Psalms 138

1I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

1 I will give you praise with all my heart: I will make melody to you before the gods.

2I 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.

2I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

3In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

3When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.

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

4All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears.

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

5They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

6Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

6Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

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

7Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

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

8The Lord will make all things complete for me: O Lord, your mercy is eternal; do not give up the works of your hands.
