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.

[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

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 bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast 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.

In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage 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 celebrate thee, Jehovah, when 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.

And they shall sing in 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 Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

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 wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall 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 what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
