Psalms 138

1 A Psalm of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to thee.

I will give thee thanks with my whole heart. I will sing praises to thee before the gods.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks to thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth. For thou have magnified thy word above all thy name.

3 In the day when I cried thou didst answer me, and strengthen me with strength in my soul.

Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

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

6 Though the LORD is high, yet hath he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

For though Jehovah is high, yet he has respect to the lowly. But he knows the haughty from afar.

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

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me. Thou will stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand will save me.

8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thy own hands.

Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me. Thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, is forever. Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
