< Psalms 138 >
1 Of David - I will give thanks to you with all heart my before [the] gods I will sing praises to you.
I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to with my whole heart. Before the deities, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you.
2 I will bow down to [the] temple of holiness your so I may give thanks to name your on covenant loyalty your and on faithfulness your for you have made great over all name your word your.
I will bow down toward your holy temple, and yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your Name for your chesed ·loving-kindness· and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
3 On [the] day [when] I called out and you answered me you made bold me in soul my strength.
In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4 They will give thanks to you O Yahweh all [the] kings of [the] earth if they have heard [the] words of mouth your.
All the kings of the earth will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, for they have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the words of your mouth.
5 So they may sing in [the] ways of Yahweh for [is] great [the] glory of Yahweh.
Yes, they will sing of the ways of Adonai; for great is the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing·.
6 For [is] exalted Yahweh and [the] lowly he sees and [the] proud from a distance he knows.
For though Adonai is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.
7 If I will walk - in [the] midst of trouble you preserve alive me on [the] anger of enemies my you stretch out hand your and it saves me right [hand] your.
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8 Yahweh he will avenge for me O Yahweh covenant loyalty your [is] for ever [the] works of hands your may not you abandon.
Adonai will fulfill that which concerns me; your chesed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
