Psalmi 138

1 Hvalil te bom s svojim celotnim srcem; pred bogovi ti bom prepeval hvalnico.

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

2 Oboževal te bom pred tvojim svetim templjem in tvoje ime hvalil zaradi tvoje ljubeče skrbnosti in zaradi tvoje resnice, kajti svojo besedo si poveličal nad vse svoje ime.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 Na dan, ko sem klical, mi odgovarjaš in me v moji duši krepiš z močjo.

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

4 Vsi kralji zemlje te bodo hvalili, oh Gospod, ko slišijo besede iz tvojih ust.

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 Da, prepevali bodo na Gospodovih poteh, kajti velika je Gospodova slava.

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Čeprav je Gospod vzvišen, vendar ima spoštovanje do nizkega, toda ponosnega spozna od daleč.

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 Čeprav hodim sredi stiske, me boš ti poživil. Zoper bes mojih sovražnikov boš iztegnil svojo roko in tvoja desnica me bo rešila.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 Gospod bo dovršil to, kar zadeva mene. Tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod, vztraja večno; ne zapusti del svojih lastnih rok.

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
