Psalmi 118
1 Aleluja! Zahvaljujte Jahvi jer je dobar, jer je vječna ljubav njegova!
Give thanks to the Lord for his goodness, his kindness endures forever.
2 Neka rekne dom Izraelov: “Vječna je ljubav njegova!”
Let the house of Israel now say: his kindness endures forever.
3 Neka rekne dom Aronov: “Vječna je ljubav njegova!”
Let the house of Aaron now say: his kindness endures forever.
4 Svi koji se Jahve boje neka reknu: “Vječna je ljubav njegova!”
Let those who fear the Lord now say: his kindness endures forever.
5 Iz tjeskobe Jahvu ja zazvah: on me usliša i oslobodi.
Out of straits I called on the Lord, the Lord answered and gave me room.
6 Jahve je sa mnom i ja ne strahujem: što mi tko može?
The Lord is mine; I am fearless. What can mere people do to me?
7 Jahve je sa mnom, pomoć moja, i zbunjene gledam dušmane.
The Lord is mine, as my help: I shall feast my eyes on my foes.
8 Bolje se Jahvi uteći nego se uzdat' u čovjeka.
It is better to hide in the Lord than to trust in mortals.
9 Bolje se Jahvi uteći nego se uzdat' u mogućnike.
It is better to hide in the Lord than to put any trust in princes.
10 Pogani me okružiše: imenom ih Jahvinim uništih.
Everywhere heathen swarmed round me; in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
11 Opkoliše me odasvud: imenom ih Jahvinim uništih.
They swarmed, swarmed around me; in the name of the Lord I cut them down,
12 Opkoliše me poput pčela, ubod im žeže kao trnje zapaljeno: imenom ih Jahvinim uništih.
they swarmed around me like bees, they blazed like a fire of thorns: in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
13 Gurahu me, gurahu, da me obore, ali mi Jahve pomože.
Sore they pushed me, to make me fall; but the Lord gave me his help.
14 Jahve je moja snaga i pjesma, on mi je spasitelj.
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he is become my salvation.
15 Čuj! Radost i spasenje odzvanja šatorima pravednika: Jahvina se proslavi desnica,
Hark! In the tents of the righteous glad cries of victory are ringing. The hand of the Lord has wrought bravely,
16 Jahvina me uzdigne desnica, Jahvina se proslavi desnica!
the hand of the Lord is exalted, the hand of the Lord has wrought bravely.
17 Ne, umrijeti neću nego živjeti i kazivat ću djela Jahvina.
I shall not die: nay, I shall live, to declare the works of the Lord.
18 Kaznom teškom kaznio me Jahve, ali me smrti ne preda.
Though the Lord has chastened me sore, he has not given me over to death. (The Procession arrives at the Temple)
19 Otvorite mi širom vrata pravde: ući ću, Jahvi zahvalit'!
“Open to me the gates of victory. I would enter therein and give thanks to the Lord.” (The Welcome)
20 “Ovo su vrata Jahvina, na njih ulaze pravedni!”
“This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous may enter therein;”
21 Zahvalit ću ti što si me uslišio i moj postao spasitelj.
I thank you because you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
22 Kamen što ga odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavni.
The stone which the builders despised is become the head-stone of the corner.
23 Jahvino je to djelo: kakvo čudo u očima našim!
This has been wrought by the Lord; it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 Ovo je dan što ga učini Jahve: kličimo i radujmo se njemu!
This day is the Lord’s own creation: in it let us joy and be glad.
25 O Jahve, spasenje nam daj! Jahve, sreću nam daj!
O Lord, save us, we pray, O Lord, prosper, we pray.
26 Blagoslovljen koji dolazi u imenu Jahvinu! Blagoslivljamo vas iz Doma Jahvina!
Blessed the one who enters in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you.
27 Obasjao nas Bog Jahve! Složite povorku s grančicama u ruci sve do rogova žrtvenika.
The Lord is God, he has given us light. Wreathe the dance with boughs, till they touch the horns of the altar.
28 Ti si Bog moj - tebi zahvaljujem: Bože moj, tebe ja uzvisujem.
You are my God, I will thank you; O my God, I will exalt you.
29 Zahvaljujte Jahvi jer je dobar, jer je vječna ljubav njegova!
