Psalms 138

1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

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

2 I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great 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 I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

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

4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

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

5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

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

6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

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

7 If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

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

8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!

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