| Chapter 138 |
1 | By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee. |
2 | I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name. |
3 | In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength. |
4 | O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth. |
5 | And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah. |
6 | For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth. |
7 | If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me. |
8 | Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall! |
