Psalms 138

1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, LORD, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

Dari Daud. Ya TUHAN, aku mau bersyukur kepada-Mu, dengan segenap hatiku. Di hadapan segala dewata kunyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

Kusujud ke arah Rumah-Mu yang suci sambil memuji nama-Mu, sebab Engkau setia dan selalu mengasihi. Engkau lebih mementingkan janji-Mu daripada pendapat orang tentang diri-Mu.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Waktu aku berseru kepada-Mu, Engkau menjawab, Kaukuatkan hatiku sehingga aku menjadi berani.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, LORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Semua raja di bumi akan memuji Engkau, ya TUHAN, sebab mereka sudah mendengar janji-Mu.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the LORD's glory.

Mereka akan menyanyi tentang perbuatan-Mu dan tentang keagungan-Mu yang besar.

6 For though the LORD is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

Engkau teramat luhur, tetapi yang hina Kauperhatikan juga; orang sombong tak dapat bersembunyi daripada-Mu.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Waktu aku ditimpa kesusahan, Engkau mempertahankan hidupku. Engkau melawan musuhku yang sedang mengamuk dan Kauselamatkan aku dengan kuasa-Mu.

8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

Engkau akan memenuhi janji-Mu kepadaku; janganlah berhenti bertindak bagi umat-Mu.
