Salmos 138

1 Alabarte he con todo mi corazón: delante de los dioses te cantaré salmos.

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

2 Encorvarme he al templo de tu santidad, y alabaré tu nombre sobre tu misericordia y tu verdad; porque has hecho magnífico tu nombre, y tu palabra sobre todas las cosas.

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 El día que te llamé, me respondiste, esforzásteme, y diste en mi alma fortaleza.

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

4 Confesarte han, o! Jehová, todos los reyes de la tierra; porque oyeron las palabras de tu boca.

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

5 Y cantarán en los caminos de Jehová: que la gloria de Jehová es grande.

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

6 Porque el alto Jehová mira al humilde, y al altivo conoce de lejos.

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

7 Si anduviere por medio de la angustia, me vivificarás: contra la ira de mis enemigos extenderás tu mano, y tu diestra me salvará.

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 Jehová cumplirá por mí, Jehová, tu misericordia es para siempre; no dejarás la obra de tus manos.

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