< Psalms 138 >
1 BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.
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.
3 In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.
4 O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.
5 And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.
6 For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.
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.
8 YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
