Psalms 138 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

138:1
לְדָוִ֨ד׀ אוֹדְךָ֥ בְכׇל־לִבִּ֑י נֶ֖גֶד אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲזַמְּרֶֽךָּ׃
τῷ Δαυιδ ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι κύριε ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου ὅτι ἤκουσας τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός μου καὶ ἐναντίον ἀγγέλων ψαλῶ σοι
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei. In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi ;
በቅድመ ፡ መላእክቲከ ፡ እዜምር ፡ ለከ ፤ እስመ ፡ ሰማዕከኒ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አፉየ ። ወእሰግድ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ጽርሐ ፡ መቅደስከ ፡ ወእገኒ ፡ ለስምከ ፤
I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
138:2
אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֨ה אֶל־הֵיכַ֪ל קׇדְשְׁךָ֡ וְא֘וֹדֶ֤ה אֶת־שְׁמֶ֗ךָ עַל־חַסְדְּךָ֥ וְעַל־אֲמִתֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־הִגְדַּ֥לְתָּ עַל־כׇּל־שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ אִמְרָתֶֽךָ׃
προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου καὶ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνας ἐπὶ πᾶν ὄνομα τὸ λόγιόν σου
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo : super misericordia tua et veritate tua ; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
በምሕረትከ ፡ ወበጽድቅከ ፤ እስመ ፡ ኣዕበይከ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ስመከ ፡ ቅዱሰ ።
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.
138:3
בְּי֣וֹם קָ֭רָֽאתִי וַֽתַּעֲנֵ֑נִי תַּרְהִבֵ֖נִי בְנַפְשִׁ֣י עֹֽז׃
ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπικαλέσωμαί σε ταχὺ ἐπάκουσόν μου πολυωρήσεις με ἐν ψυχῇ μου ἐν δυνάμει
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me ; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
አመ ፡ ዕለተ ፡ እጼውዐከ ፡ ፍጡነ ፡ ስምዐኒ ፤ ብዙኀ ፡ አጽናዕካ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፡ በኀይልከ ።
In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
138:4
יוֹד֣וּךָ יְ֭הֹוָה כׇּל־מַלְכֵי־אָ֑רֶץ כִּ֥י שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ׃
ἐξομολογησάσθωσάν σοι κύριε πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἤκουσαν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματός σου
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
ይገንዩ ፡ ለከ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ኵሎሙ ፡ ነገሥተ ፡ ምድር ፤ እስመ ፡ ሰምዑ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አፉከ ።
All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
138:5
וְ֭יָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֑ה כִּֽי־גָ֝ד֗וֹל כְּב֣וֹד יְהֹוָֽה׃
καὶ ᾀσάτωσαν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς κυρίου ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ δόξα κυρίου
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini ;
ወየኀልዩ ፡ በስብሐተ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፤ እስመ ፡ ዐቢይ ፡ ክቡረ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ።
Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!
138:6
כִּי־רָ֣ם יְ֭הֹוָה וְשָׁפָ֣ל יִרְאֶ֑ה וְ֝גָבֹ֗הַּ מִמֶּרְחָ֥ק יְיֵדָֽע׃
ὅτι ὑψηλὸς κύριος καὶ τὰ ταπεινὰ ἐφορᾷ καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν γινώσκει
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta a longe cognoscit.
እስመ ፡ ልዑል ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ወይሬኢ ፡ ዘበታሕቱ ፤ ወለነዋኅኒ ፡ እምርሑቅ ፡ ያአምሮ ።
For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.
138:7
אִם־אֵלֵ֤ךְ׀ בְּקֶ֥רֶב צָרָ֗ה תְּחַ֫יֵּ֥נִי עַ֤ל אַ֣ף אֹ֭יְבַי תִּשְׁלַ֣ח יָדֶ֑ךָ וְת֖וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
ἐὰν πορευθῶ ἐν μέσῳ θλίψεως ζήσεις με ἐπ’ ὀργὴν ἐχθρῶν μου ἐξέτεινας χεῖρά σου καὶ ἔσωσέν με ἡ δεξιά σου
Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me ; et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
እመኒ ፡ ሖርኩ ፡ ማእከለ ፡ ምንዳቤ ፡ አንተ ፡ ታሐይወኒ ፤ ዲበ ፡ መዐተ ፡ አሕዛብ ፡ ሰፋሕከ ፡ እደውየ ። ወአድኀነኒ ፡ የማንከ ።
Though 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.
138:8
יְהֹוָה֮ יִגְמֹ֢ר בַּ֫עֲדִ֥י יְ֭הֹוָה חַסְדְּךָ֣ לְעוֹלָ֑ם מַעֲשֵׂ֖י יָדֶ֣יךָ אַל־תֶּֽרֶף׃ {פ}
κύριος ἀνταποδώσει ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ κύριε τὸ ἔλεός σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου μὴ παρῇς
Dominus retribuet pro me. Domine, misericordia tua in saeculum ; opera manuum tuarum ne despicias.
እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይትቤቀል ፡ ሊተ ፤ እግዚኦ ፡ ሣህልከ ፡ ለዓለም ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ተግባረ ፡ እደዊከ ፡ ኢትትሀየድ ።
Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
