Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

I will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.

3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue 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 confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.

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

And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.

6 For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.

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

If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.

8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.

The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
