Žalmy

1 (CPDV) A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
1 (ROH) Náčelníkovi speváckeho sboru. Žalm Dávidov. Pripomínať.

2 (CPDV) Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline your ear to me, and save me.
2 (ROH) Bože, pospieš ma vytrhnúť, Hospodine, ponáhľaj sa mi na pomoc!

3 (CPDV) Be a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
3 (ROH) Nech sa hanbia a rumenejú tí, ktorí hľadajú moju dušu! Nech uhnú zpät a stydia sa tí, ktorí chcú moje zlé.

4 (CPDV) Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
4 (ROH) Nech sa obrátia zpät pre svoju hanbu tí, ktorí vo zlom hovoria: Aha, aha!

5 (CPDV) For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
5 (ROH) Nech sa veselia a radujú v tebe všetci, ktorí ťa hľadajú, a tí, ktorí milujú tvoje spasenie, nech vždycky hovoria: Nech je velebený Bôh!

6 (CPDV) In you, I have been confirmed from conception. From my mother’s womb, you are my protector. In you, I will sing forever.
6 (ROH) Ale ja som biedny a chudobný; Bože, ponáhľaj sa ku mne! Mojou pomocou a mojím vysloboditeľom si ty! Hospodine, neodkladaj!

7 (CPDV) I have become to many as if I were a portent, but you are a strong helper.
7 ----

8 (CPDV) Let my mouth be filled with praise, so that I may sing your glory, your greatness all day long.
8 ----

9 (CPDV) Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.
9 ----

10 (CPDV) For my enemies have spoken against me. And those who watched for my soul have taken counsel as one,
10 ----

11 (CPDV) saying: “God has abandoned him. Pursue and overtake him. For there is no one to rescue him.”
11 ----

12 (CPDV) O God, do not be far from me. O my God, provide for my assistance.
12 ----

13 (CPDV) May they be confounded, and may they fail, who drag down my soul. Let them be covered with confusion and shame, who seek evils for me.
13 ----

14 (CPDV) But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all your praise.
14 ----

15 (CPDV) My mouth will announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.
15 ----

16 (CPDV) I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.
16 ----

17 (CPDV) You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,
17 ----

18 (CPDV) even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
18 ----

19 (CPDV) and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O God, who is like you?
19 ----

20 (CPDV) How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.
20 ----

21 (CPDV) You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.
21 ----

22 (CPDV) Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.
22 ----

23 (CPDV) My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.
23 ----

24 (CPDV) And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
