Psalms 138

1 I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you.

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 toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.

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 the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength 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 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear 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 Yea, they shall 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 Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows far 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 walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand shall save 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 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own 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。
