Psalms 138

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

I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

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 towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

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

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength 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.

May all the kings of the earth give glory to 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 looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth 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.

If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath 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.

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
