Псалтирь 138

1 Исповемся Тебе, Господи, всем сердцем моим, и пред ангелы воспою Тебе, яко услышал еси вся глаголы уст моих:

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].

2 поклонюся ко храму святому Твоему и исповемся имени Твоему о милости Твоей и истине Твоей, яко возвеличил еси над всем имя Твое святое.

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.

3 В оньже аще день призову Тя, скоро услыши мя: умножиши мя в души моей силою Твоею.

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

4 Да исповедятся Тебе, Господи, вси царие земстии, яко услышаша вся глаголголы уст Твоих:

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

5 и да воспоют в путех Господних, яко велия слава Господня:

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

6 яко высок Господь, и смиренныя призирает, и высокая издалеча весть.

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].

7 Аще пойду посреде скорби, живиши мя: на гнев враг моих простерл еси руку Твою, и спасе мя десница Твоя.

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.

8 Господь воздаст за мя: Господи, милость Твоя во век: дел руку Твоею не презри.

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.]
