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.

诗篇 138
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
称颂 神的慈爱与信实
大卫的诗。
138 我要一心称谢你，
我要在众神面前歌颂你。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
2 我要向你的圣殿下拜，
我要因你的慈爱和信实称谢你的名；
因为你使你的名和应许显为大，
超过一切（“因为你使你的名和应许显为大，超过一切”原文作“因为你使你的应许显为大，超过你的一切名字”）。
3 我呼求的日子，你就应允我；
你使我刚强，心里有力。
4 耶和华啊！世上的君王都要称谢你，
因为他们听见了你口中的言语。
5 他们要歌颂耶和华的作为，
因为耶和华大有荣耀。
6 耶和华虽然高高在上，仍然看顾卑微的人；
他却从远处认出骄傲的人。
7 我虽然处身在患难之中，你仍使我存活；
我仇敌的怒气，你必伸手抵挡；
你的右手必拯救我。
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。
