시편 138

1내가 전심으로 주께 감사하며 신들 앞에서 주께 찬양하리이다 2내가 주의 성전을 향하여 경배하며 주의 인자하심과 성실하심을 인하여 주의 이름에 감사하오리니 이는 주께서 주의 말씀을 주의 모든 이름 위에 높게 하셨음이라 3내가 간구하는 날에 주께서 응답하시고 내 영혼을 장려하여 강하게 하셨나이다 4여호와여 땅의 열왕이 주께 감사할 것은 저희가 주의 입의 말씀을 들음이오며 5저희가 여호와의 도를 노래할 것은 여호와의 영광이 크심이니이다 6여호와께서 높이 계셔도 낮은 자를 하감하시며 멀리서도 교만한 자를 아시나이다 7내가 환난 중에 다닐지라도 주께서 나를 소성케 하시고 주의 손을 펴사 내 원수들의 노를 막으시며 주의 오른손이 나를 구원하시리이다 8여호와께서 내게 관계된 것을 완전케 하실지라 여호와여 주의 인자하심이 영원하오니 주의 손으로 지으신 것을 버리지 마옵소서

1I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you. 2I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all. 3In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul. 4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth. 5Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; for great is Yahweh’s glory. 6For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar. 7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me. 8Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

1Een psalm van David. Ik zal U loven met mijn gehele hart; in de tegenwoordigheid der goden zal ik U psalmzingen. 2Ik zal mij nederbuigen naar het paleis Uwer heiligheid, en ik zal Uw Naam loven, om Uw goedertierenheid en om Uw waarheid; want Gij hebt vanwege Uw gansen Naam Uw woord groot gemaakt. 3Ten dage, als ik riep, zo hebt Gij mij verhoord; Gij hebt mij versterkt met kracht in mijn ziel. 4Alle koningen der aarde zullen U, o HEERE! loven, wanneer zij gehoord zullen hebben de redenen Uws monds. 5En zij zullen zingen van de wegen des HEEREN, want de heerlijkheid des HEEREN is groot. 6Want de HEERE is hoog, nochtans ziet Hij de nederige aan, en den verhevene kent Hij van verre. 7Als ik wandel in het midden der benauwdheid, maakt Gij mij levend; Uw hand strekt Gij uit tegen den toorn mijner vijanden, en Uw rechterhand behoudt mij. 8De HEERE zal het voor mij voleinden; Uw goedertierenheid, HEERE! is in der eeuwigheid; en laat niet varen de werken Uwer handen.
