Psalms 138

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Of David. I thank you, LORD, with all my heart; before the gods to you I sing.	1 לְדָוִד ׀ אֹודְךָ בְכָל־לִבִּי נֶגֶד אֱלֹהִים אֲזַמְּרֶךָּ
2 I bow low toward your holy temple; I praise your name for your fidelity and love. For you have exalted over all your name and your promise.	2 אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ וְאֹודֶה אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ עַל־חַסְדְּךָ וְעַל־אֲמִתֶּךָ כִּי־הִגְדַּלְתָּ עַל־כָּלשִׁ־מְךָ אִמְרָתֶךָ
3 When I cried out, you answered; you strengthened my spirit.	3 בְּיֹום קָרָאתִי וַתַּעֲנֵנִי תַּרְהִבֵנִי בְנַפְשִׁי עֹז
4 All the kings of earth will praise you, LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth.	4 יֹודוּךָ יְהוָה כָּל־מַלְכֵי־אָרֶץ כִּי מְעוּ אִמְרֵי־פִיךָ
5 They will sing of the ways of the LORD: "How great is the glory of the LORD!"	5 וְיָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵי יְהוָה כִּי גָדֹול כְּבֹוד יְהוָה
6 The LORD is on high, but cares for the lowly and knows the proud from afar.	6 כִּי־רָם יְהוָה וְשָׁפָל יִרְאֶה וְגָבֹהַּ מִמֶּרְחָק יְיֵדָע
7 Though I walk in the midst of dangers, you guard my life when my enemies rage. You stretch out your hand; your right hand saves me.	7 אִם־אֵלֵךְ ׀ בְּקֶרֶב צָרָה תְּחַיֵּנִי עַל אַף אֹיְבַי תִּשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ וְתֹושִׁיעֵנִי יְמִינֶךָ
8 The LORD is with me to the end. LORD, your love endures forever. Never forsake the work of your hands!	8 יְהוָה יִגְמֹר בַּעֲדִי יְהוָה חַסְדְּךָ לְעֹולָם מַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אַל־תֶּרֶף
