诗篇 138

1 大卫的诗。 我要一心称谢你， 在诸神面前歌颂你。

[By David.] I will give you thanks, YHWH, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises 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 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.

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 that I called, you answered me. You encouraged 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 will give you thanks, YHWH, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 他们要歌颂耶和华的作为， 因耶和华大有荣耀。

Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHWH; for great is YHWH's glory.

6 耶和华虽高，仍看顾低微的人； 他却从远处看出骄傲的人。

For though YHWH is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

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 midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will 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。

YHWH will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, YHWH, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
