Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

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

2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

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

3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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

4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

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

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

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

6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

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

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

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

8 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.

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