< Psalms 138 >
1 A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.
“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to 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 goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!
3 When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.
In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage 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 promises 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 of 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.
The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know 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.
Though I walk through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!
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 perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
