Księga Psalmów 138

Biblia Tysiąclecia	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Dawidowy. Będę Cię sławił, " Panie ", z całego mego serca, " bo usłyszałeś słowa ust moich " : będę śpiewał Ci wobec aniołów.	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me.
2 Oddam Ci pokłon ku Twemu świętemu przybytkowi. I będę dziękował Twemu imieniu za łaskę Twoją i wierność, bo wywyższyłeś ponad wszystko Twoje imię i obietnicę.	2 You have known my sitting down and my rising up again.
3 Kiedym Cię wzywał, wysłuchałeś mnie, pomnożyłeś siłę mej duszy.	3 You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated.
4 Wszyscy królowie ziemi będą Ci dziękować, Panie, gdy posłyszą słowa ust Twoich;	4 And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue.
5 i będą opiewać drogi Pańskie: Prawdziwie, chwała Pańska jest wielka.	5 Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me.
6 Prawdziwie, Pan jest wzniosły i patrzy łaskawie na pokornego, pyszałka zaś dostrzega z daleka.	6 Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
7 Gdy chodzę wśród utrapienia, Ty zapewniasz mi życie, wbrew gniewowi mych wrogów; wyciągasz swą rękę, Twoja prawica mnie wybawia.	7 Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face?
8 Pan za mnie [wszystkiego] dokona. Panie, na wieki trwa Twoja łaska, nie porzucaj dzieła rąk Twoich!	8 If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near.
	9 If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
	10 even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
	11 And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
	12 But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
	13 For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
	14 I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
	15 My bone, which you have made in secret, has not been hidden from you, and my substance is in accord with the lower parts of the earth.
	16 Your eyes saw my imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them.
	17 But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened.
	18 I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.
	19 O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me.
	20 For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain.
	21 Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies?
	22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.
	23 Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Question me, and know my paths.
	24 And see if there might be in me the way of iniquity, and lead me in the way of eternity.
