Psalms 138

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

לדוד אודך בכל-לבי נגד אלהים אזמרך

2 I will bow down towards 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.

אשתחוה אל-היכל קדשך ואודה את-שמך-- על-חסדך ועל-אמתך כי-הגדלת על-כל-שמך אמרתך

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

ביום קראתי ותענני תרהבני בנפשי עז

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

יודוך יהוה כל-מלכי-ארץ כי שמעו אמרי-פיך

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

וישירו בדרכי יהוה כי-גדול כבוד יהוה

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

כי-רם יהוה ושפל יראה וגבה ממרחק יידע

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.

אם-אלך בקרב צרה-- תחיני על אף איבי תשלח ידך ותושיעני ימינך

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

יהוה יגמר בעדי יהוה חסדך לעולם מעשי ידיך אל-תרף
