Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

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

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

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

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.

The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
