Psalms
(Of David’s.)
138 I will give you thanks, Jehovah, with all my heart,
make music for you in presence of gods,
2 Do reverence toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name
For your friendliness and loyalty,
because you made your promise great beyond all your fame
3 On the day that I called out and you answered me,
inspirited me, strength in my soul.
4 All earth’s kings shall acknowledge you, Jehovah,
because they hear the words of your mouth,
5 And sing of Jehovah’s courses,
because great is Jehovah’s glory.
6 For Jehovah is high and sees a low man,
and knows a lofty man far away.
7 If I go through the heart of distress you will give me life,
will reach out your hand against my enemies’ anger,
And your right hand will save me;
8 Jehovah will carry through on my behalf.
Jehovah, your friendship lasts forever;
do not abandon the works of your hands.
