Psalm 138

1. (0) By David: 1 (1) I give you thanks with all my heart. 1 Not to idols, but to you I sing praise.

2. I bow down toward your holy temple 2 and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth; 2 for you have made your word [even] greater 2 than the whole of your reputation.

3. When I called, you answered me, 3 you made me bold and strong.

4. All the kings of the earth will thank you, Adonai, 4 when they hear the words you have spoken.

5. They will sing about Adonai’s ways, 5 “Great is the glory of Adonai!”

6. For though Adonai is high, he cares for the lowly; 6 while the proud he perceives from afar.

7. You keep me alive when surrounded by danger; 7 you put out your hand when my enemies rage; 7 with your right hand you save me.

8. Adonai will fulfill his purpose for me. 8 Your grace, Adonai, continues forever. 8 Don’t abandon the work of your hands!
