Psalms 138

¹ [Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart, for you have listened to the cry I uttered. In thepresence of angels I sing to you,

² I bow down before your holy Temple. I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy;your promises surpass even your fame.

³ You heard me on the day when I cal ed, and you gave new strength to my heart.

⁴ Al the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh, when they hear the promises you make;

⁵ they sing of Yahweh's ways, 'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'

⁶ Sublime as he is, Yahweh looks on the humble, the proud he picks out from afar.

⁷ Though I live surrounded by trouble you give me life -- to my enemies' fury! You stretch out your righthand and save me,

⁸ Yahweh will do al things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what you have made.
