Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

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

2 I will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

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

3 In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

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

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

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

5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

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

6 For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

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

7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

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

8 O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.

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