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!
