Psalms 138

1[A Psalm] of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, In the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.

2I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, And give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; For Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.

3In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

4All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O YHWH, For they have heard the words of Thy mouth.

5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of YHWH; For great is the glory of YHWH.

6For though YHWH be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, And the haughty He knoweth from afar.

7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And Thy right hand doth save me.

8YHWH will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O YHWH, endureth for ever; Forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
