< Psalms 138 >
1 Yahweh, I thank you with all my inner being. I sing to praise you in front of [the idols of false] gods [to ridicule/belittle them].
Of David - I will give thanks to you with all heart my before [the] gods I will sing praises to you.
2 I bow down while I look towards your sacred temple, and I thank you [MTY] because you faithfully love [us] and faithfully do all that you have promised. You have shown that both you [MTY] and what you have promised to do are greater than anything else.
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.
3 On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.
On [the] day [when] I called out and you answered me you made bold me in soul my strength.
4 Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.
They will give thanks to you O Yahweh all [the] kings of [the] earth if they have heard [the] words of mouth your.
5 They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.
So they may sing in [the] ways of Yahweh for [is] great [the] glory of Yahweh.
6 Yahweh, you are supreme, but you take care of people [who are considered to be] unimportant. And you know what proud people [are doing], even though they are far away [from you and think that you do not see them].
For [is] exalted Yahweh and [the] lowly he sees and [the] proud from a distance he knows.
7 When I am in the midst of [many] troubles/difficulties, you save/rescue me. With your hand/power [MTY] you rescue me from my enemies who are angry at me.
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.
8 Yahweh, you will do for me everything that you promised; you faithfully love [us] forever. Finish what you started to do [for us, your Israeli people.]
Yahweh he will avenge for me O Yahweh covenant loyalty your [is] for ever [the] works of hands your may not you abandon.
