138
[A Psalm] of David. 
 1 I will give thee thanks with my whole heart; before the °Elohimgods will I sing psalms of thee. 
 2 I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness, and celebrate thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 
 3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 
 4 All the kings of the earth shall celebrate thee, Jehovah, when they have heard the words of thy mouth; 
 5 And they shall sing in the ways of Jehovah, for great is the glory of Jehovah. 
 6 For Jehovah is high; but he looketh upon the lowly, and the proud he knoweth afar off. 
 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the anger of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 
 8 Jehovah will perfect what concerneth me: thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
