Mazmur 138

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

A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.

2 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.

I will worship toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.

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

In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.

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

Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.

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

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

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

For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

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

Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.

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

O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
