< Psalms 138 >
1 Of David - I will give thanks to you with all heart my before [the] gods I will sing praises to you.
Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,
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.
and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.
3 On [the] day [when] I called out and you answered me you made bold me in soul my strength.
When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.
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 shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;
5 So they may sing in [the] ways of Yahweh for [is] great [the] glory of Yahweh.
and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.
6 For [is] exalted Yahweh and [the] lowly he sees and [the] proud from a distance he knows.
For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.
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 my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.
8 Yahweh he will avenge for me O Yahweh covenant loyalty your [is] for ever [the] works of hands your may not you abandon.
The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
