Psalms 138

1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.

I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.

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.

I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth: for you have magnified your word above all your name.

3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

In the day when I cried you answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.

Yes, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

6 For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.

Though the LORD be high, yet has he respect to the lowly: but the proud he knows afar off.

7 Though 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.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.

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

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of your own hands.
