| 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!
