Psalms 138
By David.
1 I will give you thanks with my whole
heart. Before the gods,† I will sing praises to
you.
2 I will bow downtoward yourholy temple,
and give thanks to your Name for your
loving kindness and for your truth;
for you have exalted your Name and
your Word above all.
3 In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in
my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth will give you
thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your
mouth.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,
for Yahweh’s glory is great!
6 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks
after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.
7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble,
you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against
the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.
8 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns
me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own
hands.
