Psalm 138
JPS Tanakh 1917
1[A Psalm] of David.

I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart,
In the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.
2I will bow down toward Thy holy temple,
And give thanks unto Thy name for Thy mercy and for Thy truth;
For Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
3In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me;
Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.

4All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O LORD,
For they have heard the words of Thy mouth.
5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD;
For great is the glory of the LORD.
6For though the LORD be high, yet regardeth He the lowly,
And the haughty He knoweth from afar.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me;
Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies,
And Thy right hand doth save me.
8The LORD will accomplish that which concerneth me;
Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever;
Forsake not the work of Thine own hands.
