Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

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

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy 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 thou answeredst me, [and] strengthenedst 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 thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy 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 hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

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

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy 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] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

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