1Salmo di Davide. Io ti celebrerò con tutto il mio cuore, davanti agli dèi salmeggerò a te.2Adorerò rivolto al tuo santo tempio e celebrerò il tuo nome per la tua bontà e per la tua fedeltà; poiché tu hai reso grande la tua parola oltre ogni fama.3Nel giorno che ho gridato a te, tu mi hai risposto, mi hai accresciuto la forza nell’anima mia.4Tutti i re della terra ti celebreranno, Signore, quando avranno udito le parole della tua bocca;5e canteranno le vie del Signore, perché grande è la gloria del Signore.6Sì, eccelso è il Signore, eppure ha riguardo per gli umili, e da lontano conosce il superbo.7Se cammino in mezzo alle difficoltà, tu mi ridai la vita; tu stendi la mano contro l’ira dei miei nemici e la tua destra mi salva.8Il Signore compirà in mio favore l’opera sua; la tua bontà, Signore, dura per sempre; non abbandonare le opere delle tue mani.
1Von David. Preisen will ich dich mit meinem ganzen Herzen, ich will dir spielen vor den Göttern. (Sal 9,2)2Ich falle nieder vor deinem heiligen Tempel, und deinen Namen preise ich wegen deiner Gnade und Treue[1]. Denn du hast dein Wort[2] groß gemacht über deinen ganzen Namen[3]. (Sal 5,8; Sal 115,1)3An dem Tag, da ich rief, antwortetest du mir. Du vermehrtest mir in meiner Seele die Kraft[4]. (1Sam 30,6; Sal 34,5; Lam 3,57; 2Co 12,9)4Alle Könige der Erde werden dich preisen, HERR, wenn sie die Worte deines Mundes gehört haben.5Sie werden die Wege des HERRN besingen, denn groß ist die Herrlichkeit des HERRN. (Mal 1,11)6Ja, der HERR ist erhaben, doch er sieht den Niedrigen, und den Hochmütigen erkennt er von fern. (Sal 83,19; Is 57,15)7Wenn ich auch mitten in Bedrängnis wandeln muss – du belebst mich. Gegen den Zorn meiner Feinde wirst du deine Hand ausstrecken, und deine Rechte wird mich retten. (Sal 18,17; Sal 119,50)8Der HERR wird es für mich vollenden. HERR, deine Gnade ⟨währt⟩ ewig. Gib die Werke deiner Hände nicht auf! (Giob 10,3; Sal 57,3; Sal 100,5; Fili 1,6)
1Of David. I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; (Sal 95,3; Sal 96,5; Sal 111,1)2I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.[1] (1Re 8,29; Sal 5,7; Sal 28,2)3On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.[2]4All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth, (Sal 102,15)5and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord. (Sal 103,7)6For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar. (Sal 113,5; Sal 131,1; Prov 3,34; Lu 1,48; Giac 4,6)7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. (1Sam 24,6; Giob 1,12; Sal 23,4; Sal 60,5; Sal 71,20)8The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (1Cr 16,41; Sal 57,2; Sal 100,3; Sal 136,1; Fili 1,6)
Salmo 138
King James Version
1A Psalm of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.2I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.3In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.4All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.5Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.6Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.8The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
