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

Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.

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 adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.

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 whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in 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

May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of 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

And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.

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 the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.

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

If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.

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

The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
