”Daavidin psalmi. Koko sydämestäni minä sinua
kiitän, sinua minä soitollani ylistän – sinua, en muita jumalia. Minä kumarrun
pyhään temppeliisi päin ja kiitän sinun nimeäsi armosi ja uskollisuutesi
tähden. Suuri on sinun nimesi, luja on antamasi lupaus. Kun huusin sinua, sinä
vastasit, annoit sydämeeni voimaa ja rohkeutta. Herra, kiittäkööt sinua kaikki
kuninkaat, kun he kuulevat, mitä sinä sanot! Laulakoot Herran teistä, sillä
Herran kunnia on suuri! Herra on korkeuksissa, mutta hän näkee alhaisimmankin
ja erottaa jo etäältä ylpeän. Vaikka minä kuljen ahdingosta ahdinkoon, sinä
annat minulle voimaa elää. Vihamieheni tahtovat minulle pahaa, mutta sinä
ojennat kätesi, sinun väkevä kätesi pelastaa minut. Minkä olet osalleni
varannut, sen sinä, Herra, viet päätökseen. Iäti kestää sinun armosi. Ethän jätä kesken kättesi
työtä!”
Psalmit 138:1-8 FB92
”I give you thanks, O Lord,
with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods. I bow before your
holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and
faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. As
soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength. Every
king in all the earth will thank you, Lord, for all of them will hear your
words. Yes, they will sing about the Lord’s ways, for the glory of the Lord is
very great. Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his
distance from the proud. Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect
me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your
right hand saves me. The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your
faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.”
Psalms 138:1-8 NLT
”I WILL confess and praise
You [O God] with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praises to You. I
will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your
loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above
all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all
Your name! In the day when I called, You answered me; and You strengthened me
with strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) in my inner self. All the
kings of the land shall give You credit and praise You, O Lord, for they have
heard of the promises of Your mouth [which were fulfilled]. Yes, they shall
sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully celebrate His mighty acts, for great
is the glory of the Lord. For though the Lord is high, yet has He respect to
the lowly [bringing them into fellowship with Him]; but the proud and haughty
He knows and recognizes [only] at a distance. [Prov. 3:34; James 4:6; I Pet.
5:5.] Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will
stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will
save me. [Ps. 23:3, 4.] The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your
mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever–forsake not the works of Your
own hands. [Ps. 57:2; Phil. 1:6.]”
