Psalmi 138

1 Davidov. Zahvaljujem ti, Jahve, iz svega srca jer si čuo riječi mojih usta. Pred licem anđela pjevam tebi,

BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

2 bacam se nice prema svetom Hramu tvojemu. Zahvaljujem imenu tvojem za tvoju dobrotu i vjernost, jer si nada sve uzveličao obećanje svoje.

I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

3 Kad sam te zazvao, uslišio si me, dušu si moju pokrijepio.

In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

4 Nek' ti zahvaljuju, Jahve, svi kraljevi zemlje kad čuju riječi usta tvojih,

O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

5 nek' pjevaju putove Jahvine: “Zaista, velika je slava Jahvina!”

And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

6 Zaista, uzvišen je Jahve, ali gleda na ponizna, a oholicu izdaleka poznaje.

For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

7 Kroz nevolje kad budem kročio, život mi čuvaj, pruži ruku proti gnjevu mojih dušmana; nek' me tvoja spasi desnica!

If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

8 Jahve, što ja počeh, ti dovrši! Jahve, vječna je ljubav tvoja: djelo ruku svojih ne zapusti!

YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
