Tehilim Chapter 138

tehilim 138

Translation

1 Of David. I shall thank You with all my heart; before the princes I shall sing Your praises.
2 I shall prostrate myself toward Your holy Temple, and I shall give thanks to Your name for Your kindness and for Your truth, for You magnified Your word over all Your names.
3 On the day that I called and You answered me; You made me great, [putting] strength into my soul.
4 O Lord, all the kings of the earth will acknowledge You, for they heard the words of Your mouth.
5 And they will sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For the Lord is high but He sees the lowly, and He chastises the haughty from afar.
7 If I walk in the midst of distress, You revive me; against the wrath of my enemies, You stretch forth Your hand and Your right hand saves me.
8 May the Lord agree with me; O Lord, may Your kindness be eternal. Do not let go of the works of Your hands.
