By David.

1 I will give you thanks with my whole heart.

Before the gods,*138:1 The word elohim, used here, usually means "God" but can also mean "gods", "princes", or "angels". I will sing praises to you.

2 I 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.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me.

You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,

for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,

for Yahweh’s glory is great!

6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;

but he knows the proud from afar.

7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me.

You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies.

Your right hand will save me.

8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me.

Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.

Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

大卫的诗。 1 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。
