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.

1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto 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.

2I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word 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.

3In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

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.

4All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words 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.

5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory 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.

6For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar.

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.

7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will 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!

8Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands.
