Psalms 138
138
A Prayer of Thanksgiving#Ps 138 Hebrew title: By David.
1I thank you, LORD, with all my heart;
I sing praise to you before the gods.
2I face your holy Temple,
bow down, and praise your name
because of your constant love and faithfulness,
because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.#138.2 Probable text your name and your commands are supreme; Hebrew your command is greater than all your name.
3You answered me when I called to you;
with your strength you strengthened me.
4All the kings in the world will praise you, LORD,
because they have heard your promises.
5They will sing about what you have done
and about your great glory.
6Even though you are so high above,
you care for the lowly,
and the proud cannot hide from you.
7When I am surrounded by troubles,
you keep me safe.
You oppose my angry enemies
and save me by your power.
8You will do everything you have promised;
LORD, your love is eternal.
Complete the work that you have begun.

Psalms 138
138
By David.
1I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods,#138:1 The word elohim, used here, usually means “God” but can also mean “gods”, “princes”, or “angels”. I will sing praises to you.
2I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth;
for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.
3In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
4All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh,
for Yahweh’s glory is great!
6For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but he knows the proud from afar.
7Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
8Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me.
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
