Psalms 138

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

By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do 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 bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

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

In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost 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.

O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

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

And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

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

For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

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 I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
