詩篇 138

1 ダビデのうた われはわが心をつくしてなんぢに感謝し もろもろの神のまへにて汝をほめうたはん

A psalm of David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you.

2 我なんぢのきよき宮にむかひて伏拝み なんぢの仁慈とまこととの故によりて聖名にかんしやせん そは汝そのみことばをもろもろの聖名にまさりて高くしたまひたればなり

I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.

3 汝わがよばはりし日にわれにこたへ わが霊魂にちからをあたへて雄々しからしめたまへり

On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold and strengthened my soul.

4 ヱホバよ地のすべての王はなんぢに感謝せん かれらはなんぢの口のもろもろの言をききたればなり

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they will hear the words from your mouth.

5 かれらはヱホバのもろもろの途についてうたはん ヱホバの榮光おほいなればなり

Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.

6 ヱホバは高くましませども卑きものを顧みたまふ されど亦おごれるものを遠よりしりたまへり

For though Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from far off.

7 縦ひわれ患難のなかを歩むとも汝われをふたたび活し その手をのばしてわが仇のいかりをふせぎ その右の手われをすくひたまふべし

Though I walk in the middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me.

8 ヱホバはわれに係れることを全うしたまはん ヱホバよなんぢの憐憫はとこしへにたゆることなし願くはなんぢの手のもろもろの事跡をすてたまふなかれ

Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.
