Salmos 138
Douay-Rheims Bible
1Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
2Thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.
3Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
4And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
5Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present.
9If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
11And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.
14I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
15My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
16Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
17But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
18I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
19If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
20Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
21Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
22I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
23Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
24And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
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.
