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。

The Lord’s Goodness to the Faithful

A Psalm of David.

138 I will praise You with my whole heart;
(A)Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
(B)I will worship (C)toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have (D)magnified Your word above all Your name.
In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul.

(E)All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.
Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
For great is the glory of the Lord.
(F)Though the Lord is on high,
Yet (G)He regards the lowly;
But the proud He knows from afar.

(H)Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
(I)The Lord will [a]perfect that which concerns me;
Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever;
(J)Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
