Psalms 138

1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, YHWH, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, YHWH, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHWH; for great is YHWH's glory.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

6 For though YHWH is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

8 YHWH will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, YHWH, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
