Psalms 138

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

David’s. I will give thee thanks with all my heart, Before the messengers of God, will I praise thee in song:

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 bow down towards thy holy temple, and thank thy Name, for thy lovingkindness and for thy faithfulness, 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 I cried unto thee, then didst thou answer me, and didst excite me, in my soul, mightily.

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, will thank thee, O Yahweh, when they have heard the sayings of thy mouth;

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

And they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, That great is the glory of Yahweh:

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

Though lofty is Yahweh, yet, the lowly, he regardeth, but, the haughty—afar off, doth he acknowledge.

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 distress, thou wilt give me life, —Because of the anger of my foes, thou wilt thrust forth thy hand, and thy right hand, will save me:

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

Yahweh, will carry through my cause, —O Yahweh! thy lovingkindness, is age-abiding, The works of thine own hands, do not thou desert.
