Psalm 138
A psalm of David.
1Lord, I will praise you with all my heart.
In front of those who think they are gods
I will sing praise to you.
2I will bow down facing your holy temple.
I will praise your name,
because you are always loving and faithful.
You have honored your holy word
even more than your own fame.
3When I called out to you, you answered me.
You made me strong and brave.
4Lord, may all the kings on earth praise you
when they hear about what you have decided.
5Lord, may they sing about what you have done,
because your glory is great.
6Though the Lord is high above all, he cares for the lowly.
Though he is in heaven above, he sees them on earth below.
7Trouble is all around me,
but you keep me alive.
You reach out your hand to put a stop to the anger of my enemies.
With your powerful right hand you save me.
8Lord, you will show that I was right to trust you.
Lord, your faithful love continues forever.
You have done so much for us, so don’t stop now.
Salmo 138
Salmo de David.
1Señor, quiero alabarte de todo corazón
y cantarte salmos delante de los dioses.
2Quiero postrarme hacia tu santo Templo
y alabar tu nombre
por tu gran amor y fidelidad.
Porque has exaltado tu nombre
y tu palabra sobre todas las cosas.
3Cuando te llamé, me respondiste;
me infundiste ánimo y renovaste mis fuerzas.
4Oh Señor, todos los reyes de la tierra
te alabarán al escuchar tus palabras.
5Celebrarán con cánticos tus caminos,
porque tu gloria, Señor, es grande.
6El Señor es excelso,
pero toma en cuenta al humilde
y reconoce de lejos al orgulloso.
7Aunque pase por grandes angustias,
tú me darás vida;
contra el furor de mis enemigos extenderás la mano:
¡tu mano derecha me pondrá a salvo!
8El Señor cumplirá en mí su propósito.138:8 El Señor … su propósito. Lit. El Señor completará en mí.
Tu gran amor, Señor, perdura para siempre;
¡no abandones la obra de tus manos!
