Psalms 138

1 By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

A Psalme of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: euen before the gods will I praise thee.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

I will worship toward thine holy Temple and praise thy Name, because of thy louing kindenesse and for thy trueth: for thou hast magnified thy Name aboue all things by thy word.

3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

When I called, then thou heardest me, and hast encreased strength in my soule.

4 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

All the Kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord: for they haue heard the wordes of thy mouth.

5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!

And they shall sing of the wayes of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord is great.

6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

7 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.

Though I walke in the middes of trouble, yet wilt thou reuiue me: thou wilt stretch foorth thine hand vpon the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall saue me.

8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

The Lord will performe his worke toward me: O Lord, thy mercie endureth for euer: forsake not the workes of thine handes.
