Psalmi 138

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

[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

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 worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

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

Yea, they shall sing of 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 though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth 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.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

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

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
