Psalms 138

1 A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to thee before the angels; for thou hast heard all the words of my mouth.

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the mighty will I sing praise unto thee.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name, on account of thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy holy name above every thing.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified above all, thy name, thy word.

3 In whatsoever day I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily; thou shalt abundantly provide me with thy power in my soul.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

4 Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks unto thee; for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O YHWH, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

5 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of YHWH: for great is the glory of YHWH.

6 For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.

Though YHWH be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, thou wilt quicken me; thou hast stretched forth thine hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand has saved me.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 O Lord, thou shalt recompense [them] on my behalf: thy mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of thine hands.

YHWH will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O YHWH, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
