Psalms 138

1 By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

Davidova. Slavil te bodem iz vsega srca svojega; v pričo oblastev bodem ti prepeval.

2 I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

Priklanjal se bodem proti svetišču svetosti tvoje, in slavil ime tvoje, zavoljo milosti tvoje in zavoljo tvoje zvestobe; ker poveličuješ z vsem imenom svojim govor svoj.

3 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

Kateri dan sem vpil, tisti dan si me uslišal; storil si, da me je povzdignila v srci mojem moč.

4 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

Slavili te bodo, Gospod, vsi kralji zemeljski, ko bodo slišali govor tvojih ust.

5 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

In peli bodo s potov Gospodovih, da je velika slava Gospodova.

6 For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

Dasì je vzvišen Gospod, vendar gleda na nizkega; dasi visok, spoznava iz daljave.

7 If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

Ako hodim po sredi stiske, ohraniš me živega; v obraz sovražnikov mojih iztegneš roko svojo, in desnica tvoja me ohrani.

8 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

Gospod naj doprinese zame; Gospod, milost tvoja je vekomaj; od rok svojih dél ne odjenjaj!
