Psalms 138
1 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].
Eu te louvarei, Senhor, de todo o meu coração: na presença dos deuses a ti cantarei louvores.
2 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.
Inclinar-me-ei para o teu santo templo, e louvarei o teu nome pela sua benignidade, e pela tua verdade: pois engrandeceste a tua palavra acima de todo o teu nome.
3 On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.
No dia em que eu clamei, me escutaste; e alentaste com força a minha alma.
4 Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.
Todos os reis da terra te louvarão, ó Senhor, quando ouvirem as palavras da tua boca;
5 They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.
E cantarão os caminhos do Senhor; pois grande é a glória do Senhor.
6 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].
Ainda que o Senhor é excelso, atende todavia para o humilde; mas ao soberbo conhece-o de longe.
7 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.
Andando eu no meio da angústia, tu me reviverás: estenderás a tua mão contra a ira dos meus inimigos, e a tua dextra me salvará.
8 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.]
O Senhor aprefeiçoará o que me toca; a tua benignidade, ó Senhor, dura para sempre; não desampares as obras das tuas mãos.
