Psalmi 138

1 Dāvida dziesma. Es Tev pateicos no visas savas sirds, dievu priekšā es Tev gribu dziedāt.

A psalm of David. I thank you with my whole being; I sing your praises before the heavenly beings.

2 Es pielūgšu Tavā svētā namā, un pateikšos Tavam vārdam par Tavu žēlastību un patiesību, jo Tu pāri par Savu vārdu esi paaugstinājis Savas apsolīšanas.

I bow down before your holy Temple, and I am thankful because of who you are—for your trustworthy love and faithfulness—and for the fact that your promises are even greater than what people expect of you.

3 Tai dienā, kad es piesaucu, tad Tu mani paklausīji, Tu manai dvēselei esi devis drošību un spēku.

On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.

4 Visi ķēniņi virs zemes Tev pateiksies, Kungs, kad tie dzirdēs Tavas mutes vārdus,

All the kings of the earth will praise you, Lord, for they have heard what you have said.

5 Un tie dziedās no Tā Kunga ceļiem, jo Tā Kunga godība ir liela.

They will sing about what the Lord has done and about the great glory of the Lord.

6 Jo Tas Kungs ir augsts, un taču Viņš uzlūko pazemīgo un pazīst lepno no tālienes.

Though the Lord is high above, he pays attention to the lowly; but he recognizes the proud a long way off.

7 Kad es staigāju pašā bēdu vidū, tad Tu mani atspirdzini; Tu izstiep Savu roku pret manu ienaidnieku dusmību, un Tava labā roka man palīdz.

Even though I walk into a great deal of trouble, you protect me. You reach out to defend me from the anger of those who hate me—your strong hand saves me.

8 Tas Kungs to priekš manis izdarīs. Tava žēlastība, Kungs, paliek mūžīgi; Savu roku darbu Tu neatstāsi.

The Lord vindicates me! Lord, your trustworthy love lasts forever! Don't give up on what you have made!
