< 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.
I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.
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 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 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage 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.
Yes, they shall sing in 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.
Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knows afar off.
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.
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.
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 perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
