Psalms 138

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

לדוד אודך בכל-לבי נגד אלהים אזמרך

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.

אשתחוה אל-היכל קדשך ואודה את-שמך-- על-חסדך ועל-אמתך כי-הגדלת על-כל-שמך אמרתך

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

ביום קראתי ותענני תרהבני בנפשי עז

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

יודוך יהוה כל-מלכי-ארץ כי שמעו אמרי-פיך

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

וישירו בדרכי יהוה כי-גדול כבוד יהוה

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

כי-רם יהוה ושפל יראה וגבה ממרחק יידע

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.

אם-אלך בקרב צרה-- תחיני על אף איבי תשלח ידך ותושיעני ימינך

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

יהוה יגמר בעדי יהוה חסדך לעולם מעשי ידיך אל-תרף
