Psalms 138

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

`To Dauith him silf. Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; for thou herdist the wordis of my mouth. Mi God, Y schal singe to thee in the siyt of aungels;

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.

Y schal worschipe to thin hooli temple, and Y schal knouleche to thi name. On thi merci and thi treuthe; for thou hast magnefied thin hooli name aboue al thing.

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

In what euere dai Y schal inwardli clepe thee, here thou me; thou schalt multipli vertu in my soule.

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

Lord, alle the kingis of erthe knouleche to thee; for thei herden alle the wordis of thi mouth.

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

And singe thei in the weies of the Lord; for the glorie of the Lord is greet.

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

For the Lord is hiy, and biholdith meke thingis; and knowith afer hiy thingis.

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.

If Y schal go in the myddil of tribulacioun, thou schalt quikene me; and thou stretchidist forth thin hond on the ire of myn enemyes, and thi riyt hond made me saaf.

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

The Lord schal yelde for me, Lord, thi merci is with outen ende; dispise thou not the werkis of thin hondis.
