Psalm 50 as read by David Byler

The Mighty God hath spoken

Psalm 50
King James Version (KJV)
English text followed by Croatian / Engleski tekst slijede hrvatski

1 The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

1 Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
2 Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
3 Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
4 On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
5 "Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!"
6 Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
7 "Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
8 Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
9 Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
10 tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
11 Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
12 Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
13 Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
14 Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
15 I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti."
16 A grešniku Bog progovara: "Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
17 Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
18 Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
19 Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
20 U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
21 Sve si to činio, a ja da šutim? Zar misliš da sam ja tebi sličan? Pokarat ću te i stavit ću ti sve to pred oči."
22 Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
23 Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.

Psalm 49

Hear this, all ye people

Psalm 49
King James Version (KJV)
English text followed by Croatian / Engleski tekst slijede hrvatski

1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.



1 Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Psalam.
2 Poslušajte ovo, svi narodi, čujte, svi stanovnici zemlje,
3 vi, djeco puka, i vi, odličnici, bogati i siromašni zajedno!
4 Moja će usta zboriti mudrost, i moje srce misli razumne.
5 K poučnoj izreci priklonit ću uho, uz harfu ću izložit' svoju zagonetku.
6 Što da se bojim u danima nesreće kad me opkoli zloba izdajica
7 koji se u blago svoje uzdaju i silnim se hvale bogatstvom?
8 TÓa nitko sebe ne može otkupit' ni za se dati Bogu otkupninu:
9 životu je cijena previsoka, i nikada je neće platiti
10 tko želi živjeti dovijeka i ne vidjeti jamu grobnu.
11 Jer, i mudri umiru, pogiba i luđak i bezumnik: bogatstvo svoje ostavlja drugima.
12 Grobovi im kuće zasvagda, stanovi njihovi od koljena do koljena, sve ako se zemlje nazivale imenima njihovim.
13 Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
14 Takav je put onih koji se ludo uzdaju, to je konac onih koji uživaju u sreći:
15 Poput stada redaju se u Podzemlju, smrt im je pastir, a dobri njima vladaju. Njihova će lika brzo nestati, Podzemlje će im biti postojbina.
16 A moju će dušu Bog ugrabiti Podzemlju iz pandža i milostivo me primiti.
17 Ne boj se ako se tko obogati i ako se poveća blago doma njegova:
18 kad umre, ništa neće ponijeti sa sobom, i blago njegovo neće s njime sići.
19 Ako se u životu držao sretnim - "Govorit će se da ti je dobro bilo!" -
20 i on će doći u skup otaca svojih, gdje svjetlosti više vidjeti neće.
21 Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.

Psalm 48

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God

Psalm 48
King James Version (KJV)
English text followed by Croatian / Engleski tekst slijede hrvatski

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih.
2 Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
3 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
4 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
5 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
6 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
7 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
8 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
9 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
10 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
11 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
12 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
13 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
14 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
15 "Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!"

Psalm 46

Psalm 46 as read by David Byler from the King James Version (KJV)
English text followed by Croatian / Engleski tekst slijede hrvatski

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

1 Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Po napjevu "Djevice". Pjesma.
46:2) Bog nam je zaklon i utvrda, pomoćnik spreman u nevolji.
2 (46:3) Stoga, ne bojmo se kad se ljulja zemlja, kad se bregovi ruše u more.
3 (46:4) Nek' buče i bjesne valovi morski, nek' bregovi dršću od žestine njihove: s nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!
4 (46:5) Rijeka i rukavci njezini vesele Grad Božji, presveti šator Višnjega.
5 (46:6) Bog je sred njega, poljuljat se neće, od rane zore Bog mu pomaže.
6 (46:7) Ma bješnjeli puci, rušila se carstva, kad glas njegov zagrmi, zemlja se rastopi:
7 (46:8) s nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!
8 (46:9) Dođite, gledajte djela Jahvina, strahote koje on na zemlji učini.
9 (46:10) Do nakraj zemlje on ratove prekida, lukove krši i lomi koplja, štitove ognjem sažiže.
10 (46:11) Prestanite i znajte da sam ja Bog, uzvišen nad pucima, nad svom zemljom uzvišen!
11 (46:12) S nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!
