Psalmi 138

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Davidov. Zahvaljujem ti, Jahve, iz svega srca jer si čuo riječi mojih usta. Pred licem anđela pjevam tebi,	1 [Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart, for you have listened to the cry I uttered. In thepresence of angels I sing to you,
2 bacam se nice prema svetom hramu tvojemu. Zahvaljujem imenu tvojem za tvoju dobrotu i vjernost, jer si nada sve uzveličao obećanje svoje.	2 I bow down before your holy Temple. I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy;your promises surpass even your fame.
3 Kad sam te zazvao, uslišio si me, dušu si moju pokrijepio.	3 You heard me on the day when I cal ed, and you gave new strength to my heart.
4 Nek’ ti zahvaljuju, Jahve, svi kraljevi zemlje kad čuju riječi usta tvojih,	4 Al the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh, when they hear the promises you make;
5 nek’ pjevaju putove Jahvine: »Zaista, velika je slava Jahvina!«	5 they sing of Yahweh's ways, 'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'
6 Zaista, uzvišen je Jahve, ali gleda na ponizna, a oholicu izdaleka poznaje.	6 Sublime as he is, Yahweh looks on the humble, the proud he picks out from afar.
7 Kroz nevolje kad budem kročio, život mi čuvaj, pruži ruku proti gnjevu mojih dušmana; nek’ me tvoja spasi desnica!	7 Though I live surrounded by trouble you give me life -- to my enemies' fury! You stretch out your righthand and save me,
8 Jahve, što ja počeh, ti dovrši! Jahve, vječna je ljubav tvoja: djelo ruku svojih ne zapusti!	8 Yahweh will do al things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what you have made.
