Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty 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 bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy 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 didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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 LORD, 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 the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and 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 quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth 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 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work 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。
