Psalm 138

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

2 I 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 that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

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

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

6 For 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 wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me.

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

Psalm 138

By David.

1 I will give you thanks with all my heart;
before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your name,
because of your loyal love and faithfulness,
for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.

3 When I cried out for help, you answered me.
You made me bold and energized me.

4 Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord,
when they hear the words you speak.

5 Let them sing about the Lord’s deeds,
for the Lord’s splendor is magnificent.

6 Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly,
and recognizes the proud from far away.

7 Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me.
You oppose my angry enemies,
and your right hand delivers me.

8 The Lord avenges me.
O Lord, your loyal love endures.
Do not abandon those whom you have made!
