Psalms 138

RHE

NIV

1 (137-1) <For David himself.> I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels:
1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
2 (137-2) I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.
3 (137-3) In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.
3 When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.
4 (137-4) May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD, when they hear what you have decreed.
5 (137-5) And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.
5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
6 (137-6) For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.
6 Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.
7 (137-7) If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.
8 (137-8) The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the works of thy hands.
8 The LORD will vindicate me; your love, LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.
