< 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 you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you.
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 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 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.
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 praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.
All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your 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 has he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knows far 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, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and your 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 concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
