Psalms 138
1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
A Psalm for David, of Aggaeus and Zacharias. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; and I will sing psalms to you before the angels; for you have heard all the words of my mouth.
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
I will worship toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, on account of your mercy and your truth; for you have magnified your holy name above every thing.
3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
In whatever day I shall call upon you, hear me speedily; you shall abundantly provide me with your power in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth.
Let all the kings of the earth, o Lord, give thanks to you; for they have heard all the words of your mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah.
And let them sing in the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.
For the Lord is high, and [yet] regards the lowly; and he knows high things from afar off.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.
Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, you will quicken me; you have stretched forth your hands against the wrath of mine enemies, and your right hand has saved me.
8 Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
O Lord, you shall recompense [them] on my behalf: your mercy, O Lord, [endures] for ever: overlook not the works of your hands.
