Salmos 138

1 Oh Yavé, te doy gracias con todo mi corazón. Te cantaré alabanzas delante de los ʼelohim.

Yahweh, I thank you with all my inner being. I sing to praise you in front of [the idols of false] gods [to ridicule/belittle them].

2 Me postraré hacia tu santo Templo Y daré gracias a tu Nombre por tu misericordia y tu verdad, Porque engrandeciste tu Palabra por encima de todo tu Nombre.

I bow down while I look towards your sacred temple, and I thank you [MTY] because you faithfully love [us] and faithfully do all that you have promised. You have shown that both you [MTY] and what you have promised to do are greater than anything else.

3 El día cuando invoqué, Tú me respondiste. Me volviste atrevido con fortaleza en mi alma.

On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.

4 Todos los reyes de la tierra te darán gracias, oh Yavé, Cuando oigan las Palabras de tu boca.

Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.

5 Y cantarán de los caminos de Yavé, ¡Porque grande es la gloria de Yavé!

They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.

6 Porque aunque Yavé es exaltado, Sin embargo, atiende al humilde, Pero al altivo conoce de lejos.

Yahweh, you are supreme, but you take care of people [who are considered to be] unimportant. And you know what proud people [are doing], even though they are far away [from you and think that you do not see them].

7 Aunque yo ande en medio de la aflicción, Tú me vivificarás. Extenderás tu mano contra la ira de mis enemigos, Y me salvará tu mano derecha.

When I am in the midst of [many] troubles/difficulties, you save/rescue me. With your hand/power [MTY] you rescue me from my enemies who are angry at me.

8 Yavé hará lo que concierne a mí. Oh Yavé, tu misericordia es para siempre, No desampares la obra de tus manos.

Yahweh, you will do for me everything that you promised; you faithfully love [us] forever. Finish what you started to do [for us, your Israeli people.]
