Psalms 138

1 I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.

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

2 I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your 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 when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.

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

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

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

5 Yes, they shall 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 Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knows afar off.

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

7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall 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 perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.

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