诗篇 138

1 大卫的诗。 我要一心称谢你， 在诸神面前歌颂你。

A psalm of David. I thank you with my whole being; I sing your praises before the heavenly beings.

2 我要向你的圣殿下拜， 为你的慈爱和诚实称赞你的名； 因你使你的话显为大， 过于你所应许的。

I bow down before your holy Temple, and I am thankful because of who you are—for your trustworthy love and faithfulness—and for the fact that your promises are even greater than what people expect of you.

3 我呼求的日子，你就应允我， 鼓励我，使我心里有能力。

On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.

4 耶和华啊，地上的君王都要称谢你， 因他们听见了你口中的言语。

All the kings of the earth will praise you, Lord, for they have heard what you have said.

5 他们要歌颂耶和华的作为， 因耶和华大有荣耀。

They will sing about what the Lord has done and about the great glory of the Lord.

6 耶和华虽高，仍看顾低微的人； 他却从远处看出骄傲的人。

Though the Lord is high above, he pays attention to the lowly; but he recognizes the proud a long way off.

7 我虽行在患难中，你必将我救活； 我的仇敌发怒，你必伸手抵挡他们； 你的右手也必救我。

Even though I walk into a great deal of trouble, you protect me. You reach out to defend me from the anger of those who hate me—your strong hand saves me.

8 耶和华必成全关乎我的事； 耶和华啊，你的慈爱永远长存！ 求你不要离弃你手所造的。

The Lord vindicates me! Lord, your trustworthy love lasts forever! Don't give up on what you have made!
