Psalms 138

1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

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 bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great 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 I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

我幾時呼號您，您就俯允我，並將我靈魂上的力量增多。

4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings 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 they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

並歌頌上主的作為說：上主的光耀偉大無比！

6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

上主尊高無比，仍垂顧弱小，惟對驕傲的人，卻遠遠旁眺。

7 If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves 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 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!

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。
