Psalms 138

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

[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing psalms of thee.

2 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.

I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;

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

And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.

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

For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.

7 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.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

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

Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
