Psalms 138

1 A psalm of David. I thank you with my whole being; I sing your praises before the heavenly beings.

ダビデのうた われはわが心をつくしてなんぢに感謝し もろもろの神のまへにて汝をほめうたはん

2 I bow down before your holy Temple, and I am thankful because of who you are—for your trustworthy love and faithfulness—and for the fact that your promises are even greater than what people expect of you.

我なんぢのきよき宮にむかひて伏拝み なんぢの仁慈とまこととの故によりて聖名にかんしやせん そは汝そのみことばをもろもろの聖名にまさりて高くしたまひたればなり

3 On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.

汝わがよばはりし日にわれにこたへ わが霊魂にちからをあたへて雄々しからしめたまへり

4 All the kings of the earth will praise you, Lord, for they have heard what you have said.

ヱホバよ地のすべての王はなんぢに感謝せん かれらはなんぢの口のもろもろの言をききたればなり

5 They will sing about what the Lord has done and about the great glory of the Lord.

かれらはヱホバのもろもろの途についてうたはん ヱホバの榮光おほいなればなり

6 Though the Lord is high above, he pays attention to the lowly; but he recognizes the proud a long way off.

ヱホバは高くましませども卑きものを顧みたまふ されど亦おごれるものを遠よりしりたまへり

7 Even though I walk into a great deal of trouble, you protect me. You reach out to defend me from the anger of those who hate me—your strong hand saves me.

縦ひわれ患難のなかを歩むとも汝われをふたたび活し その手をのばしてわが仇のいかりをふせぎ その右の手われをすくひたまふべし

8 The Lord vindicates me! Lord, your trustworthy love lasts forever! Don't give up on what you have made!

ヱホバはわれに係れることを全うしたまはん ヱホバよなんぢの憐憫はとこしへにたゆることなし願くはなんぢの手のもろもろの事跡をすてたまふなかれ
