Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

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

2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

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.

3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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

4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

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

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

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

6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

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

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

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

8 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.

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