Psalms 138

1 A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

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 bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

3 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

4 All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

5 And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

6 For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

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.

If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

8 The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.

YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
