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].

Un salmo de David. Doy gracias a Dios con todo mi ser; cantaré tus alabanzas ante los seres celestiales.

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, estoy agradecido con tu santo nombre, por tu amor y fidelidad, y porque tus promesas son más grandes que lo que la gente espera.

3 On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.

De día clamé a ti por ayuda, y tú me respondiste. Me animaste y me hiciste fuerte.

4 Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.

Todos los reyes de la tierra de alabarán, Señor, porque han oído tus palabras.

5 They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.

Cantarán de lo que el Señor ha hecho y de la gloria del Señor.

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].

Aunque el Señor esté en lo más alto, presta atención a los humildes; pero reconoce al orgulloso desde muy lejos.

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.

Aunque camine entre muchos problemas, tú me proteges. Llegas a donde mí y me defiendes de la ira de los que me odian, tus manos fuertes me salvan.

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.]

¡El Señor me reivindica! Señor, tu gran amor perdura para siempre! ¡No abandones la obra de tus manos!
