感恩的祷告

大卫的诗。

138 耶和华啊,
我全心全意地称谢你,
在众神明面前歌颂你。
我要向你的圣殿下拜,
称谢你的名,
因为你是慈爱信实的,
你显明自己的尊名和应许伟大无比。
我祷告的时候,你就应允我;
你使我刚强壮胆。

耶和华啊,世上所有的君王听见你的话都要称谢你。
他们要歌唱耶和华的作为,
因为耶和华荣耀无比。
耶和华虽在高天之上,
仍看顾卑微的人,
祂对骄傲的人也了如指掌。

耶和华啊,虽然我身陷患难,
你必保护我的性命,
伸手攻击恼怒的仇敌,
用右手拯救我。
耶和华必成就祂为我所定的计划;
耶和华啊,你的慈爱永远长存。
求你不要撇弃你亲手所造的。

138 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
