< Psalms 138 >
1 A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.
I WILL praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2 I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4 All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5 And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.
Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7 Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue 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 The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
