Psalm 138
Living Bible
138 Lord, with all my heart I thank you. I will sing your praises before the armies of angels.[a] 2 I face your Temple as I worship, giving thanks to you for all your loving-kindness and your faithfulness, for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.[b] 3 When I pray, you answer me and encourage me by giving me the strength I need.
4 Every king in all the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for all of them shall hear your voice. 5 Yes, they shall sing about Jehovah’s glorious ways, for his glory is very great. 6 Yet though he is so great, he respects the humble, but proud men must keep their distance. 7 Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will bring me safely through them. You will clench your fist against my angry enemies! Your power will save me. 8 The Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your loving-kindness, Lord, continues forever. Don’t abandon me—for you made me.

Of David.
1 I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
before the “gods”(A) I will sing(B) your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple(C)
and will praise your name(D)
for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,(E)

that it surpasses your fame.(F)

you greatly emboldened(I) me.

though lofty, he sees them(N) from afar.

you preserve my life.(P)

your love, Lord, endures forever(V)—
do not abandon(W) the works of your hands.(X)

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。
2 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。
3 我祷告的时候，你就应允我；
你使我刚强壮胆。
4 耶和华啊，世上所有的君王听见你的话都要称谢你。
5 他们要歌唱耶和华的作为，
因为耶和华荣耀无比。
6 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。
7 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。
8 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。
