Psalms 138
1 Yahweh, I thank you with all my inner being. I sing to praise you in front of [the idols of false] gods [to ridicule/belittle them].
De David. Quiero celebrarte, Yahvé, con todo mi corazón, porque oíste las palabras de mi boca; quiero cantarte delante de los reyes.
2 I bow down while I look towards your sacred temple, and I thank you [MTY] because you faithfully love [us] and faithfully do all that you have promised. You have shown that both you [MTY] and what you have promised to do are greater than anything else.
Me postraré ante tu santo Templo, y alabaré tu Nombre por tu misericordia y tu fidelidad; porque has engrandecido tu Palabra sobre todas las cosas.
3 On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.
El día en que (te) invoqué Tú me oíste y multiplicaste la fuerza en mi alma.
4 Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.
Te alabarán, Yahvé, todos los reyes de la tierra cuando hayan oído los oráculos de tu boca;
5 They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.
y cantarán los caminos de Yahvé: “Grande es ciertamente la gloria de Yahvé.
6 Yahweh, you are supreme, but you take care of people [who are considered to be] unimportant. And you know what proud people [are doing], even though they are far away [from you and think that you do not see them].
Sí, Yahvé, siendo excelso, pone los ojos en el humilde y mira como lejos de sí al soberbio.”
7 When I am in the midst of [many] troubles/difficulties, you save/rescue me. With your hand/power [MTY] you rescue me from my enemies who are angry at me.
Cuando camino en medio de la tribulación, Tú conservas mi vida; tiendes tu mano contra la ira de mis enemigos, y tu diestra me salva.
8 Yahweh, you will do for me everything that you promised; you faithfully love [us] forever. Finish what you started to do [for us, your Israeli people.]
Yahvé acabará para mí lo que ha comenzado. Yahvé, tu misericordia permanece eternamente; no abandones la obra de tus manos.
