Psalm 138
By David.
1I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
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.
3In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, YHWH,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHWH,
for YHWH’s glory is great!
6For though YHWH is high, yet ʜᴇ looks after the lowly;
but ʜᴇ knows the proud from afar.
7Though 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.
8YHWH will fulfill that which concerns me.
Your lovingkindness, YHWH, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
