Psalms 138 — DBY

[A Psalm] of David.

138Verse 1I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the^°gods will I sing psalms of thee.
^{Verse 2}I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
^{Verse 3}In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
^{Verse 4}All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth;
^{Verse 5}And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah.
^{Verse 6}For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off.
^{Verse 7}Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
^{Verse 8}Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
