PSALM 138
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Thee will I praise with all my heart,
I will sing praise to thee
2Before the gods: And worship will
toward thy sanctuary.
I'll praise thy name, ev'n for thy truth,
and kindness of thy love;
For thou thy word hast magnify'd
all thy great name above.
3Thou didst me answer in the day
when I to thee did cry;
And thou my fainting soul with strength
didst strengthen inwardly.
4All kings upon the earth that are
shall give thee praise, O Lord,
When as they from thy mouth shall hear
thy true and faithful word.
5Yea, in the righteous ways of God
with gladness they shall sing:
For great's the glory of the Lord;
who doth for ever reign.
6Though God be high, yet he respects
all those that lowly be;
Whereas the proud and lofty ones
afar off knoweth he.
7Though I in midst of trouble walk,
I life from thee shall have:
'Gainst my foes' wrath thou'lt stretch thine hand;
thy right hand shall me save.
8Surely that which concerneth me
the Lord will perfect make:
Lord, still thy mercy lasts; do not
thine own hands' works forsake.

Tehillim (Psa) 138
138
1By David:
I give you thanks with all my heart.
Not to idols, but to you I sing praise.
2I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth;
for you have made your word [even] greater
than the whole of your reputation.
3When I called, you answered me,
you made me bold and strong.
4All the kings of the earth will thank you, Adonai,
when they hear the words you have spoken.
5They will sing about Adonai’s ways,
“Great is the glory of Adonai!”
6For though Adonai is high, he cares for the lowly;
while the proud he perceives from afar.
7You keep me alive when surrounded by danger;
you put out your hand when my enemies rage;
with your right hand you save me.
8Adonai will fulfill his purpose for me.
Your grace, Adonai, continues forever.
Don’t abandon the work of your hands!
