Mazmur 138

1 Dari Daud. Ya TUHAN, aku mau bersyukur kepada-Mu, dengan segenap hatiku. Di hadapan segala dewata kunyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu.

[By David.] I will give you thanks, YHWH, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

2 Kusujud ke arah Rumah-Mu yang suci sambil memuji nama-Mu, sebab Engkau setia dan selalu mengasihi. Engkau lebih mementingkan janji-Mu daripada pendapat orang tentang diri-Mu.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

3 Waktu aku berseru kepada-Mu, Engkau menjawab, Kaukuatkan hatiku sehingga aku menjadi berani.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 Semua raja di bumi akan memuji Engkau, ya TUHAN, sebab mereka sudah mendengar janji-Mu.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, YHWH, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 Mereka akan menyanyi tentang perbuatan-Mu dan tentang keagungan-Mu yang besar.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHWH; for great is YHWH's glory.

6 Engkau teramat luhur, tetapi yang hina Kauperhatikan juga; orang sombong tak dapat bersembunyi daripada-Mu.

For though YHWH is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

7 Waktu aku ditimpa kesusahan, Engkau mempertahankan hidupku. Engkau melawan musuhku yang sedang mengamuk dan Kauselamatkan aku dengan kuasa-Mu.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

8 Engkau akan memenuhi janji-Mu kepadaku; janganlah berhenti bertindak bagi umat-Mu.

YHWH will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, YHWH, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
