Psalms 138

Davidov. Zahvaljujem ti, Jahve, iz svega srca jer si čuo riječi mojih usta. Pred licem anđela pjevam tebi,

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

bacam se nice prema svetom Hramu tvojemu. Zahvaljujem imenu tvojem za tvoju dobrotu i vjernost, jer si nada sve uzveličao obećanje svoje.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Kad sam te zazvao, uslišio si me, dušu si moju pokrijepio.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

Nek' ti zahvaljuju, Jahve, svi kraljevi zemlje kad čuju riječi usta tvojih,

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

nek' pjevaju putove Jahvine: "Zaista, velika je slava Jahvina!"

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

Zaista, uzvišen je Jahve, ali gleda na ponizna, a oholicu izdaleka poznaje.

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Kroz nevolje kad budem kročio, život mi čuvaj, pruži ruku proti gnjevu mojih dušmana; nek' me tvoja spasi desnica!

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

Jahve, što ja počeh, ti dovrši! Jahve, vječna je ljubav tvoja: djelo ruku svojih ne zapusti!

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
