詩篇 138

1 大衛的詩。 我要一心稱謝你， 在諸神面前歌頌你。

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

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 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，你就應允我， 鼓勵我，使我心裏有能力。

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

5 他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!

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

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 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.

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。

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
