Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

上主，我要全心稱謝您，因您俯聽了我的懇祈。我要在眾神前歌頌您，

2 I will worship towards your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

朝您的聖所伏地致敬；為了您的仁慈至誠，我必要稱謝您的聖名；因為您把您的名號和您的諾言，在萬物與萬民的面前發揚彰顯，

3 In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

我幾時呼號您，您就俯允我，並將我靈魂上的力量增多。

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

地上萬君聽您口的諭旨；上主，他們都必來讚頌您，

5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

並歌頌上主的作為說：上主的光耀偉大無比！

6 For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

上主尊高無比，仍垂顧弱小，惟對驕傲的人，卻遠遠旁眺。

7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

我若處於因難中，您必保全我的性命，您用右手救我，伸手拒抗仇人的憤恨。

8 O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.

上主必替我完成這工程；上主，您的仁慈永遠常存，求您不要放棄您的作品。
