Psalmi 138

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

A psalm of David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you.

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 bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.

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

On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold 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, Yahweh, for they will hear the words from your mouth.

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

Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.

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

For though Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from far off.

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 middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me.

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

Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.
