Salmos 138
Catholic Public Domain Version
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me.
2You have known my sitting down and my rising up again.
3You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated.
4And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue.
5Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me.
6Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
7Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face?
8If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near.
9If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
10even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
11And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
12But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
13For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
14I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
15My bone, which you have made in secret, has not been hidden from you, and my substance is in accord with the lower parts of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them.
17But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened.
18I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.
19O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me.
20For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain.
21Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies?
22I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.
23Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Question me, and know my paths.
24And see if there might be in me the way of iniquity, and lead me in the way of eternity.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Salmo de David. ALABARTE he con todo mi corazón: delante de los dioses te cantaré salmos.
2Encorvaréme al templo de tu santuario, y alabaré tu nombre por tu misericordia y tu verdad: porque has hecho magnífico tu nombre, y tu dicho sobre todas las cosas.
3En el día que clamé, me respondiste; esforzásteme con fortaleza en mi alma.
4Confesarte han, oh Jehová, todos los reyes de la tierra, cuando habrán oído los dichos de tu boca.
5Y cantarán de los caminos de Jehová: que la gloria de Jehová es grande.
6Porque el alto Jehová atiende al humilde; mas al altivo mira de lejos.
7Si anduviere yo en medio de la angustia, tú me vivificarás: contra la ira de mis enemigos extenderás tu mano, y salvaráme tu diestra.
8Jehová cumplirá por mí: tu misericordia, oh Jehová, es para siempre; no dejarás la obra de tus manos.

King James Version
1I 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.

World English Bible
1I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
2I 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.
3In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!
6For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.
7Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
