Salmos 138

1 De David. Quiero celebrarte, Yahvé, con todo mi corazón, porque oíste las palabras de mi boca; quiero cantarte delante de los reyes.

A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

2 Me postraré ante tu santo Templo, y alabaré tu Nombre por tu misericordia y tu fidelidad; porque has engrandecido tu Palabra sobre todas las cosas.

I will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

3 El día en que (te) invoqué Tú me oíste y multiplicaste la fuerza en mi alma.

In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

4 Te alabarán, Yahvé, todos los reyes de la tierra cuando hayan oído los oráculos de tu boca;

Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

5 y cantarán los caminos de Yahvé: “Grande es ciertamente la gloria de Yahvé.

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 Sí, Yahvé, siendo excelso, pone los ojos en el humilde y mira como lejos de sí al soberbio.”

For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

7 Cuando camino en medio de la tribulación, Tú conservas mi vida; tiendes tu mano contra la ira de mis enemigos, y tu diestra me salva.

Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

8 Yahvé acabará para mí lo que ha comenzado. Yahvé, tu misericordia permanece eternamente; no abandones la obra de tus manos.

O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
