Of David.
138 I will praise you with all my heart.
In the face of other gods,
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple,
And I will praise your name
Because of your loyal love and your faithfulness.
For you have magnified your saying and your name above everything else.
3 On the day I called, you answered me;
4 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah},
For they will have heard the promises you have spoken.
5 They will sing about the ways of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah},
For the glory of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is great.
6 Though Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is high, he takes note of the humble,
But the haughty he knows only from a distance.
7 Even when I walk in the midst of danger, you will preserve me alive.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my enemies;
Your right hand will save me.
8 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} will accomplish all things in my behalf.
O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, your loyal love endures forever;
Do not forsake the works of your hands.
