Psalms 138

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

A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

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 thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

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

When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

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

All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

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

And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

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: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre 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 walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue 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 performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
