Psalmi 138

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

By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

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 bow down towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

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

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

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

Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!

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

For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud 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 in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

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

The LORD will fulfil that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
