< Psalms 138 >
1 Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,
Slavim te, Gospode, od svega srca svojega, pred bogovima pjevam tebi.
2 and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.
Poklanjam se pred svetom crkvom tvojom, i slavim ime tvoje, za dobrotu tvoju i za istinu tvoju; jer si po svakom imenu svom podigao rijeè svoju.
3 When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.
U dan, u koji zazvah, ti si me uslišio, dunuo slobodu u dušu moju.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;
Slaviæe te, Gospode, svi carevi zemaljski, kad èuju rijeèi usta tvojih;
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.
I pjevaæe putove Gospodnje, jer je velika slava Gospodnja.
6 For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.
Jer je visok Gospod, i vidi niskoga, i visokoga izdaleka poznaje.
7 Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.
Ako poðem u tuzi, ti æeš me oživiti; na zloæu neprijatelja mojih pružiæeš ruku svoju i zakloniæe me desnica tvoja.
8 The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
Gospod æe svršiti za mene. Gospode! milost je tvoja dovijeka; djela ruku svojih ne ostavljaj.
