Psalms 138

1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before thegods will I sing psalms of thee.

1By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

2 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.

2I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

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

3In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul <FI>with<Fi> strength.

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

4O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

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

5And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great <FI>is<Fi> the honour of Jehovah.

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

6For high <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

7 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.

7If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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

8Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
