詩篇 138

1 大衛的詩。 我要一心稱謝你， 在諸神面前歌頌你。

Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,

2 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。

and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.

3 我呼求的日子，你就應允我， 鼓勵我，使我心裏有能力。

When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.

4 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。

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;

5 他們要歌頌耶和華的作為， 因耶和華大有榮耀。

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.

6 耶和華雖高，仍看顧低微的人； 他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。

For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.

7 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。

Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.

8 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。

The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
