Psalms 138

1 “A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the mighty will I sing praise unto thee.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, And praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified above all, thy name, thy word.

3 In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O YHWH, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; For great is the glory of the LORD.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of YHWH: for great is the glory of YHWH.

6 The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know from afar.

Though YHWH be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 Though I walk through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

8 The LORD will perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!

YHWH will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O YHWH, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
