Psalms 138

1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

2 I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

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.

3 In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

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

4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

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

6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

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

7 If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

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.

8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!

The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
