< 诗篇 138 >
1 大卫的诗。 我要一心称谢你, 在诸神面前歌颂你。
I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.
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 will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.
3 我呼求的日子,你就应允我, 鼓励我,使我心里有能力。
In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.
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 shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.
Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the 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 be high, yet has he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knows afar 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。
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save 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 will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
