Give Thanks to the Lord
Of David.
1 #
Ps. 111:1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before #Ps. 95:3; 96:5the gods I sing your praise;
2I bow down #Ps. 28:2; 1 Kgs. 8:29 toward your #Ps. 5:7holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.#138:2 Or you have exalted your word above all your name
3On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.#138:3 Hebrew you made me bold in my soul with strength
4 # See Ps. 102:15 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5and they shall sing of #Ps. 103:7the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 # [Ps. 131:1; Prov. 3:34; Luke 1:48; James 4:6]; See Ps. 113:5, 6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
but the haughty he knows from afar.
7 # [Ps. 23:4] Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you #See Ps. 71:20 preserve my life;
you #[1 Sam. 24:6; Job 1:12] stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your #Ps. 60:5right hand delivers me.
8The Lord will #Ps. 57:2; [Phil. 1:6] fulfill his purpose for me;
#
Ps. 136:1; See 1 Chr. 16:41 your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake #See Ps. 100:3the work of your hands.

Tehillim (Psa) 138
138
1By David:
I give you thanks with all my heart.
Not to idols, but to you I sing praise.
2I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth;
for you have made your word [even] greater
than the whole of your reputation.
3When I called, you answered me,
you made me bold and strong.
4All the kings of the earth will thank you, Adonai,
when they hear the words you have spoken.
5They will sing about Adonai’s ways,
“Great is the glory of Adonai!”
6For though Adonai is high, he cares for the lowly;
while the proud he perceives from afar.
7You keep me alive when surrounded by danger;
you put out your hand when my enemies rage;
with your right hand you save me.
8Adonai will fulfill his purpose for me.
Your grace, Adonai, continues forever.
Don’t abandon the work of your hands!
