Psalms Chapter 138 תְּהִלִּים


א לְדָוִד:  אוֹדְךָ בְכָל-לִבִּי;    נֶגֶד אֱלֹהִים אֲזַמְּרֶךָּ. 1 [A Psalm] of David. I will give Thee thanks with my whole heart, in the presence of the mighty will I sing praises unto Thee.
ב אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל-הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ,    וְאוֹדֶה אֶת-שְׁמֶךָ--
עַל-חַסְדְּךָ    וְעַל-אֲמִתֶּךָ:
כִּי-הִגְדַּלְתָּ עַל-כָּל-שִׁמְךָ,    אִמְרָתֶךָ.
2 I will bow down toward Thy holy temple, and give thanks unto Thy name {N}
for Thy mercy and for Thy truth; {N}
for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
ג בְּיוֹם קָרָאתִי, וַתַּעֲנֵנִי;    תַּרְהִבֵנִי בְנַפְשִׁי עֹז. 3 In the day that I called, Thou didst answer me; Thou didst encourage me in my soul with strength.
ד יוֹדוּךָ יְהוָה, כָּל-מַלְכֵי-אָרֶץ:    כִּי שָׁמְעוּ, אִמְרֵי-פִיךָ. 4 All the kings of the earth shall give Thee thanks, O YAHOWAH, for they have heard the words of Thy mouth.
ה וְיָשִׁירוּ, בְּדַרְכֵי יְהוָה:    כִּי-גָדוֹל, כְּבוֹד יְהוָה. 5 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of YAHOWAH; for great is the glory of YAHOWAH.
ו כִּי-רָם יְהוָה, וְשָׁפָל יִרְאֶה;    וְגָבֹהַּ, מִמֶּרְחָק יְיֵדָע. 6 For though YAHOWAH be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar.
ז אִם-אֵלֵךְ, בְּקֶרֶב צָרָה--    תְּחַיֵּנִי:
עַל אַף אֹיְבַי, תִּשְׁלַח יָדֶךָ;    וְתוֹשִׁיעֵנִי יְמִינֶךָ.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou quickenest me; {N}
Thou stretchest forth Thy hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand doth save me.
ח יְהוָה, יִגְמֹר בַּעֲדִי:    יְהוָה, חַסְדְּךָ לְעוֹלָם; מַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אַל-תֶּרֶף. 8 YAHOWAH will accomplish that which concerneth me; Thy mercy, O YAHOWAH, endureth for ever; forsake not the work of Thine own hands. {P}
