Psalms 138

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

לְדָוִד ׀ אוֹדְךָ בְכׇל־לִבִּי נֶגֶד אֱלֹהִים אֲזַמְּרֶֽךָּ׃

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.

אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל קׇדְשְׁךָ וְאוֹדֶה אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ עַל־חַסְדְּךָ וְעַל־אֲמִתֶּךָ כִּֽי־הִגְדַּלְתָּ עַל־כׇּל־שִׁמְךָ אִמְרָתֶֽךָ׃

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

בְּיוֹם קָרָֽאתִי וַֽתַּעֲנֵנִי תַּרְהִבֵנִי בְנַפְשִׁי עֹֽז׃

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

יוֹדוּךָ יְהֹוָה כׇּל־מַלְכֵי־אָרֶץ כִּי שָׁמְעוּ אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

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

וְיָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵי יְהֹוָה כִּֽי־גָדוֹל כְּבוֹד יְהֹוָֽה׃

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

כִּי־רָם יְהֹוָה וְשָׁפָל יִרְאֶה וְגָבֹהַּ מִמֶּרְחָק יְיֵדָֽע׃

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.

אִם־אֵלֵךְ ׀ בְּקֶרֶב צָרָה תְּחַיֵּנִי עַל אַף אֹיְבַי תִּשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ וְתוֹשִׁיעֵנִי יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

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

יְהֹוָה יִגְמֹר בַּעֲדִי יְהֹוָה חַסְדְּךָ לְעוֹלָם מַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אַל־תֶּֽרֶף׃
