Psalms 138

1 I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

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

2 I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

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

3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

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

4 May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy 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 looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

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

7 If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

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

8 The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.

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