Psalmi 138

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

“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;

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

I will worship toward thy holy temple, And praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!

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

In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!

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

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; For great is the glory of the LORD.

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

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know from afar.

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

Though I walk through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

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

The LORD will perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
