Psalms 138

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

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

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.

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 In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

6 Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows far off.

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

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

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