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 give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to 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 bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.

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

On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold and strengthened 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 will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they will hear the words from your mouth.

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

Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.

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

For though Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from 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 middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will 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.

Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.
