Psalms 138

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

I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you.

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 your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.

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

In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with 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.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

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

Yea, they shall 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.

Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows far 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 walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand shall save 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 perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
