< Psalms 138 >
1 A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.
I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.
2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.
Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.
All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
6 For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.
For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.
8 The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
