Psalms 138

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

大衛的詩。 我要一心稱謝你， 在諸神面前歌頌你。

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.

我要向你的聖殿下拜， 為你的慈愛和誠實稱讚你的名； 因你使你的話顯為大， 過於你所應許的。

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

我呼求的日子，你就應允我， 鼓勵我，使我心裏有能力。

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

耶和華啊，地上的君王都要稱謝你， 因他們聽見了你口中的言語。

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the LORD’s glory is great!

他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

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

耶和華雖高，仍看顧低微的人； 他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。

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

我雖行在患難中，你必將我救活； 我的仇敵發怒，你必伸手抵擋他們； 你的右手也必救我。

8 The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

耶和華必成全關乎我的事； 耶和華啊，你的慈愛永遠長存！ 求你不要離棄你手所造的。
