Chapter 138

¹[A Psalm] of David. I will give You thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to You before the gods.

¹（大衛的詩。）我要一心稱謝你，在諸神面前歌頌你。

²I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name.

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（或譯：超乎你的名聲）。

³On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.

³我呼求的日子，你就應允我，鼓勵我，使我心裡有能力。

⁴All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O LORD, When they have heard the words of Your mouth.

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。

⁵And they will sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.

⁵他們要歌頌耶和華的作為，因耶和華大有榮耀。

⁶For though the LORD is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar.

⁶耶和華雖高，仍看顧低微的人；他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人。

⁷Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.

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。

⁸The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

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。
