Psalms 138

1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.

A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.

3 Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.

For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.

8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.
