Psalms 138

A Psalm of David.

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

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 when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

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

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

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

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.

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