Psalms 138

1 Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

大衛的詩。 我要一心稱謝你， 在諸神面前歌頌你。

2 I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

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 On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened 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 will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your 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 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

6 Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows 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 If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves 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 The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your 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。
