Psalms 138

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

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

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 praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

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

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