Psalmi 103

1 Davidov. Blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja, i sve što je u meni, sveto ime njegovo!

Of David. O my soul, bless the Lord; and all that is in me, his holy name.

2 Blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja, i ne zaboravi dobročinstva njegova:

O my soul, bless the Lord; and forget not one of his benefits.

3 on ti otpušta sve grijehe tvoje, on iscjeljuje sve slabosti tvoje;

He pardons all your sins, he heals all your diseases.

4 on ti od propasti čuva život, kruni te dobrotom i ljubavlju;

He ransoms your life from the pit, he crowns you with kindness and pity.

5 život ti ispunja dobrima, k'o orlu ti se mladost obnavlja.

He gives you your heart’s desire, renewing your youth like the eagle’s.

6 Jahve čini pravedna djela i potlačenima vraća pravicu,

The Lord executes justice – and right for all who are wronged.

7 Mojsiju objavi putove svoje, sinovima Izraelovim djela svoja.

He revealed his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.

8 Milosrdan i milostiv je Jahve, spor na srdžbu i vrlo dobrostiv.

Full of pity and grace is the Lord, patient, and rich in kindness:

9 Jarostan nije za vječna vremena niti dovijeka plamti srdžba njegova.

he will not always chide, nor cherish his anger forever.

10 Ne postupa s nama po grijesima našim niti nam plaća po našim krivnjama.

Not after our sins has he dealt with us, nor requited us after our wickedness.

11 Jer kako je nebo visoko nad zemljom, dobrota je njegova s onima koji ga se boje.

For high as the heavens o’er the earth is his love over those who fear him.

12 Kako je istok daleko od zapada, tako udaljuje od nas bezakonja naša.

Far as is east from the west has he put our transgressions from us.

13 Kako se otac smiluje dječici, tako se Jahve smiluje onima što ga se boje.

As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him;

14 Jer dobro zna kako smo sazdani, spominje se da smo prašina.

for well he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust.

15 Dani su čovjekovi kao sijeno, cvate k'o cvijetak na njivi;

A person’s days are as grass; blossoms like a flower of the meadow.

16 jedva ga dotakne vjetar, i već ga nema, ne pamti ga više ni mjesto njegovo.

At the breath of the wind it is gone, and the place thereof knows it no more.

17 Al' ljubav Jahvina vječna je nad onima što ga se boje i njegova pravda nad sinovima sinova,

But the love of the Lord is eternal, and his kindness to children’s children,

18 nad onima što njegov Savez čuvaju i pamte mu zapovijedi da ih izvrše.

to those who keep his covenant and mindfully do his behests.

19 Jahve u nebu postavi prijestolje svoje, i kraljevska vlast svemir mu obuhvaća.

The Lord has set his throne in the heavens; the whole world is under his sway.

20 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, svi anđeli njegovi, vi jaki u sili, što izvršujete naredbe njegove, poslušni riječi njegovoj!

Bless the Lord, you angels of his, mighty heroes performing his word.

21 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, sve vojske njegove, sluge njegove koje činite volju njegovu!

Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you servants who do his will.

22 Blagoslivljajte Jahvu, sva djela njegova, na svakome mjestu vlasti njegove: blagoslivljaj Jahvu, dušo moja!

Bless the Lord, all you his works, far as his sway extends. O my soul, bless the Lord.
