Psalm 138

1I will celebrate thee with my whole heart; Before the gods! will sing psalms to thee.

2 I will worship thee towards the temple of thy holiness, And sing to thy name for thy mercy and for thy truth; For thou hast magnified above all things thy name by thy word.

3In the day when, I cried to thee, then thou heardest me, Thou didst abundantly minister to me strength in my soul.

4Celebrate thee, O Jehovah! let all the kings of the earth; For they have heard the words of thy mouth.

5And let them sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great is the glory of Jehovah.

6For high is Jehovah; yet the lowly he will regard; And being high will know afar off:

7If I shall walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Against the wrath of my enemies thou wilt put forth thy hand, And save me shall thy right hand.

8Jehovah will perform in me his work, O Jehovah! thy mercy is from everlasting; The works of thy hands thou wilt not forsake.
