Psalms 138

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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