Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

大衛的詩。 我要一心稱謝你， 在諸神面前歌頌你。

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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。

3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

我呼求的日子，你就應允我， 鼓勵我，使我心裏有能力。

4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

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。

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.

他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

6 For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

耶和華雖高，仍看顧低微的人； 他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.

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。

8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

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。
