| 1 | (Psalm 138 A [Psalm] of David.)I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: Before the gods will I sing praises unto thee. |
| 2 | I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. |
| 3 | In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. |
| 4 | All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O Jehovah, For they have heard the words of thy mouth. |
| 5 | Yea, they shall sing of the ways of Jehovah; For great is the glory of Jehovah. |
| 6 | For though Jehovah is high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; But the haughty he knoweth from afar. |
| 7 | Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, And thy right hand will save me. |
| 8 | Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me: Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Forsake not the works of thine own hands. |
