Psalmi 138

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

Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,

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.

and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.

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

When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;

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

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.

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

For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.

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

Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.

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

The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
