詩篇 138

1 大衛的詩。 我要一心稱謝你， 在諸神面前歌頌你。

[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

2 我要向你的聖殿下拜， 為你的慈愛和誠實稱讚你的名； 因你使你的話顯為大， 過於你所應許的。

I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 我呼求的日子，你就應允我， 鼓勵我，使我心裏有能力。

In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

4 耶和華啊，地上的君王都要稱謝你， 因他們聽見了你口中的言語。

All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

5 他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

6 耶和華雖高，仍看顧低微的人； 他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。

For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 我雖行在患難中，你必將我救活； 我的仇敵發怒，你必伸手抵擋他們； 你的右手也必救我。

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 耶和華必成全關乎我的事； 耶和華啊，你的慈愛永遠長存！ 求你不要離棄你手所造的。

Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
