1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 138

1 David praiseth God for the truth of his Word. 4 He prophesieth that the kings of the earth shall praise God. 7 He professeth his confidence in God.

 138:1 ¶ By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

 138:2 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.

 138:3 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

 138:4 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

 138:5 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

 138:6 For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

 138:7 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.

 138:8 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
