Ps 138


138:1 Of David. I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.

138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

138:3 When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted.

138:4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

138:5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

138:6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.

138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.

138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever–do not abandon the works of your hands.

138:1 I will give You thanks with all my heart; / Before the gods I will sing psalms to You.

138:2 I will bow toward Your holy temple / And give thanks to Your name / For Your lovingkindness and Your truth, / For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

138:3 On the day that I called out, You answered me; / You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

138:4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O Jehovah; / For they have heard the words of Your mouth.

138:5 And they will sing of the ways of Jehovah, / For great is the glory of Jehovah.

138:6 For though Jehovah is high, He regards the lowly; / And the haughty He knows from afar.

138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, / You will preserve me; / Against the wrath of my enemies You will stretch out Your hand, / And Your right hand will save me.

138:8 Jehovah will complete that which concerns me. / O Jehovah, Your lovingkindness is forever; / Do not forsake the works of Your own hands.
