诗篇 138
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
歌颂耶和华之慈爱诚实
138 大卫的诗。
1 我要一心称谢你，在诸神面前歌颂你。
2 我要向你的圣殿下拜，为你的慈爱和诚实称赞你的名；因你使你的话显为大，过于你所应许的[a]。
3 我呼求的日子，你就应允我，鼓励我，使我心里有能力。
4 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。
5 他们要歌颂耶和华的作为，因耶和华大有荣耀。
6 耶和华虽高，仍看顾低微的人，他却从远处看出骄傲的人。
7 我虽行在患难中，你必将我救活。我的仇敌发怒，你必伸手抵挡他们，你的右手也必救我。
8 耶和华必成全关乎我的事。耶和华啊，你的慈爱永远长存，求你不要离弃你手所造的。

Psalm 138[a]
Hymn of a Grateful Heart
1 Of David.
I
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
in the presence of the angels[b] to you I sing.
2 I bow low toward your holy temple;
I praise your name for your mercy and faithfulness.
For you have exalted over all
your name and your promise.
3 On the day I cried out, you answered;
you strengthened my spirit.
II
4 All the kings of earth will praise you, Lord,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5 They will sing of the ways of the Lord:
“How great is the glory of the Lord!”
6 The Lord is on high, but cares for the lowly(B)
and knows the proud from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of dangers,
you guard my life when my enemies rage.
You stretch out your hand;
your right hand saves me.
8 The Lord is with me to the end.
Lord, your mercy endures forever.
Never forsake the work of your hands!
Footnotes
- Psalm 138 A thanksgiving to God, who came to the rescue of the psalmist. Divine rescue was not the result of the psalmist’s virtues but of God’s loving fidelity (Ps 138:1–3). The act is not a private transaction but a public act that stirs the surrounding nations to praise God’s greatness and care for the people (Ps 138:4–6). The psalmist, having experienced salvation, trusts that God will always be there in moments of danger (Ps 138:7–8).
- 138:1 In the presence of the angels: heavenly beings who were completely subordinate to Israel’s God. The earthly Temple represents the heavenly palace of God.
