Psalms 138

1 Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

Hvalil te bom s svojim celotnim srcem; pred bogovi ti bom prepeval hvalnico.

2 I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

Oboževal te bom pred tvojim svetim templjem in tvoje ime hvalil zaradi tvoje ljubeče skrbnosti in zaradi tvoje resnice, kajti svojo besedo si poveličal nad vse svoje ime.

3 On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

Na dan, ko sem klical, mi odgovarjaš in me v moji duši krepiš z močjo.

4 All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

Vsi kralji zemlje te bodo hvalili, oh Gospod, ko slišijo besede iz tvojih ust.

5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

Da, prepevali bodo na Gospodovih poteh, kajti velika je Gospodova slava.

6 Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

Čeprav je Gospod vzvišen, vendar ima spoštovanje do nizkega, toda ponosnega spozna od daleč.

7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

Čeprav hodim sredi stiske, me boš ti poživil. Zoper bes mojih sovražnikov boš iztegnil svojo roko in tvoja desnica me bo rešila.

8 The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.

Gospod bo dovršil to, kar zadeva mene. Tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod, vztraja večno; ne zapusti del svojih lastnih rok.
