Psalms 138

1 Of David. I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.

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

2 I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your 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 When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great 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 will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

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

5 They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

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

6 Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

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

7 Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

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 The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.

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