Psalms 138

1 A psalm of David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you.

A Psalm of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness. You have made your word and your name more important than anything else.

I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

3 On the day that I called you, you answered me; you made me bold and strengthened my soul.

In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

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

All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

5 Indeed, they will sing of the deeds of Yahweh, for great is the glory of Yahweh.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he cares for the lowly, but the proud he knows from far off.

For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.

7 Though I walk in the middle of danger, you will preserve my life; you will reach out with your hand against the anger of my enemies, and your right hand will save me.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.

8 Yahweh is with me to the end; your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, endures forever. Do not forsake the ones whom your hands have made.

The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
