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 Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise 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 bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

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

In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost 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 Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy 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 Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

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

For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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 Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth 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.

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
