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].

Te alabaré de todo corazón: te haré melodía delante de los dioses.

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.

Y adoraré delante de tu santo templo, y alabaré tu nombre por tu misericordia y por tu fe inmutable; porque has hecho tu palabra mayor que todo tu nombre.

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

Cuando mi llanto llegó a tus oídos, me diste una respuesta, y me engrandeciaste con 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.

Todos los reyes de la tierra te alabarán, oh Señor, cuando las palabras de tu boca les lleguen sus oídos.

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

Ellos harán canciones acerca de los caminos del Señor; porque grande es 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 está alto, él ve a los que están bajos; y él tiene conocimiento desde lejos de aquellos que son altivos.

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.

Aun cuando me rodean los problemas, me darás la vida; tu mano se extenderá contra la ira de mis enemigos, y tu diestra será mi salvación.

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 hará todas las cosas para mí: Señor, tu misericordia es eterna; no renuncies a las obras de tus manos.
