Psalms 138

1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, YHWH, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

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

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

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 that I called, you answered me. You encouraged 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 will give you thanks, YHWH, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

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

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHWH; for great is YHWH's glory.

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

6 For though YHWH is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

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 will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will 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 YHWH will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, YHWH, endures forever. Do not forsake 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.
