Psalms 138

1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.

Jeg vil prise dig af mit ganske Hjerte; over for Guderne vil jeg lovsynge dig.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.

Jeg vil kaste mig ned for dit hellige Tempel og prise dit Navn for din Miskundhed og for din Sandhed; thi du har gjort dit Ord herligt over al dit Navns Herlighed.

3 Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Den Dag, jeg kaldte, da bønhørte du mig; du gav mig Mod, i min Sjæl kom Styrke.

4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

Herre! alle Konger paa Jorden skulle prise dig; thi de have hørt din Munds Ord.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

Og de skulle synge om Herrens Veje; thi stor er Herrens Ære.

6 For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.

Thi Herren er høj og ser til den ringe, og den stolte kender han i det fjerne.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

Naar jeg vandrer midt i Angest, vil du holde mig i Live; du vil udrække din Haand imod mine Fjenders Vrede, og din højre Haand vil frelse mig.

8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Herren skal fuldføre det for mig; Herre! din Miskundhed varer evindelig, opgiv ikke dine Hænders Gerninger.
