrazuje na voze z mračien a kade prechádza, roznáša požehnanie a hojnosť úrody (Dt 33,26).
