Psalms 138
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Ref By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.
2 Ref 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 Ref In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul `with' strength.
4 Ref O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.
5 Ref And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great `is' the honour of Jehovah.
6 Ref For high `is' Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.
7 Ref 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 Ref Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness `is' to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
