感恩的禱告

大衛的詩。

138 耶和華啊,
我全心全意地稱謝你,
在眾神明面前歌頌你。
我要向你的聖殿下拜,
稱謝你的名,
因為你是慈愛信實的,
你顯明自己的尊名和應許偉大無比。
我禱告的時候,你就應允我;
你使我剛強壯膽。

耶和華啊,世上所有的君王聽見你的話都要稱謝你。
他們要歌唱耶和華的作為,
因為耶和華榮耀無比。
耶和華雖在高天之上,
仍看顧卑微的人,
祂對驕傲的人也瞭若指掌。

耶和華啊,雖然我身陷患難,
你必保護我的性命,
伸手攻擊惱怒的仇敵,
用右手拯救我。
耶和華必成就祂為我所定的計劃;
耶和華啊,你的慈愛永遠長存。
求你不要撇棄你親手所造的。

Thanksgiving for Jehovah’s favor.

A Psalm of David.

138 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart:
Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
I will worship toward thy holy temple,
And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:
For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
In the day that I called thou answeredst me,
Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah,
For they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah;
For great is the glory of Jehovah.
For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly;
But the haughty he knoweth from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me;
Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,
And thy right hand will save me.
Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me:
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;
Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
