Psalmi 138

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Davidov. Zahvaljujem ti, Jahve, iz svega srca jer si čuo riječi mojih usta. Pred licem anđela pjevam tebi,	1 Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:
2 bacam se nice prema svetom hramu tvojemu. Zahvaljujem imenu tvojem za tvoju dobrotu i vjernost, jer si nada sve uzveličao obećanje svoje.	2 On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.
3 Kad sam te zazvao, uslišio si me, dušu si moju pokrijepio.	3 For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.
4 Nek’ ti zahvaljuju, Jahve, svi kraljevi zemlje kad čuju riječi usta tvojih,	4 How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?
5 nek’ pjevaju putove Jahvine: »Zaista, velika je slava Jahvina!«	5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.
6 Zaista, uzvišen je Jahve, ali gleda na ponizna, a oholicu izdaleka poznaje.	6 Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.
7 Kroz nevolje kad budem kročio, život mi čuvaj, pruži ruku proti gnjevu mojih dušmana; nek’ me tvoja spasi desnica!	7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
8 Jahve, što ja počeh, ti dovrši! Jahve, vječna je ljubav tvoja: djelo ruku svojih ne zapusti!	8 O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.
	9 Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.
