Psalm 138

By David.

 ^138:1I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
      Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

 ^138:2I will bow down toward your holy temple,
      And give thanks to your Name for your lovingkindness and for your truth;
      For you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

 ^138:3In the day that I called, you answered me.
      You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

 ^138:4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,
      For they have heard the words of your mouth.

 ^138:5Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh;
      For great is Yahweh's glory.

 ^138:6For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
      But the proud, he knows from afar.

 ^138:7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me.
      You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
      Your right hand will save me.

 ^138:8Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me;
      Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
      Don't forsake the works of your own hands.
