Psalms 138

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
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,	1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
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.	2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 You heard me on the day when I cal ed, and you gave new strength to my heart.	3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4 Al the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh, when they hear the promises you make;	4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5 they sing of Yahweh's ways, 'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'	5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Sublime as he is, Yahweh looks on the humble, the proud he picks out from afar.	6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7 Though I live surrounded by trouble you give me life -- to my enemies' fury! You stretch out your righthand and save me,	7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 Yahweh will do al things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what you have made.	8 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
