大卫的诗。

感恩之祷

138 我要一心称谢你[a]
    在诸神面前歌颂你。
我要向你的圣殿下拜,
    我要因你的慈爱和信实颂扬你的名;
因你使你的名和你的言语显为大,
    超乎一切[b]
我呼求的日子,你应允我,
    使我壮胆,心里有能力。

耶和华啊,地上的君王都要称谢你,
    因他们听见了你口中的言语。
他们要歌颂耶和华的作为,
    因耶和华大有荣耀。
耶和华虽崇高,却看顾卑微的人;
    骄傲的人,他从远处即能认出。

我虽困在患难中,你必将我救活;
    我的仇敌发怒,你必伸手抵挡他们,
    你的右手也必拯救我。
耶和华必成全他在我身上的旨意;
    耶和华啊,你的慈爱永远长存!
    求你不要离弃你手所造的。

Give Thanks to the Lord

Of David.

138 (A)I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
    before (B)the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down (C)toward your (D)holy temple
    and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
    for you have exalted above all things
    your name and your word.[a]
On the day I called, you answered me;
    my strength of soul you increased.[b]

(E)All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
    for they have heard the words of your mouth,
and they shall sing of (F)the ways of the Lord,
    for great is the glory of the Lord.
(G)For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
    but the haughty he knows from afar.

(H)Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
    you (I)preserve my life;
you (J)stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
    and your (K)right hand delivers me.
The Lord will (L)fulfill his purpose for me;
    (M)your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
    Do not forsake (N)the work of your hands.

  1. Psalm 138:2 Or you have exalted your word above all your name
  2. Psalm 138:3 Hebrew you made me bold in my soul with strength

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.
