Psalm
Psalms, 138
Of David.
1 I shall laud you with all my heart. In front of other gods*1 I shall make melody to you.
|
2 I shall bow down toward your holy temple, And I shall laud your name, Because of your loving-kindness*1 and because of your trueness.*2 For you have magnified your saying even above all your name.
|
3 On the day that I called, you also proceeded to answer me; You began to make me bold in my soul with strength.
4 All the kings of the earth will laud you, O Jehovah, For they will have heard the sayings of your mouth.
5 And they will sing about the ways of Jehovah, For the glory of Jehovah is great.
6 For Jehovah is high, and yet the humble one he sees; But the lofty one he knows only from a distance.
7 If I should walk in the midst of distress, you will preserve me alive. Because of*1 the anger of my enemies you will thrust out your hand, And your right hand will save me.
|
8 Jehovah himself will complete what is in my behalf. O Jehovah, to time indefinite is your loving-kindness. Do not desert the works of your own hands.
