Psalmi 138

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

Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.

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 will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.

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

On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.

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

May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.

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

And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.

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

For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.

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 wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.

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

The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
