Psalms 138

1 A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

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

2 I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

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 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

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

4 All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

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

5 And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

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

6 For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

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

7 Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue 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 performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.

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